The correct answer is - predator species in a community.
In the terrestrial ecosystems, a very good and usually sure predictor of the biodiversity is the existence of a predator species. The more predator species there are, the higher the biodiversity, and vice versa, the less predator species, the lesser the biodiversity.
The reason why the predators are such a good predictor of the biodiversity is that they are the species that are on the top of the food chain. That means that the predators are dependent for their survival on all the other species bellow them in the food chain, which is pretty much all species apart from themselves.
If a predator is present, than there has to be pray. If there's pray, omnivores and herbivores, than there has to be plants. All of the organisms are connected to one another, and the ones on the top of the food chain are the most dependent on the others, thus their existence usually means a healthy ecosystem with higher biodiversity.
The right answer is A.
The methylation profile of DNA is not obtained when DNA sequencing is performed.
Methylation is a process that can occur in DNA especially at the cytosine level. And this has a very important role in gene expression as it is part of the epigenetic expression.
Gene methylation can induce or repress gene expression depending on the localization of methylated bases.
The answer is B, sameness
D) competition for resources is greater
The more in the population, the more resources needed. If they run out of resources, the population decreases. They are competing to stay alive. I hope this helps!
I believe the answer is that the CFCs cause low ozone concentrations in the atmosphere.
Sorry if I'm wrong, hope this helps.
