Answer:

option c punctuated equilibrium

Explanation:

Punctuated equilibrium occurs in a process whereby evolutionary changes occurs in some organisms in a rapid burst of time rather the conceived gradual changes that occurs over a long period of time. this burst of time might be in about 500,000 years. It is assumed that the organism has maintained/lives in stasis for a long period without a need for change, but then, once the change takes place (most of the time, due to an environmental factor), the organism quickly adapts to its new environment with this new adaptation.

What affects algal growth with increasing depth in the ocean?
andrew-mc [135]
The answer is light.

One of the factors that affect photosynthesis is light. Without light, the photosynthetic rate is reduced or even stopped which consequently affect algal growth. With increasing depth in the ocean, there is less sunlight present. Still, a<span>lgae have accessory photosynthetic plastids other than the chloroplasts</span><span> that can absorb different light in greater ocean depths. This helps them to maximum use sunlight in such conditions. But, in the end, at some particular depth, they would not be able to survive.</span>
