Answer:

The answer is Trichodesmium is an important source of usable nitrogen in the nutrient-poor waters and represents almost half of the nitrogen fixation in marine systems.

Explanation:

Nitrogen fixation is the process of converting atmospheric diatomic nitrogen into biologically usable forms of nitrogen, such as ammonium oxides and nitrogen. Trichodesmium is the only known diazotropic capable of fixing nitrogen in daylight in aerobic conditions, being the main diazotropic in marine pelagic systems and an important source of usable nitrogen in the nutrient-poor waters where it lives. Trichodesmium fixes nitrogen on a scale that represents almost half of the nitrogen fixation in marine systems worldwide.

White raven [17]

Answer: c. alluvial fan.

A wide sloping deposit of sediment formed where a stream leaves a mountain range is called an alluvial fan. An alluvial fan is the deposition of sediment on a landform like mountain. It forms as an open fan or cone of sediment. The sediments are left by natural drainage system like river on the landform.

There are two types of alluvial fans.

1. Debris dominated: These includes viscous mixture of water, mud, gravel along with woody debris. This transfer large boulders of landform soil.

2. Floodwater dominated: Water will spill in the alluvial fan in the form of thin sheets. This can transfer fine particles of landform soil.

What are polygenic traits controlled by
STALIN [3.7K]

Polygenic traits are those traits that are controlled by more than one gene. Such traits may even be controlled by genes located on entirely different chromosomes. Human height, eye and hair color are examples of polygenic traits. Skin color is another polygenic trait for humans and a variety of other animals

Andreyy89

Answer:

Genetic variation that alter gene activity or protein function can introduce different traits in an organism. If trait is advantageous and helps the individual survive and reproduce, the genetic variation is more likely to be passed to the next generation (a process known as natural selection).
