Scavengers are an organism that mostly consumes decaying biomass.
<span>
Detritivores feed on decaying organic matter and return essential nutrients back to the ecosystem.
So the answer would be (D). Both organisms feed on pieces of other dead organisms.</span>
Blank 1: <u>hawks and owls</u>
Explanation: Tertiary consumers lie on the top of the food web or pyramid. They are dependent on other organisms for their food. These are carnivores by mode of nutrition. Here, the food web sequence would be like-
small birds----->snakes----->hawks and owls.
That's why they are the tertiary consumers.
Blank 2: <u>decomposers
</u>
Explanation: The organic matter of dead plants and animals is decomposed by decomposers. They breakdown the complex organic compounds into simpler substances.
Answer:
2.Less than 73% of the populations would have only one allele present.
Explanation:
The two alleles chosen do not affect the fitness of flies in the lab environment, so Kerr and Wright could be confident that if changes in the frequency of normal and forked phenotypes occurred, they would not be due to natural selection.
Using a larger breeding population would not be expected to alter the outcome of the experiment.
Physical or mental defects (such as cerebral palsy) can occur
