Which of the following statements about plankton or nekton is NOT correct?
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

C. All plankton are closely related to plants.

Explanation:

Plankton are organisms found in water that exist in a drifting state. They are too small or weak to swim on their own, so they let the current or tide carry them. They are usually microscopic but include larger species as well, such as some crustaceans and jellyfish.

Phytoplankton are autothrophic plankton. This means that they produce their own food. They are primary producers and closely related to plants.

Zooplankton are heterotrophic plankton, which means that they feed on other organisms. They are animals and aren't closely related to plants.

Nekton are organisms found in water that swim actively.

Based on this information, we can conclude that statement C is the only incorrect statement.

murzikaleks [220]

Genetics is a branch of biology concerned with the study of genes, genetic variation, and heredity in living organisms.[1][2][3]

The discoverer of genetics is Gregor Mendel, a late 19th-century scientist and Augustinian friar. Mendel studied "trait inheritance", patterns in the way traits are handed down from parents to offspring. He observed that organisms (pea plants) inherit traits by way of discrete "units of inheritance". This term, still used today, is a somewhat ambiguous definition of what is referred to as a gene.

Trait inheritance and molecular inheritance mechanisms of genes are still primary principles of genetics in the 21st century, but modern genetics has expanded beyond inheritance to studying the function and behavior of genes. Gene structure and function, variation, and distribution are studied within the context of the cell, the organism (e.g. dominance), and within the context of a population. Genetics has given rise to a number of subfields, including epigenetics and population genetics. Organisms studied within the broad field span the domains of life (archaea, bacteria, and eukarya).

Genetic processes work in combination with an organism's environment and experiences to influence development and behavior, often referred to as nature versus nurture. The intracellular or extracellular environment of a cell or organism may switch gene transcription on or off. A classic example is two seeds of genetically identical corn, one placed in a temperate climate and one in an arid climate. While the average height of the two corn stalks may be genetically determined to be equal, the one in the arid climate only grows to half the height of the one in the temperate climate due to lack of water and nutrients in its environment.

¿Qué importancia tiene el agua en las reacciones químicas?
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

El agua es un medio ideal para reacciones químicas, ya que puede almacenar una gran cantidad de calor, es eléctricamente neutral y tiene un pH de 7.0, lo que significa es que no es ácida ni básica. Además, el agua participa en muchas reacciones enzimáticas como agente para romper enlaces o, al eliminar de una molécula, para formar enlaces.
