One is drift netting. These nets are indiscriminate and also catch, injure and kill fishes that are not intended to be caught. This, therefore, greatly affects the marine ecosystem. 

Second is over-fishing. This reduces the fish population to a point where they are unable to regenerate and hence predisposes/ condemning them to extinction   

Third is the destruction of marine ecosystem, deliberately, to clear an obstacle or pave the way for fishing lines. This damages the habits hence affecting the ecosystem from primary producers and up the food chain.

The existence of introns in mRNA-encoding genes seems to be a problem because so much cellular energy goes into splicing them ou
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

In normal conditions, introns serve following functions in the body of an organism:

1) They contain genes of miRNA which are known as Mirtrons, reverse transcriptase, endonucleases, transposase etc.

2) It is because of presence of introns that alternative splicing of mRNA is possible. The sex determination in drosophila is based on alternative splicing.

Apart from this, alternative splicing can be useful and beneficial in an unforeseen situation such as an environmental problem which is faced by the organism for the first time.

Explanation:

Alternative splicing is an important mechanism because with the help of alternative splicing different type of proteins can be synthesized from the same pre mRNA transcript. In case suddenly the surrounding environment of an organism is changed and the environmental conditions have become extremely harsh due to which organism's life is at stake, in such situation organism may make a different type of protein through alternative splicing which can help the organism in survival.  

Default splicing in Drosophila leads to the development of male off-spring while female off-spring is produced as a result of alternative splicing.

Dogs are often purposely bred to assure certain desirable traits. What is this type of selective breeding?
siniylev [52]

Artificial selection is the type of selective breeding.

Selective breeding is process of breeding parents with distinct characteristics to produce offspring with more desirable characteristics.

Most of the time the breed of dogs were formerly selected for particular purposes, such as hunting or guarding which needs strong physical endurance. Hence, Selective breeding is evolved by human selection. For example racehorses, having particular traits are desirable in different breeds of dogs that compete in dog shows. Artificial selection, is selective breeding that is imposed by an selective process, in order to get the phenotype of desirable features.
