Which of the following explains the role of fungi and slime molds as pictured in the rainforest food web shown below? Diagram for a rainforest food web. The food web contains the following organisms: jaguar, parrot, python, frog, chimpanzee, fruit bat, insects, banana plant, fungi, and slime molds. The fungi and slime molds are at the bottom of the web and connected to the remaining organisms in the food web. The banana plant is connected to the fungi, slime molds, fruit bat, and insects. The fruit bat is connected to the fungi, slime molds, banana plant, and python. The insects are connected to the fungi, slime molds, banana plant, frog and parrot. The frog is connected to the fungi, slime molds, insects, and parrot. The chimpanzee is connected to the fungi, slime molds, banana plant, and jaguar. The parrot is connected to the fungi, slime molds, frog, jaguar, and python. The python is connected to the fungi, slime molds, the parrot, and the fruit bat. The jaguar is connected to the fungi, slime molds, chimpanzee, and parrot.

They are decomposers that break down organic wastes and dead organisms into compounds used by plants for photosynthesis.
They are producers that make food by converting water and carbon dioxide into glucose and oxygen, using energy from the Sun.
They are autotrophs that use chemicals as an energy source to produce food when sunlight is not available.
They are heterotrophs that get their energy by consuming plants, herbivores, and other primary 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.

Bisphenol a (often called bpa) is a chemical found in products that people use every day, from water bottles to food containers to children's toys. unfortunately, bpa leaches out of its many products and makes its way into our bodies. what are the health effects of bpa exposure? ongoing research is finding that elevated exposure to bpa can affect a wide variety of developmental and physiological processes, but one of the first studies of bpa's health effects came about because of a simple mistake in the lab. at a laboratory at case western reserve university in 1998, geneticist patricia hunt was making a routine check of her female lab mice. as she extracted and examined developing eggs from the ovaries, she began to wonder what had gone wrong. she noticed that many of the eggs showed problems with their chromosomes, and some had irregular amounts of genetic material, which can lead to miscarriages and birth defects in mammals. she learned that a lab assistant had mistakenly washed the plastic mouse cages and water bottles with a harsh soap, releasing bpa from the plastic. knowing that bpa is an endocrine disruptor, a chemical that can enter organisms and mimic hormones, hunt set out to discover whether it had adversely affected her mice.
