What might happen if the population of hawks in ecosystem grows very large?

there would be less nutrients for the plant.


Why is the number of genes that an organism possesses not an indication of its biological complexity?

The number of genes an organism possesses does not directly correlate with its biological complexity because gene function and regulation play critical roles in determining an organism's traits. For example, simpler organisms like certain bacteria can have a relatively large number of genes but exhibit straightforward biological processes. In contrast, more complex organisms, such as mammals, may have fewer genes but utilize intricate regulatory mechanisms, alternative splicing, and interactions between genes to achieve greater complexity. Additionally, environmental interactions, epigenetics, and developmental pathways significantly contribute to an organism's complexity beyond just gene count.


Why are a large number of offspring needed to get accurate results in genetic experiments?

Large number can reduce the error. It gives a sharper result


What are types of hawks?

There are several types of hawks. 1. Buteos. Large woodland and open country hawks, such as the red tailed, red shouldered, broad winged and others. 2. Accipiters. These are the so called chicken hawk species, that prey mainly on birds, swift ambush predators with rounded wings and long tails. Cooper's hawk, sharp shinned, and Goshawk. 3. Falcons. Fast flying hawks with pointed wings and great diving ability. Peregrine, kestrel, merlin, gyrfalcon, others. 4. Harriers. Hawks that swoop low over meadows and pastureland in such of prey, often seen hovering. Characterised by long wings and tail, and with white rump. Females are brown, males silvery gray. Northern harrier. 5. Kites. Graceful, swallow like flight, often with pointed wings and tail (except snail kite). Mississippi kite, snail Kite, swallow tailed kite, others. For more info on the various hawk species, a field guide is a useful tool.


Where are the light receptors located in the eye?

Light receptors are located in retina of eye ball. They are rods and cones. Rods are for night vision and cones for color vision. Retina is innermost layer in an eye in posterior compartment. Inside it, is vitreous gel. It is a part of brain and gets separate blood supply from branch of internal carotid artery. They are present in large number in fovea centralis. They are absent, where the optic nerve leaves the eye ball. That creates the 'blind spot' in visual area.
