Shoreline environments are highly variable, both in space and time. Organisms occupying the shoreline have adapted to a certain degree of natural variation in habitat and environmental conditions. For example, the breaching of normally closed estuaries to the sea during rough/high seas and high rainfall allows juvenile fish to enter the ocean and for adult fish to enter the estuary to spawn. 
Protective structures to prevent sand loss or counteract high tides may act to disrupt this natural variation in habitat and environment. On the other hand, it must be acknowledged that due to climate change, shoreline environments are experiencing more frequent extreme conditions, such as storms and higher sea levels. Protective structures could act to provide slightly more stable environmental conditions under which certain organisms can survive.

stellarik [79]

Answer:

The correct answers are "order; no; order; plant species A and plant species B".

Explanation:

Species are categorized in different taxonomic ranks according to physical and genetic features that establish the degree of similarity between species.  For instance, two species that are in the same order have a more recent common ancestor than two species that have the same class. Also, two species that have the same genus share the other taxonomic ranks that are in an upper section. In this case, two plants in the same family are in the same order (the next taxonomic rank) however, two plants that are in the same order not necessary are in the same family.

<span>Anything in an organism's environment that causes it to react is called a STIMULUS. A stimulus is defined as an impulse that evokes a specific functional response from an organism. In living organisms, stimulus can occur both internally and externally. Stimulus generate appropriate response in living organisms. Thus, the correct option is C.</span>

Suppose that in goats, an independently sorting autosomal allele that produces a bearded phenotype is dominant in males and rece
Alika [10]
B+ Bb Ww male × B+ Bb Ww female Because beardedness and coat color independently assort, we can treat them independently. The difference between this cross and a dihybrid cross is that the bearded allele B b is dominant in males and recessive in females. So we deal with male and female progeny separately. For each sex, then, we should get a typical dihybrid ratio. In males, the dominant phenotype is bearded, so we should get ¾ bearded, ¼ beardless. In females the dominant phenotype is beardless, so we should get ¾ beardless and ¼ bearded. Each sex will have ¾ black and ¼ white coats.
