50% of offspring will have brown eyes

Explanation:

A heterozygous individual will have the genotype Rr while an individual who is homozygous recessive will have the genotype rr. A cross between the two will result in offspring with phenotype Rr and rr in the ratio of 1 : 1. This can be observed from the Punnet square attached. The same is the case for the phenotype. The ration of brown eyes to red eyes will be approximately 1 : 1

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

Lionfish are rapidly consuming many smaller fish species along the coast at depths up to 90 meters.

Explanation:

Lionfish is an invasive species that has been successfully established in the Atlantic Ocean. It is a tropical species that lives mostly in reefs and rocks that provide protection. It inhabits waters from the coast to 50 meters deep.

Because of its high densities in the Atlantic, Lionfish is a promoter of ecological, economic, socio-cultural consequences. They only have a few predators and consume a high diversity of prey items. They produce an ecological imbalance in the trophic chains of the marine ecosystem. When competing with native piscivores, they imbalance the dynamics of fish communities in coral reefs and mangroves. The density of young and herbivores fishes has decreased because of their predation by the lionfish. By predating on algae eating fishes, they provoke a sharp increase in algae populations, which produces serious damages in the coral reefs, enhancing their mortality. The main consequences of these damages are marine biodiversity loss, water quality decrease, ecosystem recovery difficulty, and impacts on food provisioning for many other ocean species.

Streams that flow beneath melting glaciers leave long ridges of layered sediments, known as

Ivenika [448]

Streams that flow beneath melting glaciers leave long ridges of layered sediments, known as Esker. Eskers are formed within ice-walled tunnels by streams which flowed within and under glaciers. They tended to form around the time of the glacial maximum when the glacier was slow and sluggish and after the retaining ice walls melted away, stream deposits remained as long winding ridges.
