Answer:

Chromosome is the compact form of genetic material(DNA) present in the nucleus of a cell. These chromosomes are a combination of proteins and DNA. These chromosomes carry our hereditary material in the form of genes.

Each chromosomes carry many genes which are transferred to the next generation. Each chromosome divides into the S- phase and they become compact during the mitosis phase.  

Chromosomes can be seen under the microscope in the metaphase stage of cell cycle. 23 pairs of chromosomes are present in each cell out of which 22 are autosomes and 23rd is the sex chromosome.  

These sex chromosomes is different in both male and female because females have two X chromosomes and male have one X and one Y chromosome as sex chromosome.

How do changes in nutrient levels affect the structure of aquatic food webs?
vodka [1.7K]

ANSWER:

The effects of increasing or decreasing the nutrient levels in an aquatic food webs is described in the explanation.

Explanation:

If the nutrient levels in an aquatic food web increase moderately then it will result in increased production of the primary producers and the consumers.

But if the nutrient levels are increased excessively, like in eutrophication, then the increased level of nutrients will result in overproduction of the consumers like fishes, etc. Hence, there will be a scarcity of resources like oxygen in the water to support them and this will lead to a decline in biodiversity of the aquatic food web.

If the nutrient levels are decreased, then there will be competition for resources among the species which will ultimately lead to the decline of some species from the aquatic food web.
