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.

What do you think is the difference between direct effect and indirect effect?
Shalnov [3]

Answer: In direct effect, the person is directly affected by the source. For example, if a volcanic eruption occurs and lava flows outward, the area surrounding the volcano - including human establishments and organisms that reside there - would be affected (DIRECTLY); however, we observe that acid rain forms after this. This is because the sulfurous gases from the eruption mix with water vapor in the atmosphere. Another indirect effect of this is actually positive - radiation reflection. When a volcano eruptions, it releases gases like sulfur dioxide. Sulfur dioxide would react with other substances and produce aerosol particles. Aerosols can have huge impacts on our climate as they reflect light. This is evident when Mount Pinatubo erupted in 1991, and as a consequent, the aerosols that were produced from its gases cooled the area for 4 years.

How is the genetic graph different from natural selection
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

Both natural selection and genetic drift are mechanisms for evolution (they both change allele frequencies over time). The key distinction is that in genetic drift allele frequencies change by chance, whereas in natural selection allele frequencies change by differential reproductive success.

As observed in labrador retriever coat colors in recessive epistasis, b locus regulates pigment production while e locus regulat
Rus_ich [418]
If your choices are the following (see attachment), then the answer is E gene.
It is stated that hypostatic gene<span> is one whose phenotype is altered by the expression of an allele at a separate locus, in an epistasis event. So the allele altering the espistatis event is the E gene.</span>
