The system of scientific naming or nomenclature is use to identify an organisms worldwide. The system of naming of an organism is introduced by Carolus Linnaeus. The scientific name of any organism is written by its genus name and species name. This is called binomial system of naming. While writing the scientific name of an organism, the name of the genus written first with a capital letter and the name of the species is written second with a small letter. When typed scientific name is in italics and when it is hand written the genus name and the species are to be underlined separately.
In the given example, the scientific name of orange-barred sulfur butterfly is <em>Phoebis philea</em>. <em>Phoebis</em> is its genus name and <em>philea</em> is the species name.
Answer:
All of those answer are correct.
Correct question: A fast swimming strong body fish such as a <u>salmon</u> which is adapted to clear fast and strong water current would most likely be found in which aquatic zone? Options in the attached file
Answer:
Source of a river zone
Explanation:
The fishes body is directly correlated with their environment and the pressures they receive from it. Those animals that are used to living in clear waters, with fast currents must be very strong, must have a hydrodynamic torpedo-like body and big and strong caudal fin to propel against the currents. These animals are used to living in water masses such as the source of a river zone.
Rivers belong to lotic environments, characterized by constant moving water.
- Profundal zone: Sunlight can not reach this zone, so there are no plants. The Water movement is very limited, and in most cases, water is not clear.
- Littoral zone: Is the transition zone, near the shore, where the light easily reaches the bottom. Usually, there is plenty of vegetation fixated to the bottom.
- Wetland zone: In general these are calm water, very rich in diversity, and a proper breeding area for a wide variety of fish.
- Source of a River zone: Rivers flow from higher to lower areas. They originate at the top of the mountains and fastly descend to finally end in a lake or in the sea.
Some species of salmons characterize by living in the sea during sexual maturity, but whenever they need to breed, they go back to the area where they were born. This is in sweet water. They swim in the river until they reach the place where they are going to oviposit. In order to do this, they need to swim against the current. Many times, females die trying to reach this special place.
