Basically. Everytime an organism consumes something, 90% of the energy is lost as heat, in digestion, ect. So, if you start with a plant (which is an autotroph, meaning it makes its own food) at 100% energy, the rabbit that eats it will only get 10% of the energy from it. Then the fox that eats the rabbit will only get 1% of the energy from the plant. This continues down the food chain.

The gamete only has one of each pair. So it’ll have either of C or c, and then either of D or d. These combine to form CD, Cd, cD and cd pairs.
