Answer:

eutrophication

Explanation:

Eutrophication refers to a situation in which the aquatic environment becomes excessively enriched with nutrients. This leads to algal blooms in aquatic habitats such as lakes. These nutrients come from Fertilisers used in farming, which find their way into water bodies through run-off thereby increasing nutrient levels.

Excess nutrients causes phytoplankton to grow and reproduce at an alarming rate resulting in algal blooms. This bloom disrupts the balance in the ecosystem leading to many problems.

The algae may end up using all the oxygen in the water, causing oxygen shortage for aquatic life. Some of the algae may die, their decay may lead to further oxygen depletion. As oxygen is depleted, aquatic organisms may also begin to die.

How do the chromosomes in most cells of an organism, such as the leaf cells of a plant, compare to the chromosomes in its reprod

Lunna [17]

Answer:

Reproductive cells have half the amount of chromosomes than body cells

Explanation:

I think that you are talking about body cells when you say "most cells in an organism." If that is the case, then the reproductive cells, sperm and egg cells, have half the amount of chromosome than body cells.

For example: Human body cells have 46 chromosomes. Human reproductive cells has 23 chromosomes.

In sexual reproduction, each parent gives 1/2 of a full set of chromosomes to create the full set needed for an organism.
