What TWO factors do scientists track and monitor in all types of freshwater ecosystem?

Biology
1 answer:
ivolga24 [154]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

A: light availability

B: nutrients

Explanation:

Both nutrients and light availability affect the primary productivity of the freshwater ecosystem, therefore, scientists study both factors to track associated changes. This is because photosynthesis is driven by sunlight and nutrients availability. It is suggested that the abundance of autotrophs (e.g. phytoplanktons) in an aquatic ecosystem increases as light and nutrients availability increase. Thus, there will be more food available for secondary and tertiary consumers to feed upon. Resultantly, the aquatic environment will turn a biodiversity hotspot where many species of living organisms start dwelling. Thus, scientists mainly ecologists would focus on these two parameters at first that lead to consideration of other parameters.

What is created from mitosis in animals?
lapo4ka [179]
A. two identical nuclei
<span>Mitosis, simply put, is the division of the nucleus of a cell. It is the phase in the cycle of a cell in which the two chromosomes in a cell divide and separate in a nucleus of their own. These chromosomes are completely identical. As a result of mitosis, two identical cells are formed and are known as daughter cells. This process copies and transfers DNA into both the cells that are formed as a result of Mitosis.</span>

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

The phylogenetic graph uses several types of variables to be formed, while other models use only one type of variable.

Explanation:

To create a phylogenetic chart, matrices with data on the studied species are used. These data are composed of morphological, chemical and / or genetic information that allow a detailed investigation about the ancestry of each species, in addition to allowing the correct grouping based on this ancestry and evolution.

A phylogenetic graph is different from other molecular models due to the number of data considered by it, since other models, such as the molecular clock, for example, only consider genetic based information.
