In the ocean how does water temperature change as depth increases

Biology

When the upper water layers warm in the summer months, they become separated from deep water by a transition zone known as a thermocline. In a thermocline, the temperature decreases rapidly with small increases in depth. This phenomenon linking temperature change with depth is called temperature stratification.

Answer:

As we move down in the ocean, the temperature decreases. The sunlight reaches the upper surface of water and heats it.The temperature changes as the depth of the ocean increase.

The reason is sunlight does not reaches the lower part of the ocean. The density is also keeps on increasing as we move down and is maximum at 4 degree Celsius.The temperature of the water also depends on the season and climate.

Bear pigmentation is subject to epistasis of the B alleles by the d alleles. B (black) is dominant over b (brown). D is dominant
White raven [17]

Answer:

9/16 black, 3/16 brown, 4/16 white

Explanation:

             BD         Bd          bD         bd

BD     BBDD      BBDd     BbDD     BbDd

Bd      BBDd      BBdd     BbDd      Bbdd

bD      BbDD     BbDd      bbDD     bbDd

bd       BbDd    Bbdd       bbDd     bbdd

A punnet square can be described as a diagram which is made to predict the genotype as well as the phenotypes of the offsprings of a cross.

To study the epistatis nature of the pigmentation in bear, a punnet square was made and the results of the punnet square are shown above.

The results of the punnet square show that the cross between two bears will have the chances of producing 9/16 black bears, 3/16 brown bears and 4/16 white bears.

How do mutations contribute to genetic variation?
ioda

List and explain the 3 paths natural selection can take.
evablogger [386]

Answer:

1. Stabilizing Selection  

2. Directional Selection  

3. Disruptive Selection  

Explanation:

Stabilizing Selection  

This type of natural selection occurs when there are selective pressures working against two extremes of a trait and therefore the intermediate or “middle” trait is selected for. If we look at a distribution of traits in the population, it is noticeable that a standard distribution is followed:

Example:  For a plant, the plants that are very tall are exposed to more wind and are at risk of being blown over. The plants that are very short fail to get enough sunlight to prosper. Therefore, the plants that are a middle height between the two get both enough sunlight and protection from the wind.

Directional Selection  

This type of natural selection occurs when selective pressures are working in favour of one extreme of a trait. Therefore when looking at a distribution of traits in a population, a graph tends to lean more to one side:

Example: Giraffes with the longest necks are able to reach more leaves to each. Selective pressures will work in the advantage of the longer neck giraffes and therefore the distribution of the trait within the population will shift towards the longer neck trait.

Disruptive Selection  

This type of natural selection occurs when selective pressures are working in favour of the two extremes and against the intermediate trait. This type of selection is not as common. When looking at a trait distribution, there are two higher peaks on both ends with a minimum in the middle as such:

Example: An area that has black, white and grey bunnies contains both black and white rocks. Both the traits for white and black will be favored by natural selection since they both prove useful for camouflage. The intermediate trait of grey does not prove as useful and therefore selective pressures act against the trait.
