What are 4 reasons coral reefs are disappearing?

Biology

Furkat [3]3 years ago

The reasons coral reefs are disappearing is;

  1. Rising sea levels
  2. Acidifying oceans
  3. Warmer oceans
  4. Pollution

Explanation:

Due to global warming, oceans are getting warmer. The warming of oceans means dissolve more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere the oxygen. This makes the water less oxygenated for corals. The increased amount of carbon dioxide dissolved also makes the waters slightly more acidic. Corals are very sensitive to changes in their environment and hence the coral bleaching phenomenon around the world.

Due to climate change, the levels of oceans are rising as the polar caps are melting at faster rates. This means that corals are getting submerged and therefore are not receiving the requisite amount  of sunlight needed at shallower levels. This is exacerbated by the problem of pollution. The ocean water is no longer clear enough to allow enough sunlight to penetrate in the photic zones without being largely diffused by the pollutants.

If 240 mL of water is added to 13 mL of 5.0 M NaCl solution,
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

The correct answer is 0.26 M

Explanation:

The initial concentration of NaCl solution (Ci) is 5.0 M. The initial volume of the solution (Vi) is 13 mL. The final volume is the addition of 240 mL to 13 mL (Vf= 13 mL + 240 mL= 253 mL).

In order to calculate the final concentration of the solution (Cf) we can use the following expression:

Ci x Vi= Cf x Vf

This mathematical expression is often used to calculate concentrations in dilution procedures. So, we introduce Ci, Vi an Vf in the expression and we calculate Cf:

Cf= (Ci x Vi)/Vf= (5.0 M x 13 mL)/253 mL= 0.257 M ≅ 0.26 M

What would cause an individual to have a mutation in all of their cells?
Stella [2.4K]

Answer: These changes can be caused by environmental factors such as ultraviolet radiation from the sun, or can occur if an error is made as DNA copies itself during cell division. Acquired mutations in somatic cells (cells other than sperm and egg cells) cannot be passed to the next generation.

How can a pure white mouse help determine the genotype of a black mouse? (Hint: We cannot see genotype but we can see difference
sattari [20]

Answer:

A white mouse is purely recessive, and will produce black offspring if the other mouse contributes a black gene.

Explanation:

If Bb then the offspring will be 50% Bb and 50% bb. This is called a test cross, where we use a recessive to determine the genotype of a dominant phenotype.
