Answer:

The populations of marsh snails and painted turtles will be depleted in size.

Explanation:

The given food chain is:

phytoplankton-----> marsh snails ---->painted turtles.

Since pollution has resulted in the depletion of phytoplankton, marsh snail population will be reduced in size due to unavailability or scarcity of their food  (phytoplankton). Similarly, the reduced population size of marsh snail would result in food scarcity for painted turtles. Therefore, the population size of painted turtles would also be reduced.

Answer:

Cell wall: A protective layer covering the outside of the cell. They keep the shape of the plant cell, prevent water loss, and provide support.

golgi apparatus: Transports proteins and lipids around the cell. Often it is called the shipping department of the cell.

chloroplast: Chloroplasts store chlorophyll and this is where photosynthesis takes place in the cell.

Cell membrane: A layer that covers the cell, acts as a gate and determines what comes and goes through the cell. It allows good things in, while keeping others out.

Intermediate filaments: Provides support when when the plant cell comes into contact with other cells.

Ribosome: The part of the cell that is responsible for creating proteins.

Genetic variation helps populations adapt to a changing
timama [110]

Answer:

Please find the explanation below

Explanation:

Sexual reproduction is the kind of reproduction that requires two organisms (male and female) to form an offspring. The male organism produces gametes called SPERM while the female organism produces gametes called EGG. These two gametes come together in a process called FERTILIZATION to produce a zygote, which develops into an offspring.

In sexual reproduction, gametes are produced by organisms involved via a process called MEIOSIS. Meiosis, however, reduces the chromosome number of the gametes by half. However, one process unique to only meiosis and sexual reproduction is called CROSSING OVER.

Crossing over is the process whereby chromosome segments is exchanged between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosome. This process causes a recombination of chromosomes (alleles) in such a way that the gametes will be genetically different from the parent organisms (genetic variation). According to this question, sexual reproduction leads to more genetic variation than asexual reproduction due to the process of CROSSING OVER that occurs in sexual reproduction.
