Florida Ecosystems

Once given your Florida ecosystem, you will research and present the topics listed below about your ecosystem. Please include visuals.

Briefly tell us where in Florida your ecosystem is often found and general characteristics

---average amount of water

---general physical characteristics

---unique characteristics of your ecosystem

List and describe 3 common producers found in your ecosystem

---include information such as what type of species prey on these producers, what the producer needs in order to survive and thrive, etc.)

List and describe 6 common consumers found in your ecosystem

---In your descriptions please include what the animals are preying on, where they build shelters, what their niche is, etc.)

Try to find at least one decomposer and/or scavenger in your ecosystem

--- What is it eating/decomposing? How is this helpful to the ecosystem?

List and describe one example of mutualism, one example of commensalism and one example of parasitism in your ecosystem

---Name the species involved and explain the relationships

List any endangered, threatened or extinct species from that ecosystem

Explain 1 food chain in your ecosystem

Explain competition between species in your ecosystem

please help fast am giving 20 points and brainiest ok I posted the same question 2 time please stop whoever is stealing the points please stop am running out of points

Called creepy, scary and spooky, bats often get a bad rap. They’re an important species that impact our daily lives in ways we might not even realize. From pollinating our favorite fruits to eating pesky insects to inspiring medical marvels, bats are heroes of the night.

explanation:

the fossil record extends back to a dog-like ancestor some 55 million years ago, which gave rise to the first horse-like species 55 to 42 million years ago in the genus eohippus.

an individual’s sex (i.e., whether they are a male or female) is determined by the sex chromosomes. most people have two sex chromosomes, one that is inherited from their mother and one that is inherited from their father. typically, females have two x chromosomes (xx) and males have one x chromosome and one y chromosome (xy). conditions caused by changes (“mutations”) in genes located on the x chromosome are considered x-linked.

x-linked recessive inheritance

most x-linked conditions are recessive. this means that in a person with two x chromosomes (most females), both copies of a gene (i.e., one on each x chromosome) must have a change or mutation whereas in a person with one x chromosome (most males), only one copy of a gene must have a mutation. a female with a mutation in one copy of a gene on the x chromosome is said to be a “carrier” for an x-linked condition. a male with a mutation in a gene on the x chromosome is typically affected with the condition. because females have two copies of the x chromosome and males have only one x chromosome, x-linked recessive diseases are more common among males than females. however, x-linked recessive diseases can occur in both males and females.

for x-linked recessive disorders, an unaffected carrier mother who has a mutation in a gene on the x chromosome can transmit either the x chromosome with this mutation or a “normal” x chromosome to her children. if the father is unaffected, none of her daughters will be affected and all of her daughters will be unaffected—since they will inherit at least one normal x chromosome from their father. however, each daughter will have a 50% chance of being an unaffected carrier like her mother and a 50% chance of both x chromosomes being normal.
