Explanation:

In ecology, a pattern of feeding exists through which organisms obtain energy by feeding on one another. This pattern is called FOOD CHAIN. Each organism of the food chain are classified into into steps called trophic level based on their feeding behavior.

The first level contains unique set of organisms called AUTOTROPHS, based on their ability to produce their own food. These autotrophs are usually plants in a terrestrial environment. They are called PRIMARY PRODUCERS. They are the lowest level in the food chain.

These producers are eaten by another set of organisms called PRIMARY CONSUMERS. They are dependent on plants for food and energy source, hence, called heterotrophs.

In this question, the grass represents the producer, which will be fed upon by a herbivorous deer (consumer)

"1. it should be, it has been for about 20 years, and it's really not much different in the end than breeding animals to have particular traits. there are always concerns about genetically engineered animals/plants affecting the environment in unexpected negative ways, but i can't think of an example where the fears didn't turn out to be baseless.  

first, as you point out, it would be a great advance in pharmacology, to be able to tailor drugs and their doses to me. the pros involve better medical treatment. the cons involve privacy issues like insurance companies denying coverage to people with genetic risk factors. looking at dna markers wouldn't affect the frequency of genetic diseases, but it would allow detection of them earlier. and ok, actually i suppose that if people used this information to avoid having children with genetic diseases, some might decrease in frequency."
