Answer:

More sunlight is available at the surface of ocean to carry out photosynthesis.

Explanation:

Phytoplankton are autotrophic organisms and use sunlight to carry out the process of photosynthesis. Sunlight is required for photosynthesis to occur. More sunlight is available at the surface of ocean. Availability of sunlight reduces with increasing depth of water due to presence of suspended particles in water. To obtain maximum sunlight to support photosynthesis, phytoplankton are found near the surface of ocean water.

Which definition correctly describes a haploid cell during meiosis?
Mariulka [41]
A haploid cell during meiosis means that a cell has half the number of chromosomes as the daughter cell however, when gametic fertilization happens the parent cell will then be re-established. Meiosis is another type or way of cell division wherein one homologous chromosome is segregated into another and new gamete. There are actually two successive nuclear division that is bound to happen in each haploid cell, that is Meiosis I and Meiosis II. Meiosis was then known as reduction or cell division.
