-BARSIC- [3]

Answer/Explanation:

Essential nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, at specific moderate level are needed for the overall functionality of the aquatic ecosystem. However, when excess of these elements infiltrates the aquatic ecosystem, the nutrient overload causes a surge in the growth of aquatic plant. For example, algal bloom. These increased growth of aquatic plant further takes up space and oxygen, prevents sunlight and later leads to what is known as "dead zone". It is a condition of an ecosystem having little or no biological activity. Aquatic life is impacted negatively when this occurs.

These are the changes that occurs as a result of nutrient loading.

How can nuclei accommodateall of our genetic material<br> (3,000,000,000 base pairs)?
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

By forming chromatin and in the condensed form of chromosomes

Explanation:

The human genome contains around 3 billion base pairs which are located in the nucleus of all cells. In order to accomodate such large genomic information, DNA is maximally supercoiled during mitosis and meiosis processes to form condensed structures called chromosomes. Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes per somatic cell. The supercoiling process is assisted by a family of proteins called histones, which interact with DNA and regulate its conformation. The complex between DNA and histones within the nucleus is called chromatin. When chromatin is supercoiled it form chromosomes (in eukaryotic cells).
