<u>Answer:</u>
- few nutrients
- high pressure
- low temperatures
<u>Explanation:</u>
1. Few nutrients: open-ocean zone is located way far from the land, which is the main source of the essential nutrients.
2. High pressure: pressure increases by 1 atmosphere for every 10 meters increase in depth.
3. Ample sunlight: a large fraction of the sunlight is reflected back to the atmosphere from the sea surface.
4. Varying salinity: below the thermocline, the water is isolated from the atmosphere so the salinity remains stable over the year.
5. Low temperatures: the temperature of open-ocean zone ranges from a low of -2°C to an average of 17°C.
Thats false because a plant can adapt too lack of water or temperature
<span>Both somatic and germinal mutations are contributors of evolution. Somatic mutations occur within tissues of individuals that give the said individual differing traits and characteristics. Germinal mutations occur in reproductive cells that can be passed on to offspring, altering their traits and characteristics.</span>
Answer: D.
Explanation: Structural adaptations are physical features of an organism like the bill on a bird or the fur on a bear. Other adaptations are behavioral. Behavioral adaptations are the things organisms do to survive. For example, bird calls and migration are behavioral adaptations.
