A possible reason for the transition of algae from unicellularity
to multicellularity would be the evolution of multicellularity allowed algae to
develop traits that keep them close to the land and thus a source of nutrients.
The correct answer between all the choices given is the last choice. I
am hoping that this answer has satisfied your query and it will be able to help
you in your endeavor, and if you would like, feel free to ask another question.
Answer:The predicted population of brain coral in a reef covering 120m² is ; ≈ 40
First step : Calculate the value of the default population density
Population density = population size (dive 1) / total area
= 4 / 12 = 0.33
Total area ;
∑ Area of each reef quadrant = length * width = 2 * 2 = 4m²
∴ Total area = 4 + 4 + 4 = 12m².
Final step : Determine the value of the predicted population of brain coral
Population density = ( predicted population ) / predicted area
0.33 = ( pp ) / 120m²
∴ Predicted population ( pp ) = 0.33 * 120
= 39.6 ≈ 40 brain corals
Hence we can conclude that the predicted population of brain coral is 40
