Sea floor sediment provide an invaluable key to past climate change. Finely varved sediments from areas of rapid deposition provide a high-resolution record of past climate variation, and volcanic ash layers contribute to the comprehensive study of climate change on relatively short timescales. Oceanographers like to say that we know more about the dark side of the Moon than we do about the oceans. That statement is doubly true of the seafloor. Although modern technology has allowed us to learn more about the seafloor, vast regions remain unexplored. Scuba divers can only dive to about 40 meters and they cannot stay down there for very long. Although this is good for researching the organisms and ecosystems very near a coast, most oceanic research requires accessing greater depths.
A punnet square predict the traits of offspring genetic crosses and test crosses.
<u>Explanation:</u>
In pea plants, the traits or characteristics inheritance is been observed and studies by Gregor Mendel. A model was proposed by him, in which the characteristics or traits are specified from genes. Genes can take different alleles or versions. The appearance of an organism can be determined by the dominant alleles. These hides the characteristics of recessive alleles.
The law of segregation is, When gametes are made by an organism the copy of one gene is passed to each gametes. The combinations of allele which is genotype, and the phenotypes which are the characteristics that are observable can be predicted by a Punnett square. This is done by genetic crosses.
In order to predict whether the organism is heterozygous or homozygous can be determined by a test crosses.
metals (left side of periodic table) become positive ions so calcium would be the answer
