Well with the ph above 7 that means the water is more of a base due to the salt within the water. the decrease in the ph is due to gloabal warming and the melting of ice which is somewhat diluting the water more. the wildlife within the ocean has been there since you or i so some creatures have developed a very specific habbitat and less salt withing the water could have effects on them. one such instace is if the organism needs a lot of salt. a decrease in salt would mean that their cells would bloat with water until they explode. this would obviously hurt the species as a whole and in turn effect the whole food chain.
The correct answer would be D. DNA evidence showing it was more closely related to mammals than to other vertebrates <span />
Im pretty sure that its nondisjunction
<h2>Answer </h2>
Option D - The Linnaean system of classification used a nested hierarchy to sort organisms into groups based on similarities and differences in their characteristics. kingdom → phylum → class → order → family → genus → species.
<u>Explanation</u>
The family is missing from the Linnaean system of classification that is used for nested hierarchy. Carolus Linnaean worked for the taxonomy. It is the system of classifying and naming organisms. This system includes eight taxa: domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species. Linnaeus presented us with a uniform way to identify species called binomial nomenclature.
