Answer:

Decades of destructive fishing has resulted in the precipitous decline of key fish stocks such as bluefin tuna and Grand Banks cod, as well as collateral impacts to other marine life. Hundreds of thousands of marine mammals, seabirds, and sea turtles are captured each year, alongside tens of millions of sharks.

It is the same as creating more pests or setting up dominant species which upset the ecological food pyramid leading to decimation of trophic levels or predators and energy cycling. Fishes feed on microscopic algae and animals the primary base of the food chain in water, if they are not checked they will choke the rivers and oceans causing toxic waters. Fish feed to contain them, in the process they grow and increase in numbers but their population is checked by bigger fishes and so on till it reaches a top predator which is usually a large animal.

MRNA: AUG AAU UUA GCG ACA
polypeptides: Met or start, Aan, Leu, Ala, Thr
1. The type of mutation that occurred in this strand of DNA is deletion. This may have happened because a small part of the DNA sequence was lost when broken ends were rejoined when the DNA was being repaired.
2. It is not likely that these mutated genes could produce a working protein because the polypeptides were completely changed, which would cause the protein to not work properly.
3. When a seed first absorbs water, it begins to grow. The mutation could cause the plant to be unable to absorb water. Therefore, the plant would be unable to germinate.

How does water move from roots to leaves

LenKa [72]

Answer:

Xylem

Explanation:

Water moves from the roots to the leaves through tissue called the xylem, in a process called transpiration. As water evaporates out of the leaf, more water is 'pulled upwards' to replace what has been lost.

Which of the following is an example of an adaptation that allows similar species to live in the same environment?

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

B. Both mussels and barnacles live in the tidal ecosystems.

Explanation:

Mussels are small bivalve molluscs that are adapted to both marine and freshwater ecosystems. Barnacles, on the other hand, are arthropods that are adapted to marine ecosystems. However, both are adapted to shallow and tidal zones.

Both organisms are small and have the capacity to live in tidal ecosystems where they thrive and play important ecological roles. For instance, barnacles are filtering organisms, which is extremely important for the food chain, and mussels filter out significant amounts of excess nutrients and metals, that is, they make the water more suitable and clean for organisms to live.

As they are both adapted to tidal ecosystems, this would be an example of an adaptation that allows similar species, in this case mussels and barnacles, to live in the same environment.
