Autotrophs, at the base of the trophic pyramid, exist in greater numbers than organisms at higher levels of the pyramid and also have greater stores of energy as well as greater .

Biomass

Explanation:

Autotrophs are the essential organisms as they produces the food for them as well as for the consumers. This is possible as they can carry out the process of photosynthesis. They uses the light energy provided by the sun and thereby converts it into biomass.

So, these biomass is found to be in maximum amount at the base of the trophic level and it gradually decreases as the trophic level increases.

Thus, the autotrophs stores greater energy as well as greater biomass in the lower trophic level.

answer; i do believe that the correct answer is; ///mendelian genes are at specific loci on the chromosome and, in turn, segregate during meiosis;

tsd is temerature dependent sex determination.

tsd: it is a type of environmental sex determination in which the temperature experienced during embryonic/ larval development (ambient temperature for development) determine the sex of the offspring.

crocodile displays the tsd where the ambient temperature of the developing egg determines the individual's sex. for example in the american alligator's eggs, incubation at 33 ºc produces mostly males, while incubation at 30 ºc produces mostly females. so if the american alligator's egg will get the ambient temperature (33 degree celcius)during embryonic development from egg, the offspring will be male and same for the female sex determination.
