Classify the interactions as being direct or indirect competition. a. two eagles fight over a salmon carcass. b. all the gray foxes in a habitat prey primarily on penguins. c. two colonies of black ants clash over a wasp. d. gray squirrels in an area rely on nuts for food.

Competition occurs by direct and indirect means. Organisms interact directly by fighting (aggression) for scarce resources. Two eagles fighting over the salmon carcass and two colonies of ant clashing over a wasp are samples of aggression (direct competition)

Indirect competition happens when there is a common or limited supply of at least one resource  (food, water, and territory). Use of this resource lessens and later depletes the amount available to others, or they compete for space. Gray foxes preying on penguins and squirrels relying on nuts for food are samples of indirect competition.

A. direct B. indirect C. direct D. indirect

Explanation:

yeah

i think the answer is b.

hope it

step 1: initiation

initiation is the beginning of transcription. it occurs when the enzyme rna polymerase binds to a region of a gene called the promoter. this signals the dna to unwind so the enzyme can ‘‘read’’ the bases in one of the dna strands. the enzyme is now ready to make a strand of mrna with a complementary sequence of bases.

step 2: elongation

elongation is the addition of nucleotides to the mrna strand. rna polymerase reads the unwound dna strand and builds the mrna molecule, using complementary base pairs. there is a brief time during this process when the newly formed rna is bound to the unwound dna. during this process, an adenine (a) in the dna binds to an uracil (u) in the rna.

step 3: termination

termination is the ending of transcription, and occurs when rna polymerase crosses a stop (termination) sequence in the gene. the mrna strand is complete, and it detaches from dna.
