The right answer is A. producer.
Phytoplankton are all cyanobacteria and microalgae (microscopic plants) present in surface waters and drifting with the currents. Unknown because invisible to the naked eye, phytoplankton is the lung of our planet. Thanks to photosynthesis, it produces more than half of the Earth's oxygen and consumes half of the carbon dioxide. Phytoplankton is essential for marine life because it is also at the base of the ocean food chain.
Answer:
B)Photosynthesis releases oxygen into the atmosphere while aerobic respiration removes oxygen from the atmosphere.
Explanation:
Only option B satisfies the answer to the question.
We know that photosynthesis is the process whereby green plants manufacture their foods in the presence of carbon dioxide and sunlight. Carbondioxie in the environment is used to manufacture food in plants. The bye product of photosynthesis is oxygen gas. Oxygen gas is used for aerobic respiration in animals and is essential for their life. This way photosynthesis adds to the pool of oxygen in the atmosphere and aerobic respiration removes from the pool.
Complete question:
A sample of butterflies contained 50% yellow-winged individuals and 50% black-winged individuals. In this species, wing color is determined by a single gene with two alleles, and the allele for black is dominant. Which of the following statements about the allele frequencies in the sample would most likely be true? Do not assume that this sample was obtained from a population in genetic equilibrium.
a)The frequency of the yellow allele is greater than that of the black allele.
b)The allele frequency of yellow is 3 times the allele frequency of black.
c)The allele frequency of yellow is twice the allele frequency of black.
d)The allele frequencies of black and yellow are equal.
e) The allele frequency of black is greater than the allele frequency of yellow.
2.Now assume that the population of butterflies sampled in question above is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Also assume that the sample is random and large enough that the allele frequencies in the sample equal the allele frequencies in the population. What is the frequency of the allele for a) yellow wings in the population? Assuming Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in question 1, what would the correct answer be and why?
Answer:
- a)The frequency of the yellow allele is greater than that of the black allele.
- f(b) = q = 0.71
