Food web starting with sun and pointing to grasshopper and squirrel. Grasshopper pointing to squirrel, wolf, and snake. Squirrel pointing to wolf, snake, and bird. Wolf pointing to decomposition with worms and mushrooms. Snake pointing to wolf and decomposition with worms and mushrooms. Bird pointing to decomposition with worms and mushrooms. Decomposition pointing to the sun stating soil nutrients. If we removed the producers from this food web, how would it affect the balance of the ecosystem?
A)There would be an increase in consumers and decomposers.
B)There would be a decrease in consumers and decomposers.
C)There would be a decrease in primary consumers and an increase in secondary consumers.
D) There would be an increase in primary consumers and a decrease in secondary consumers.

In a hypothetical breed of dogs, coat color is controlled by two genes. there are six different coat colors in this breed: black, brown, cream, gray, silver, and tan. consider the following crosses. cross 1: black females from a lineage of all black dogs are crossed with brown males from a lineage of all brown dogs. f1 males and females are all black. when f1 are intercrossed, f2 males and females are black or brown. cross 2: black females from a lineage of all black dogs are crossed with tan males from a lineage where all males are tan and all females are cream. f1 males are black, f1 females are gray. when f1 are intercrossed, f2 males and females are black, brown, gray, or tan. cross 3: silver females from a lineage where all females are silver and all males are gray are crossed with brown males from a lineage of all brown dogs. f1 males and females are all gray. when f1 are intercrossed, f2 males are black, brown, gray, or tan, f2 females are cream, gray, silver, or tan. select the correct statements regarding the mode of inheritance of the coat color genes. a) both genes are x-linked. b) both genes are autosomal. c) one of the genes modifies the expression of the other gene. d) each gene has an additive effect on the intensity of coat color. e) each gene independently specifies three colors. f) one of the genes is autosomal, and the other is x-linked.
