Dead zones are created by hypoxia and the bacterial decay of dead phytoplankton.

<h3>What are the effects of excess phytoplankton population?</h3>

The Chesapeake Bay, like many other bodies of water, is overrun with nutrients, which results in a type of pollution called eutrophication. Every spring, sewage treatment facilities, farms, and lawns release large amounts of nitrogen and phosphorus into the Bay. These nutrients fuel the growth of algae as the water warms up in the summer, resulting in blooms that deplete the water's oxygen content and create sizable "dead zones" where fish, crabs, and other aquatic life find it challenging to survive. During these times, some of the mud's surface layers and portions closer to the bottom may become anoxic, meaning there is no oxygen present at all.

Categorize allele interactions as completely dominant, incompletely dominant, or codominant.
evablogger [386]

Answer:

Explanation:

Gregor Mendel showed his inheritance character in the garden pea plant. According to him, there are 2 alleles which are inheritable - dominant allele and recessive allele. The dominant allele is always dominant over the recessive one which is known as the complete dominance. When the offsprings have both recessive alleles it will show its character.

There are other characters present besides dominant and recessive. Such characters are known as Mendelian deviation as it does not obey Mendel's law of inheritance. e.g. codominance, incomplete dominance.

In codominance alleles, characters are blended and a new character has seen in the next generation. This new character is neither dominant not recessive, it is an intermediate character between the 2 characters.

e.g When the white and red flowers crossed pink flowers are formed along with red and white.

In the case of codominance, both alleles express their characters. Such phenotypic characters are known as codominance because both alleles are expressed in the offsprings.

e.g. When the red and white flower plants crossed the offspring flowers are red with white spots or the white with red spots.

Gram-negative bacteria have a cell wall that is and does not accept the stain, making it appear .
harkovskaia [24]
<span>Gram-negative bacteria have a cell wall that is <u>thin</u> and does not accept the stain, making it appear <u>red or pink</u><u />.
<u>
</u>Gram staining is used for differentiation gram-positive from gram-negative bacteria based on the characteristic of their cell wall. Gram-negative bacteria have a thinner cell wall than gram-positive bacteria. In this staining, bacteria are first stained with crystal violet dye. Only gram-positive bacteria will be violet colored because they can retain the dye thanks to their cell wall. The second staining with fuchsine or safranin will give the red or pink color to the gram-negative bacteria. <u>
