In lecture, I mentioned most lakes are phosphorus limited. However, the most severely eutrophic lakes are often nitrogen limited

, Explain how intense phytoplankton production can cause lakes to flip from being phosphorus limited to being nitrogen limited. Mention hypoxia, cyanobacteria, nitrogen-fixation, iron-redox reactions, sediment phosphorus release and denitrification.

Answer:

Phosphorus is essential for growth of plants and other organisms. When concentration of phosphorus mostly from high breeding rate e.g., pigs, cattle etc. rise in water it causes severe growth of plants and algae as well as phytoplanktons. As a results layers of phosphorus start to release phosphorus as well due to positive gradient. These reactions in water are iron-redox reactions that are crucial for the release of phosphorus.

When too much phosphorus accumulates, it produces a degrading growth feedback in plants, algae and phytoplanktons that then shift toward excessive nitrogen available from fertilizers and cause a flip from P to N. Cynobacteria now dominates and denitrification as well as nitrification takes place simultaneously.

Severe eutrophication induces hypoxia in water that cause a major damage to plants biodiversity in the environment.

mart [117]
During a 30 year period, the yearly frequency of drought is 10%, which is experienced in three separate years.
Additionally, drought is a period where precipitation is below average and thus resulting in prolonged shortages of water supply as far as both ground and surface water are concerned. This can last for several months or even for years.

Is a gene that can be masked by dominant gene
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

i believe the answer is recessive.

Explanation:

a recessive gene can be expressed as rr instead of RR so if one does a punnet square it would show up to be Rr Rr Rr Rr, since R represents a  dominant  trait and r being being recessive, then the answer would be recessive. (sorry if it doesn't really make any sense)
