The answer is; Formation of sea ice increases the salinity of the oceans

When ice form in water, this water is ‘osmotically isolated’ (in solid form) hence making liquid water become lesser in quantity than before. Since the number of dissolved salts remain more or less the same and the liquid water in which it is dissolved has reduced, then the water becomes more concentrated (because they are now more ppm of salts in each cubic amount of the water).

Are earthquakes predictable? Explain your answer.

No. Scientists have never predicted a earthquake. We do not know how, and we do not expect to know how any time in the foreseeable future.

How specifies that are separated for a river, rocks, mountains, forest ; can at some point not being able to interbreed anymore

Allushta [10]

Answer:

Species separated by a physical barrier for a long time, suffer allopatric speciation, so they can not interbreed anymore.

Explanation:

Allopatric speciation consists of the geographic separation of a continuous genetic background giving place to two or more new geographically isolated populations. These separations might be due to migration, extinction of geographically intermediate populations, or geological events. In this speciation, some barriers impede genetic interchange, or genetic flow, as the two new populations that are separated can not get together and mate anymore. These barriers might be geographical or ecological.

Vicariance is the geographical separation of an original population into two or more new groups. Discontinuities in the physical environment like rivers, mountains, water, etc., are physical barriers that impede genetic flow between the separated groups.

The process of allopatric speciation involves different steps:

The emergence of the barrier.
Interruption in the genetic interchange
The occurrence of new mutations and their accumulation in time in each population. Slow and gradual differentiation.
Genetic divergence by natural selection and reproductive isolation makes it impossible for the two groups to mate even if the barrier disappears.
Prezigotic isolation mechanisms favored by selection once occurs a secondary contact between the new species in formation.

Suppose an experimenter becomes proficient with a technique that allows her to move DNA sequences within a prokaryotic genome.

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

D) The structural genes will be transcribed continuously.

Explanation:

Suppose an experimenter becomes proficient with a technique that allows her to move DNA sequences within a prokaryotic genome. If she moves the operator to the far end of the operon, past the transacetylase (lacA) gene, the structural genes will be transcribed continuously.

A structural gene is a gene that codes for any RNA or protein product other than a regulatory factor (i.e. regulatory protein).
