Choose a specific site for further study where eutrophication is a problem (such as Chesapeake Bay, the Baltic Sea, or the Gulf

of Mexico). List some sources of nitrogen and/or phosphorous to the water body and describe some of the ecological problems due to eutrophication at this specific site.

Explanation:

Due to the commercial farming activities in the MidWest, fertilizers and pesticides are usually washed away by precipitation and drain into the Gulf of Mexico. These elements (mainly nitrogen and phosphorus) offer much nutrients for algae causing them to thrive into algae blooms. Bacteria then find ‘fodder’ in dead algae breaking them down for energy sources. The bacteria, mostly aerobic, take up most of the oxygen from the water as they thrive. This makes the waters of the Gulf hypoxic hence the other marine organisms such as fishes cannot thrive. Actually, the ecosystem dies and the region is recognized as a' dead zone'.

Answer:

Sources of nitrogen and phosphorous in Chesapeake Bay include runoff from agriculture, air pollution from vehicles and power plants, and wastewater from sewage and industry. Ecological problems resulting from the eutrophication include blocking of sunlight to aquatic grasses, stressing fish and shellfish by depleting oxygen, and rising pH, which further stresses fish and makes them susceptible to parasites.

What would happen if one of the chromosomes in a homologous pair failed to separate from its homologue at the end of metaphase I
Zepler [3.9K]

The correct answer is: daughter cells will have abnormal chromosome numbers and this condition is called aneuploidy.

Nondisjunction is the failure of homologous chromosomes (or sister chromatids) to separate during the process of cell division and consequently lead to aneuploidy. There are three forms of nondisjunction:  

• Nondisjunction in meiosis I (pair of homologous chromosomes unable to separate in meiosis I),  

• Nondisjunction in meiosis I (sister chromatids unable to separate during meiosis II), and

•  Nondisjunction in mitosis (failure of sister chromatids to separate during mitosis)

Why are marshmellows scientificlly the best tasting thing ever?
yKpoI14uk [10]
Marshmallows are probably so delicious because of several important factors. They are fluffy, soft, and oh-so sweet. They melt in your mouth and taste absolutely heavenly with chocolate and graham crackers. Or throw a couple in your hot chocolate. There's no wrong way to eat them and they're pretty cheap too.

Which of these provides the best evidence for the plate tectonic theory? (5 points)
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

Seafloor spreading at the mid-ocean ridge provides the mechanism for tectonic plate movement. The Earth's mantle moves through convection, showing that tectonic plates are able to glide. The location of the plates was determined by locating their boundaries, using data on the Earth's magnetic field.
