B) to make sure you have a record of the changes in turbidity in the pond. C) to make sure that the dissolved oxygen levels in the pond are not too high.

Answer: D) to make sure that the pond is safe for fish and other members of the ecosystem.

Explanation:

The phosphate is a chief ingredient of fertilizers used for the growth of crops in an agricultural field. The phosphate and other minerals are added to the neighboring water bodies by the surface runoff. The accumulation of such minerals will promote the process of eutrophication. Eutrophication refers to the increase in growth of plants and algae on surface of water due to excess increase in inorganic minerals like phosphates in the water. This process will decrease the concentration of oxygen in the water body and will result in mortality of aquatic animals.

According to the given situation, the levels of phosphates in the local water supply should be low so that eutrophication does not occur. This can be evident by observing the health of the fish and other aquatic animals of the ecosystem.

List five examples of mutations. Then classify each as harmful, helpful and neutral and explain your reasoning.
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

1) sickle cell anemia: Sickle cell anemia is caused due to a point mutation by which a change in the nucleotide causes the code for producing the amino acid valine instead of the amino acid glutamic acid. It is a harmful mutation.

2) Klinefelter’s Calicos: Better known as the Klinefelter’s Syndrome, Klinefelter’s Calicos is a type of genetic mutation in which the person has the pattern of XXY for sex chromosomes i.e the person has an extra X chromosome. It is a harmful mutation.

3) Colour blindness: It is a sex linked mutation caused by two genes coding for the sight of red and green colour on the X chromosome. It is a harmful mutation.

4) Lactase persistence: A mutation allowed the humans to produce lactase enzyme as a result of breast feeding. This is an example of beneficial mutation.

5) HIV resistance: A 32 base pair sequence change in CCR5 helps humans to get resistant against HIV. it is a beneficial mutation.

What is archaebacteria?
Tanzania [10]
<span>microorganisms that are similar to bacteria in size and simplicity of structure but radically different in molecular organization. They are now believed to constitute an ancient intermediate group between the bacteria and eukaryotes.

</span>FULL ANSWER<span>Archaebacteria, or archaeans, are single-celled organisms. Although they were first classified with bacteria, they have since earned their own category. While they have a simple structure much like bacteria, there are many differences. They have a unique type of rRNA that sets them apart from their fellow prokaryotes. Furthermore, they do not cause sickness in people.Archaebacteria are considered extremophiles because they live in a variety of harsh environments and can tolerate extreme conditions such as, acidity and salinity. They are divided into three main groups: crenarchaeota, euryarchaeota and korarchaeota.Crenarchaeota consist of hyperthermophiles and thermoacidophiles that thrive in very hot, cold or acidic environments. Euryarchaeota consist of halophiels and methanogens that thrive in salty and oxygen-free environments. For example, euyarchaeota often live inside in the guts of animals. Compared to other the other groups of archaebacteria, less is known about korarchaeota. Scientists do konw that they are thermophilic and live in hot springs.</span>
