Coral reefs are unaffected by pollution. true or false

Biology
1 answer:
Mazyrski [523]3 years ago
3 0

Ans. False.

Coral reefs can be defined as underwater ecosystems, characterized by coral (marine invertebrates) skeletons. Coral reefs can survive only in clean and clear water. Pollutants and sediments smother the coral reefs, reduce water quality, and enhance the growth of damaging algae.

Pollution also makes coral reefs to become susceptible for disease, which impede growth and reproduction of corals, and cause damage to coral reefs.

Thus, the given statement is false as coral reefs are affected by pollution.

How could our baby be an albino?
lesantik [10]

Answer:

If both parents are heterozygous, there is a 1/4, 25%, 0.25 chance that the baby turns out albino.

Explanation:

Using A as the dominant allele and a as the recessive allele, I made a quick Punnett Square and attached it below. The outcomes are AA, Aa, Aa, and aa. I hope it helped! :]

There are 100 cats in a population that follows hardy-weinberg conditions. 4 cats display a recessive white coat color. how many
mr Goodwill [35]

We know that Hardy-Weinberg conditions include the following equations:


p^{2}+2pq+ q^{2}=1


where p+q=1


And where p = dominant, and q = recessive; this means that p^{2} is equal to the homozygous dominant, 2pq is the heterozygous, and q^{2} is the homozygous recessive .


So we have 100 total cats, with 4 having the recessive white coat color. That means we have a ratio of \frac{4}{100} or 0.04. Let that equal our q^{2} value.


So when we solve for q, we get:


q^{2}=0.04

q=\sqrt{0.04} =0.2


Now that we have our q value, we can use the other equation to find p:


p+q=1


p+0.2=1


p=0.8


So then we can solve for our heterozygous population:


2pq=2(0.8)(0.2)=0.32


This is the ratio of the population. So we then multiply this number by 100 to get the number of cats that are heterozygous:


0.32*100=32cats


So now we know that there are 32 heterozygous cats in the population.

What experimental evidence is there for the origin of life hypotheses?
ololo11 [35]

"The earliest evidence of life on Earth comes from fossils discovered in Western Australia that date back to about 3.5 billion years ago. These fossils are of structures known as stromatolites, which are, in many cases, formed by the growth of layer upon layer of single-celled microbes, such as cyanobacteria. (Stromatolites are also made by present-day microbes, not just prehistoric ones.)

The earliest fossils of microbes themselves, rather than just their by-products, preserve the remains of what scientists think are sulfur-metabolizing bacteria. The fossils also come from Australia and date to about 3.4 billion years ago

Bacteria are relatively complex, suggesting that life probably began a good deal earlier than 3.5 billion years ago. However, the lack of earlier fossil evidence makes pinpointing the time of life’s origin difficult (if not impossible)."
