Water cycle affects ocean salinity on different levels.

For example, evaporation of ocean water increases the salinity of the ocean, while precipitation and melting of ice decrease it, achieving the balance. Temperature, salinity and water cycle are tightly connected. As global temperatures rises, evaporation increases, and so the salinity. Salty ocean has a tendency to sink. On the other hand warmer ocean rises to the surface and this has influence on ocean currents which then impact the weather.

Explain why there is a limited number of organisms in a food chain

tankabanditka [31]

There are different trophic levels at each stage. Trophic levels determine the amount of energy at each stage of the food chain. For example, the energy is 100% at the producer (plant), so it's the 1st trophic level, and so on. Energy amounts decrease as you go up a food chain, and you rarely find more than 5 animals in one because there is not enough energy left for the 6th consumer

Which genotype determines that a person does NOT have sickle-cell anemia, but has the potential to pass the genetic disease on t

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is C) AS</em>

Explanation:

Sickle cell anaemia is a recessive disorder in which the blood of the person is not able to clot properly. For sickle cell to occur, both the alleles for the trait have to be recessive. A person who has a dominant and a recessive allele will be heterozygous, showing the dominant characteristics. But such a person will be a carrier for the disease. There will be chances for the offsprings of that person to actually have the disease.
