1 answer:

8 0

Thermocline - a steep temperature gradient in a body of water, that is marked by a layer above and below at which the water is at different temperatures.

halocline - a subtype of chemocline caused by a strong, vertical salinity gradient within a body of water.

pycnocline - a layer in an ocean or other body of water in which water density increases rapidly with depth.

On a phylogenetic tree, which term refers to lineages that diverged from the same place?

Elden [556K]

Answer:

sister taxa

Explanation:

Groups departing from the same evolutionary node are called sister taxa and are evolutionarily closer to each other than groups departing from another node. Thus, we can say that the sister taxa are evolutionarily closer (related) to each other than to the taxa that did not diverge from the same place. Similarly we can say that taxa that did not diverge from the same place, cannot be called sister taxa and are distant evolutionary.

inn [45]

The question is incomplete, I included an attachment that completes the question as well as show the options to be chosen from.

Answer: YES, SUPPORTED

Explanation: When we talk of Osmoconformers, we are talking of the organisms that live in the marine habitat.

These Osmoconformers have the tendency of maintaining their internal fluid isotonic that is isotonic to their external environment in church they live. They have an osmotic pressure that is equal to the osmotic pressure of their surrounding environment.

In the table provided in the attachment section,it clearly stated as we can see the increase in osmolarity of water,the haemolymph osmolarity increase in order to maintain isotonic realtion so that,there will be no much exosmosis (osmosis).
