The lack of upwelling during an El Nino period results in which of the following

Biology
1 answer:
sergey [27]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

<u>Fish migration to other parts of the ocean</u> results when there is a lack of upwelling during an El Nino period.

Explanation:

During an El Nino period, the trade winds blow towards the east and keep eastern Pacific Ocean warmer.  

Ocean upwelling due to trade wind brings nutrient-rich cool and dense water to the ocean’s surface. Upwelling makes the surface ocean water fertile for a healthy marine life.

El Nino not only affects the ocean’s surface water temperature but also the strength and speed of the ocean currents, all of which affects marine life.

During El Nino Southern Oscillation when there is a warm phase, the trade wind becomes weak and warm water is pushed into the eastern Pacific Ocean.

Due to weaker trade winds, upwelling of ocean waters is reduced and the nutrient-rich waters remain in the deep and far from the coastal areas.

This makes the fishes like anchovies to migrate from the surface waters to deep and far ocean areas in search of nutrients.

musickatia [10]

Answer:

D. Offspring only receive one version of their parents' traits.

Explanation:

To be specific, they receive on version of each parent. Traits are segregated during gamete formation, where one version of the trait comes from one parent, and the other version of that same trait comes from the other parent. When they join during fertilization, a new organism is made through the combination of the traits. However, the trait that will be expressed, according to Mendel, would be the one that is dominant.
