Answer:

The information is not sufficient to support this asumption

Explanation:

To unequivocally determine the existence of selection acting on this trait (size), it is necessary to carry out an experiment in which the sample size should be statistically significant (N sample for each group > 50). Moreover, it is also important to include negative controls (i.e., individuals with an average size between both groups) in the experiment.

Nutrients in the deep ocean come from dead marine organisms. <br>True<br>False​
Viktor [21]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The deep parts of an ocean receive minimal or no sunlight. Hence, the survival of phototropic organisms like plants and algae is impossible or minimal here. Hence, there is a very little diversity in deep oceans. The organisms living here have to feed on dead decaying matter or on each other for survival. Mostly, the organisms living here use dead organisms as food. No other food source is available here.
