Why is coral found near the surface of the water?

Biology
1 answer:
malfutka [58]4 years ago
3 0
Because of the water temperatures and ocean acidification linked to rising carbon dioxide levels. High water temperatures cause corals to lose the microscopic algea that produce the food corals.

Suppose a population is carrying a condition controlled by two alleles: R (dominant) and r (recessive). Only homozygous individu
White raven [17]

<span><u>The answer is A. 72.25 percent.</u>

The Hardy-Weinberg principle can be used:</span>

<em>p² + 2pq + q² = 1</em> and <em>p + q = 1</em>

where <em>p</em> and <em>q</em> are the frequencies of the alleles, and <em>p²</em>, <em>q²</em> and <em>2pq </em>are the frequencies of the genotypes.

<span>The <em>r</em> allele (<em>q</em>) is found in 15% of the population:
q = 15% = 15/100
Thus, q = </span><span>0.15

To calculate the <em>R</em> allele frequency (<em>p</em>), the formula p + q = 1 is used:
If p + q = 1, then p = 1 - q
p = 1 - 0.15
Thus, </span><span>p = 0.85

Knowing the frequency of the <em>R</em> allele (<em>p</em>), it is easy to determine the frequency of the RR genotype (p²):
p² = 0.85² = 0.7225

Expressed in percentage, p² = 72.25%.</span>

Of the statements below, identify the one that best describes the relationship between plants and oxygen.
viva [34]

Answer: A. plants produce oxygen during photosynthesis and they also need oxygen from the air for cellular respiration.

In the process of photosynthesis the plants in the presence of sunlight, water and carbon dioxide produces a carbohydrates as food and oxygen is liberated into the atmosphere. The process of photosynthesis takes place in day and plants avail oxygen from the roots and leaves for respiration. The food produced is broken down into carbon dioxide and water with the release of energy in the presence of oxygen during cellular respiration. Plants produce oxygen as a byproduct of photosynthesis and use oxygen for cellular respiration.

On the basis of the above information, A. plants produce oxygen during photosynthesis and they also need oxygen from the air for cellular respiration is the correct statement that describes the relationship between plants and oxygen.
