Answer:
The correct answer is- founder effect
Explanation:
Founder effect occurs when a small number of individual isolates from the majority of the population by natural calamity or any other region. These isolated individuals show less genetic diversity than the larger population because they are less in numbers.
Therefore founder effect makes a small group of individuals isolate from a bigger population and make them occupy a different habitat. So a founder population can go on a newly developed island and start reproducing there.
A founder population over time converts into a new species because of reproductive isolation from the main population. So the evolution of life on the island of Hawaii should have been most strongly influenced by founder effect.
So given the suggested food chain of algae-snail-sunfish-heron we can conclude that this food chain is heavily dependent on the process of photosynthesis.
The algae is the only of the organism that are directly dependent of the photosynthesis for their survival, while the snail, sunfish, and heron, and indirectly dependent on it.
Since we are talking about a food chain, in essence it means that all organism are connected through one another. So the algae perform photosynthesis for its own survival, the snail is using the algae is a food source, the snail is later eaten by the sunfish, and the sunfish goes on the menu of the heron.
If the algae, by some scenario, are not able to perform photosynthesis, than they will die off, and if they die off, than the snail will die off because of lack of food, if the snail dies off, along with it dies off the sunfish because of lack of food, and if the sunfish is out of the scene, the heron goes as well.
So we can conclude that the process of photosynthesis is of crucial importance for the survival of all four species, be it directly or indirectly.
Answer: The correct answer is nucleotide.
Explanation:
Nucleic acids are the polymer of nucleotides which are attached with each other with the help of phospho-diester bonds.
Nucleotide consists of sugar (ribose in RNA and deoxyribose in DNA), phosphate group, and nitrogenous base (A, T, G, and in DNA; and A, U, G, and C in RNA).
