How is the shape of a shark's body adapted for swimming?

Their bodies taper to points at both the snout and the tail, reducing water resistance. Also decreasing drag -- and therefore noise -- are dermal denticles, sharp scales that cover the skin of most shark species.  Rather than bone, sharks have cartilage, which is much lighter and more flexible. In addition, their livers produce squalene, a fatty oil that helps them remain afloat. Their pectoral fins allow them to quickly change direction, dive and swim upward.

How might it be possible for a child to show a trait that neither of the parents showed?​
e-lub [12.9K]

A person can only show a recessive trait if both of their parents carried at least one copy of each of the recessive allele. The parents do not need to show the trait, as one copy is not enough to reveal it, but they must both carry it.

Hope this helped!

thousands of years

Explanation:

A delta the size of the Mississippi River will take several thousand of years to form because the process of formation of a delta is geologically controlled.

A delta is a place where  river enters or drains into the sea with many mouth or outlets.

Deltas are depositional terrain full of dis-tributaries.

  • For a delta to form, a terrain must be close to the mouth of an ocean or a larger body of water.
  • The entering stream must be large enough and have large amount of sediment.
  • The river mouth must have been cut to the same level with that of the drainage basin.
  • Most rivers such terrain should be at their lower course where they flow with very low velocity.
  • Wave action should be minimal along such coasts.

These processes takes several thousands of years if not millions.
