Answer:

b)eutrophication

Explanation:

have you ever seen a lake or body of water with a layer of green on top? That's eutrophication due to heavy amounts of growth nutrients (primarily from runoffs from agriculture) in water. Simple plants utilize those and grow very fast. As they grow, they take up the oxygen and make water oxygen poor. These produce deadzones cuz the water life basically suffocates to death due to less oxygen. Eventually plants will also die

What specialized structures does crayfish have that make it well suited to its environment​
Zinaida [17]
Crayfish are invertebrates which means they don't have a backbone. They are also arthropods, which means that they have a protective exoskeleton on the outside of their body. Other arthropods include insects, spiders, and centipedes. Crayfish continually shed their exoskeleton and regrow a new one. During this transition is when they are most vulnerable to predators because they aren't protected by their outer shell.

Crayfish are found all over the world in many different freshwater environments, such as rivers, creeks, springs, and swamps. But this doesn't necessarily mean that you will be able to find them. They are somewhat cryptic because they dig out homes for themselves under rocks and blend in well with their environment. Crayfish will ardently defend this dwelling against intruders using their strong front claws

The process of translation in prokaryotes can occur faster than in eukaryotes because
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

Transcription and translation occur simultaneously in prokaryotes.

Explanation:

Prokaryotes lack membrane-bound organelles and therefore, do not have a nucleus. Transcription and translation occur in the cytoplasm. As soon as the required length of mRNA is being formed, ribosomes join it and start the process of translation. Prokaryotic genes lack introns. The primary transcript formed by transcription in prokaryotes does not undergo splicing.

On the other hand, the process of transcription occurs in the nucleus in eukaryotes while translation occurs in the cytoplasm. The primary transcript formed by transcription in eukaryotes undergoes modifications to remove introns and to add a poly-A tail and 5' cap. Post-transcriptional modifications and spatial separation of two processes in eukaryotes result in slower translation than prokaryotes.

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

The correct answer would be  

  • It cures all cases of cystic fibrosis.
  • It involves the modification of DNA.
  • It attempts to replace a mutated gene with normal DNA.
  • It does not always cure patients who use it.

Gene therapy is an experimental technique used to treat the genetic disorder by transplanting the normal gene into the cell in order to replace the missing or defective gene in a cell.

It helps in treating genetic disorders such as cystic fibrosis, hemophilia et cetera.

It can be of two types of somatic gene therapy and germline gene therapy.
