Overfishing of salmon has caused populations of wild salmon to decline. To combat this decline, salmon are raised in hatcheries,

and then released to the wild. However, researchers have found that hatchery-raised salmon have reduced reproductive success in the wild, compared to wild salmon. They have also identified many genetic differences between hatchery-raised and wild salmon. Which statement describes the most likely reason for the differences between hatchery-raised and wild salmon? A. The pressures of a hatchery environment and of the wild environment select for different traits. B. Hatchery-raised salmon develop into stronger swimmers than those raised in the wild. C. The pressures of a hatchery environment promote convergent evolution between hatchery-raised and wild salmon. D. Hatchery-raised salmon have evolved to have completely different genomes from those of wild salmon.

Option A, The pressures of a hatchery environment and of the wild environment select for different traits.


The various pressures in wild environment include the competition for food and survival, threat of prey etc. The effect of domestication on salmon can also be a reason for its low productivity in wild environment. Some other factors that might have affected the regular productivity of salmon in wild environment include- captive rearing, inbreeding among close relatives and ability of some fish to adapt to the unique hatchery environment.

Which coast of north America has the greater amount of earthquakes, volcanoes and mountain s?
tangare [24]

Answer:

There are more earthquakes on the West coast of the United States, because the boundaries of the North American, Pacific, and Juan de Fuca tectonic plates are located there. As the edges of the plates slide past or are forced under each other, the movement creates earthquakes

How do RNA's subcomponents affect its properties? (3 points) A. Adenine and cytosine bond with thymine and guanine, respectively
frozen [14]

Answer:

B. Base pairing occurs within an RNA molecule to give RNA the three-dimensional shape needed for specific functions.

Explanation:

Ribonucleic acid, known as RNA, is a type of nucleic acid found in living systems. In opposition to the other type of nucleic acid (DNA), RNA is a short single stranded molecule. Both DNA and RNA are made of nucleotides, composed of a phosphate group, nitrogenous bases and a pentose sugar.

The presence of ribose sugar and Uracil base in RNA instead of deoxyribose sugar and thymine base respectively structurally differentiates the molecule from DNA. However, base pairing occurs within the RNA molecule to form the three-dimensional shape of the RNA, which is key to the specificity of its function.
