In a forest ecosystem, the producers are large size trees which make the base of Pyramid. The herbivores such as fruit eating birds, deer, elephants etc. make the primary consumers and are less than primary producers. After that, the number goes down at each successive level.

The map distance between the genes A and B is 3 units, between B and C is 10 units and between C and A is 7 units. The order of the genes in a linkage map constructed on the above data would perhaps be
A, B, C
A, C, B
B, C, A
B, A, C
9: 3: 3: 1 ratio is modified to 9 : 7 ratio due to
complementary gene
epistatic gene
hypostatic gene
