Answer: Here are three reasons if they don't help just tell me.
1. Changes in water temperature can affect the environments where fish, shellfish, and other marine species live. As climate change causes the oceans to become warmer year-round, populations of some species may adapt by shifting toward cooler areas. Oceans are becoming more acidic. 2. Oceans are becoming more acidic. The acidity of seawater is increasing as a direct result of increasing carbon dioxide levels in the air from human activities, like burning fossil fuels. Concentrations of carbon dioxide are higher than in the last 800,000 years. Carbon dioxide dissolves in water, changing seawater chemistry and decreasing pH (making seawater more acidic). The ocean’s increased acidity results in thinner shells and more shellfish die as they become easier for predators to eat. 3. More severe storms and precipitation can pollute coastal waters. Warmer oceans increase the amount of water that evaporates into the air. When more moisture-laden air moves over land or converges into a storm system, it can produce more intense precipitation—for example, heavier rainstorms. Heavy rain in coastal areas can lead to increases in runoff and flooding, impairing water quality as pollutants on land wash into water bodies. Some coastal areas, such as the Gulf of Mexico and the Chesapeake Bay, are already experiencing “dead zones” – areas where water is depleted of oxygen because of pollution from agricultural fertilizers, delivered by runoff. The phrase “dead zone” comes from the lack of life – including fish – in these waters.
Answer:
A. True
Explanation:
Hemoglobin is a protein and has two distinct types of polypeptide chains. These are called the alpha and beta subunits. The gene that code for the beta chain undergoes a mutation in a single base that causes sickle cell anemia. Here, adenine base in the genetic code for glutamic acid is substituted with a thymine base.
The genetic code for glutamic acid in the beta chain gene is GAG. The "A" is replaced with "T" and the new code "GTG" codes for valine. Therefore, the mutated hemoglobin has valine in place of glutamic acid. This makes these mutated protein molecules to form aggregates resulting in a change in the shape of RBCs carrying them.
It has been a while since biology...but if there is one thing I definitely remember, it is the replication process of DNA.
Once the cell is ready to commence the process of replication, it begins by unzipping the double helix. This task is completed by an enzyme called the DNA Helicase. Then a DNA Polymerase takes half of the unzipped DNA strand and creates corresponding deoxyribonucleotides.
Hope I could help! Have a good one.
