Waters in the coastal ocean tend to be more productive than waters of similar depth in the open ocean. What is the main reason f

or the productivity difference?
Biology

Answer:

The coastal ocean seems to be more productive than the waters of the similar height in the open ocean due to ample availability of water, sunlight, and nutrients. The coastal ocean has more nutrients due to the process of upwelling, that is, movement of water offshore by the currents.

Also, water situated on the continental shelves is comparatively shallower and thus it is turbulent. This mixing or turbulence keeps settling the nutrients stirred up and accessible, and eventually, ample of nutrients erode off the continents themselves and so water nearby to the shore seems to be greater in nutrients.  

On the other hand, in the surface water away from the coastlines, usually, there is a lot of sunlight but no availability of adequate nutrients. Therefore, the majority of the ocean surface is not much productive.

What is NOT true about the evidence that fossils provide?
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

C. All fossils contain intact DNA that can be sequenced.

Explanation:

Fossils are the impression, trace or preserved remains of once-living thing from past thousands of years such as bones, exoskeletons, objects preserved in amber, and stone imprints of animals or microbes.

Fossils provide evidence about seevral characteristics and features of extinct organism such as evolutionary relationship between organisms and  transitional forms between groups of organisms. but all the fossil do not provide evidence about the intact DNA that can be sequenced because some fossils carry DNA rumnants which do not have the ability to get sequenced.

Hence, the correct option is C.

During which stage of the cell cycle does the cell rest, grow, and copy DNA and organelles?
atroni [7]

The cell cycle or cell-division cycle is the series of events that take place in a cell leading to its division and duplication of its DNA (DNA replication) to produce two daughter cells. In bacteria, which lack a cell nucleus, the cell cycle is divided into the B, C, and D periods. The B period extends from the end of cell division to the beginning of DNA replication.

Many traits (phenotypes), like eye color, are controlled by multiple genes. If eye color were controlled by the number of genes
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

Explanation:

If there are 5 genes, let us assume that they are in the alternative forms with 2 possible gets for each five... So we have

2 possible gametes for each five = 2 to the power of 5 = 32 gametes

Then genotypes = 3 to the power of 5 = 243

The same also for 10 genes

2 possible gametes for each 10 = 2 to the power of 10 = 1024 gametes

Then genotypes = 3 to the power of 10 = 59,049

The same also for 20 genes

2 possible gametes for each 20 = 2 to the power of 20= 1,048,576

Them genotypes = 3 to the power of 20 = 3,486,784,401
