In terms of adaptation, what advantage does sexual reproduction provide for species
KengaRu [80]
Unlike other ways of reproduction, sexual reproduction provides variation through inheriting various genes. This variation is essential for adaptation as it would not just create a copy of the original life form, but rather a different unique life form that could adapt to something, and then have it's own offspring with the adapted trait.

What is the major cause of phytoplankton blooms in the Gulf of Mexico?
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

Excessive nutrients from fertilizer run off.  

Explanation:

Scientists have suspected that phytoplankton blooms might be connected to agricultural run-off. They got some evidence from a recent study by comparing the timing of irrigation along the west coast of Mexico and phytoplankton blooms in Mexico’s Sea of Cortez. During the comparison, they had found a close correlation. Phytoplankton blooms occurred in the Sea of Cortez shortly after the irrigation. This happened because of carried fertilizers after irrigation and other agricultural run-offs into the sea.

The bloom detected in the Gulf of Mexico on December 13 might be similarly linked to agricultural run-off.

Which phase of a population growth curve is characterized by a slowing of population growth as the carrying capacity is being re
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

Lag Phase

Explanation:

In logistic growth, lag phase is characterized by a slowing population growth because at that moment the cells are metabolically active and  are only increasing in cell size.

Let consider a bacterial growth during it lag phase. In the lag phase, bacteria adapt themselves to growth conditions, that period of time, they are still maturing and are yet to divide.

As such, the phase of a population growth curve is characterized by a slowing of population growth as the carrying capacity is being reached is known as Lag Phase.

Why is it important to be aware of the observable signs of an eruption
Oksana_A [137]
Monitoring water changes can provide clues about the activity of a volcano. A sudden change could predict a volcanic eruption. Hydrologists also identify the paths that water takes as it flows down a volcano's side. Understanding how water flows can help us understand how lava might flow.
