This means that her son is small compared to other 6 month old children.

A percentile is a measure between 0 and 100 that compares children of similar age in order to know if a particular child is growing well. The higher the percentile number, the bigger the child is compared to other children of same age. If a child is in the 50th percentile for height, it means the child is in the middle of the pack.

<em>Then the bacteria have insulin genes, the bacteria will be cloned to make multiple colonies of same bacteria. This phase called cloning. </em>

Know the differences between the littoral zone and the benthic zone
Olin [163]

Answer:

Littoral Zone:

The littoral zone or nearshore is the part of a sea, lake, or river that is close to the shore. In coastal environments, the littoral zone extends from the high water mark, which is rarely inundated, to shoreline areas that are permanently submerged. The littoral zone always includes this intertidal zone, and the terms are often used interchangeably. However, the meaning of littoral zone can extend well beyond the intertidal zone.

Benthic Zone:

The benthic zone is the ecological region at the lowest level of a body of water such as an ocean, lake, or stream, including the sediment surface and some sub-surface layers. Organisms living in this zone are called benthos and include microorganisms (e.g., bacteria and fungi) as well as larger invertebrates, such as crustaceans and polychaetes. Organisms here generally live in close relationship with the substrate and many are permanently attached to the bottom. The benthic boundary layer, which includes the bottom layer of water and the uppermost layer of sediment directly influenced by the overlying water, is an integral part of the benthic zone, as it greatly influences the biological activity that takes place there. Examples of contact soil layers include sand bottoms, rocky outcrops, coral, and bay mud.
