Terrestrial productivity is more effective in the wet tropical climates as the net primary productivity decreases between equatorial and polar regions due to less sunlight and therefore there is a temperature decrease. Global productivity is limited by factors of water and sun, as most ecosystems rely on photosynthesis and water. Marine productivity tends to be higher, as rivers and water carry more nutrients and deposit them in other ecosystems. The most productive regions are areas such as wetlands and estuaries.

What have we learned from fossil evidence about evolution? a) it is an abrupt change. b)the process is observable. c) it takes place during one lifetime only. d)the most complex traits are always selected.

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.
