8mm. You selected the hogs with the smallest amount of backfat, mated them and obtained the progeny generation. The selected hogs had a mean backfat content of 8.6mm. The broad sense and realized heritibilities for percent backfat in hogs are 0.82 and 0.38 respectively.
a) What is the selection differential? Round your values properly to 2 decimal digits.

b) What is the expected response to selection? Round your values properly to 2 decimal digits.

Use the model here to describe the transfer of matter and flow of energy from one trophic level to another within an ecosystem.
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

A)Biomass is transferred from one organism to another when one organism consumes another organism. When a predator organism eats the prey organism, the molecules on the food are broken down by the digestive system into smaller molecules. These smaller molecules like lipids, amino acids, glucose are used by the organism for various purposes.

B) Energy that is not transferred from one organism to another is either used up by the organism for various purposes. Most of the energy is lost into the environment in the form of heat.

c) There are typically fewer organisms at the top of the trophic levels because energy keeps on declining at each trophic levels so the number of consumers which it can satisfy also decreases.

d) Only 10% of the energy passes from one trophic level to another. The rest is usually lost in the form of heat. For example, if there was 100%  energy in the producers, only 10% would pass to the primary consumers. The secondary consumers will receive 1%.
