Waves transfer energy from the wind to the water environment, it played a major role in the survival of ocean life. Ocean waves function to clean the surface and help to oxygenate the water below the surface.
Waves also help to carry nutrients for marine animals along the shorelines, it has a great impact on habitability for various species of the marine environment. It breaks sediments from shorelines and deposits them to others, which result in the formation of beaches of sand and gravel that support a variety of species that live on rocky seashores.
Tides and currents affect and influence the natural world and human society. Tides and currents carry nutrients, moderate temperatures, and influence conditions in numerous ecosystems. The relationship between society and tides and currents is obvious as coastal cities built to withstand prescribed levels of tidal surge are now being impacted by record breaking tidal surges, and the building of solid coastal structures do not allow waves to dissipate energy on land but deflect their energy to other coastal areas along the shore.
The organism previously used 15N for replication so all the DNA molecules were of 15N15N type. Then the organism is shifted to a medium where only 14N is available for replication.
According to semi conservative mode of replication, a newly synthesised DNA molecule consists of one new strand and one parental strand. So after the first round of replication, All the 15N strands will synthesise new DNA strands using 14N resulting into intermediate 15N14N DNA molecules. Hence, only one band would be observed (15N14N) above the original 15N15N band since 15N14N has lighter isotope too so it will be lighter than 15N15N molecules and will lie above it.
After second round of replication, 15N strand from 15N14N would synthesise another 14N strand. 14N strand from 15N14N molecules will also synthesise another 14N strand. So now, 50% of the DNA molecules will be of 15N14N intermediate type and 50% of them will be of 14N14N type.Two bands will be observed above the original 15N15N band. One band of 15N14N molecules will be right above it and other band of 14N14N molecules will be even higher because it is the lightest band since it has only the lighter isotope of nitrogen.
Haploid cells contain a single set of chromosomes. Gametes are an example of haploid cells produced as a result of meiosis. Examples of gametes are the male and female reproductive cells, the sperm and egg cell respectively.
