Summary Introduction

Introduction:

There are various characteristics of the communities like their diversity and also their species feeding relationships.

Answer to Problem 1TYU

Correct answer:

The feeding relationship among the species in a community determines the trophic structure of the community. Therefore, option (D) is correct.

Explanation of Solution

Reason for the correct statement:

Trophic level refers to the position that a specific organism takes place in the food chain. The structure of trophic describes the relationship of feeding amongst the organisms. It is thus, also known as the food web or food chain.

Option (D) is given as “trophic structure”.

“The feeding relationship among the species in a community determines the trophic structure of the community”, it is the right answer.

Hence, option (D) is correct.

Reasons for the incorrect statements:

Option (A) is given as “secondary succession”.

It is one of the types of ecological succession. It refers to the change or destruction that occurs in a habitat due to any natural disaster. So, it is a wrong answer.

Option (B) is given as “ecological niche”.

It shows the role and position of a species with the environment. So, it is a wrong answer.

Option (C) is given as “species richness”.

It refers to the measurement of species diversity that is the number of species variety in a community. So, it is a wrong answer.

Hence, options (A), (B), and (C) are incorrect.

Conclusion

The trophic structure determines the feeding relationship among the species in a community.

In a population of Jackalopes (pictured below), horn length will vary between 0.5 and 2 feet, with the mean length somewhere around 1.05 feet. You pick Jackalopes that have horn lengths around 1.75 feet to breed as this appears to be the optimal length for battling other Jackalopes for food. After a round of breeding, you measure the offsprings' mean horn length is 1.67. What is the heritability of horns length (h2)? Is Jackalope horn length a heritable trait?

There are many differences between DNA replication happening during mitosis in a Douglas fir tree growing in the Oregon Cascade Mountains and DNA replication happening during a PCR reaction in a forestry research lab at Oregon State University where the laboratory is amplifying a Simple Sequence Repeat. Complete the following table that compares the two DNA replication events in terms of the primers, the nucleotides, the polymerase, and the target sequence. Additionally, give a general value for the number of copies of the template DNA after one S phase in one cell and after the lab has completed the PCR reaction.
