Because measuring the amount of energy in each trophic level in an ecosystem is difficult, scientists often collectdata, which tells them the weight of living material at each trophic level. By weighing all the producers, herbivores, and carnivores in an ecosystem, a 90 percent loss of energy from one trophic level to the next has been observed.

name and explain one of the event that occurs during meiosis that increases the variation in offspring even more than simple reproduction?

cells spend most of their time in interphase

the two answers are a, the population of birds with large beaks will increase on the island, and c, the trait for large beaks will be passed on to future generations through natural selection. the reason for that is because if the birds that have beaks developed for eating small seeds lose all of their food, they will go hungry and eventually starve because they physically cannot eat the large seeds, therefore making the population of large beaked birds higher. also, if the trait of large beaks are dominant on the island over small beaks, then over time the large beaked birds will reproduce more and more, while the smaller beaked birds will reproduce less and less because they can't survive with the food provided. that leads to the trait of small beaks disappearing and the trait of large beaks taking over the island.
