Destruction of coral reefs would cause an imbalance in the ecosystem. Some species could be driven to extinction.
Coral reefs are the base of the most diverse marine ecosystem in the world. They are often referred to as the ‘rainforest’ of the oceans and seas. They provide shelter for cnidarians, sponges, crustaceans, and etcetera and provide hiding grounds from predators.
An allele is a variation of a gene the assumption here that by particular character you also mean gene
Answer: Sea stars move using a water vascular system. Water comes into the system via the madreporite. It is then circulated from the stone canal to the ring canal and into the radial canals.
Explanation: The radial canals carry water to the ampullae and provide suction to the tube feet.
Answer:
C. It is a male with atleast one dominant allele
Explanation:
In the given pedigree, the two normal parents of the generation I have one daughter with the attached earlobe. Since the trait is recessive, the daughter should be homozygous recessive to express the trait. The genotype of the daughter (shaded circle in generation II) is "aa". To have a daughter with "aa" genotype, both the parents should have one copy of "a" allele. So, the genotype of both parents is "Aa".
In generation II, individual A is non-shaded square. Squares represent males in a pedigree. Since its not shaded, it does not have attached earlobe. Both the parents are heterozygous dominant for attached earlobes (Aa x Aa = 1/4 AA : 1/2 Aa : 1/4 aa). The genotype of this individual may be AA or Aa.
This is referring to electronegativity!
