I'm doing this question right now.

I'm pretty sure it's C. There is more biodiversity in the high tide zone because the waves bring additional nutrients to the area.

Answer:

B. There is less biodiversity in the high tide zone because the tidal changes make survival difficult.

Explanation:

The high tide and low tide zones are located on the seashore as the ocean water merges with land.

High tide zones are usually covered with water during high ocean tide while low tide zones are always submerged in water.

There is low biodiversity in the high tide zone because the tide here changes rapidly and organisms find it difficult to adapt. Organisms that inhabit here must be welll adapted to withstand peroids of high tides.

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

The correct option is A. convergent evolution

Explanation:

The phenomenon of evolution explains how different species might have common ancestors. This phenomenon explains that genetic variations might have led to the birth of different species from a common ancestor.

Convergent evolution can be described as a type of evolution in which similar features or traits can be observed in organisms although they may not have any genetic sequence in common. For example, sharks and dolphins look similar but they have huge differences in their genomes.

A couple has three children, two without sickle cell anemia and one with sickle cell anemia. The mother has sickle cell anemia a

bezimeni [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

The sickle cell allele is recessive. Hence, in order for any child of the couple to have sickle cell anemia, such a child will have to inherit an affected allele each from the two parents. This means that both the father and the mother must have affected alleles in their genotypes. In other words, two sickle cell alleles are required for the abnormality to manifest.

Let us assume that the sickle cell allele is represented by S and the normal allele is represented by A.

Now, it is established that the mother has sickle cell anemia, her genotype would be SS. The father does not have sickle cell, his genotype can either be AA or AS.

Assuming the genotype of the father is AA:

SS x AA

AS AS AS AS

All the children would be normal in this case.

Assuming that the genotype of the father is AS

SS x AS

AS SS AS SS

50% of the children would have sickle cell while the remaining 50% would be normal.

Therefore, in order to produce children with sickle cell, the father has to be AS, otherwise, he has to be AA.

Within a population of fish, ____________ exists in the form of body color. Some fish are orange and some fish are red.

kumpel [21]

In populations of all living things, there is a variation of different traits. This is important for the process of evolution and natural selection because if the individuals in the population vary in size, shape, color or any other morphological or physiological trait, the individuals can be more or less successful because of them and therefore natural selection can filter the variations that are the fittest for that environment.
