All organisms in an ecosystem are interrelated by the abiotic and biotic resources they use in the course of their lives: a. describe the relationships that exist among a mockingbird, caterpillar, milkweed, and soil in a particular ecosystem. b. discuss two examples of the impact of human population growth on abiotic components of the environment. for each example, explain how a change in the abiotic component will impact the biotic component of the biosphere.

Suppose you are estimating the size of a blue crab population. what is the population size if the number marked in the first catch is 40, the total number in the second catch is 200, and the number marked in the second catch is 50?

You will create a molecular clock model for an arthropod gene. follow these guidelines to make your model: . your timeline will span from 90 million years ago to the present. the common ancestor in your model is an arthropod that lived 90 million years ago. the gene that you'll track codes for a protein in the species venom . the dna sequence youll track contains 10 nitrogen bases. you can choose the order of the bases and where the mutations occur. this gene mutates at a rate of approximately 0.76 base pairs every 17.1 million years. to build your model,/ calculate the estimated time period it takes for 1 base pair to mutate. the first time period will only show the common ancestor. at the beginning of the second time period, three lineages will diverge from the common ancestor, each with a different mutation in their gene sequences. the first and third descendant species will survive for the rest of the timeline. the second descendant species was extinct 50 million years ago. calculate how long it will take for one full base pair mutation to occur. explain your reasoning by constructing a mathematical equation
