The major cause of staghorn corals decline is, that some organisms in the same aquatic environment affect them negatively and harm them a lot.

<h3>What do you mean by Corals?</h3>

Corals may be defined as marine invertebrates organisms that are composed of colonies of skeletons underwater bodies.

Staghorn is so vulnerable because its branches are so fragile and break by any disturbances. This causes the staghorn to ultimately disintegrate and die.

Therefore, it is well described above.

Which benefits do mangrove trees provide to surrounding coastal wetlands? Check all that apply.
Anon25 [30]

The mangroves trees help in holding the soil in place, they help in absorbing the energy of waves, and they help in filtering water and better the quality of it.  

Mangroves are a kind of estuarine or coastal wetland, featured by the existence of salt amended shrubs and trees, which develops beside the coast in subtropical or tropical latitudes all around the world. Several of the mangroves forests can be determined by their dense tangle of prop roots, which make the trees seem to be standing on stilts above the water.  

The mangroves safeguard the shorelines from destructing hurricane, storms, winds, and floods. They help in inhibiting erosion by stabilizing the sediments with their tangled root infrastructure. They sustain the clarity and quality of water, trapping the sediments and filtering pollutants arising from land.

Now that you have identified the components of DNA, can you describe how these components bind together to form a DNA molecule?
omeli [17]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is attached below.

Answer:

1. DNA is the polymer of deoxyribonucleotides that contain the nitrogenous base, pentose sugar and phosphate group. The phosphate is attached with the 3 C position of the deoxyribose sugar. This leads to teh formation of phosphodiester bond.

2. The DNA backbone consists of phosphate and sugar. The nitrogenous bases are inserted inside the DNA molecule. These nitrogenous bases are linked together by the hydrogen bonds.

3. The adenine binds requires two hydrogen bonds to bind with thymine. This provide complementary nature to the DNA molecule. Uracil is present instead of thymine in RNA .

4. The guanine binds requires three hydrogen bonds to bind with cytosine. More amount of energy is required to break their bonds.
