It has been found that the rainforests are accountable for about one-third, that is, 28 percent of the oxygen of the Earth, however, the majority of the oxygen, that is, about 70 percent in the atmosphere is generated by the marine plants. The left-over two percent of the oxygen comes from other sources.  

The majority of the oxygen comes from the tiny plants in the ocean known as phytoplankton, which lives near the surface of the water and drifts with the currents. Similarly to plants, they perform the process of photosynthesis, that is, they utilize carbon dioxide and sunlight to prepare food, oxygen is the by-product of photosynthesis.  

However, the concentration of the dissolved oxygen, which the water can hold relies on the salinity and temperature of the water. The cold water can withhold more oxygen in comparison to warm water and fresh water can hold more oxygen in comparison to salt water. So, the warmer and saltier the water is, the less will be the oxygen dissolved in it.

Populations of some species of fish, insects, and crustaceans consist of both sexually and obligately asexually reproducing indi
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

Entirely asexual populations of animals are rare.

The cost of sexual reproduction is considered to be twice that of asexual reproduction, because sexual females produce ≈ 50% male offspring, and males typically contribute only their genes to reproduction (Maynard Smith, 1978). Following this logic, asexual reproduction should dominate unless there is greater than a two-fold advantage to sexual reproduction.

B) Factors that might maintain a given mode of reproduction might include access or availability of mates, disease, or parasites. For example, if diseases and parasites have a major effect on the population, the Red Queen hypothesis suggests that sexual reproduction would be favored

C) Sexual selection is thought to be one way by which sexual reproduction is maintained, because only fit males are able to mate. In an environment free from enemies, asexual reproduction would be favored, but are unlikely to persist over evolutionary time, because when the environment changes they will have much less ability to adapt (owing to a lack of novel genetic variation that would be provided by segregation and recombination in a sexual population).

On a hike through the forest, you notice a population of 100 flowering plants that all look identical (phenotypic clones), and t
givi [52]

Answer:

1a. False

1b. False

Explanation:

They are genetic clones which make them identical so there is no difference in phenotype which is the key mechanism for evolution to occur through natural selection.

- since they are of one phenotype(genetically identical) genetic drift can not occur. For genetic drift to occur, there must be a change in the frequency of one allele within a population over a period of time and this genetic variation must occur randomly for a genetic drift to occur.
