Why does more photosynthesis take place in the ocean than on land

Biology
1 answer:
bixtya [17]3 years ago
3 0
Just like plants on land, ocean-going plankton need light from the sun to prosper and grow. But light is absorbed by ocean water, and some colors of light are absorbed more readily than others.That's why nearly all photosynthesis in the ocean takes place in the sunlit upper layers.

Explain incomplete dominance, using snapdragon<br> flowers as an example.
oee [108]

Answer:

Dominant allele does not completely conceal recessive allele.

Snapdragon with genotype Rr (R being red and r being white), would have a phenotype of pink flowers.

Explanation:

Incomplete dominance is where a dominant allele is not able to completely conceal a recessive allele, usually leading to a phenotype which appears to be a combination of the two.

For example, in snapdragons:

The allele for red flowers (R) is dominant over the allele for white flowers (r). Let's say a snapdragon flower had the genotype Rr, one allele for red flowers and one for white. In the case of 'normal' dominance the dominant red flower allele (R) would mask the effects of the recessive white flower allele (r), resulting in the phenotype (outward observable characteristics) of having red flowers.

However here in the case of incomplete dominance, the dominant allele would not be able to fully cover up the effects of the white flower allele, meaning that both colors (red and white) are expressed in the phenotype, resulting in pink flowers.

Hope this helped!

kondaur [170]

Answer:

promote stomatal closure during drought stress.

Explanation:

Abscisic acid inhibits the growth and stomatal opening, specifically when the plants are exposed to some stress conditions. Abscisic acid also regulates the seed maturation and seed dormancy. ABA concentration in leaves increases multiple folds under drought conditions. Its accumulation in leaves promotes closure of stomata and prevents the water loss by transpiration. ABA is required to restore the turgor pressure under drought conditions by stimulation of stomatal closure.

Assume that male sticklebacks (a type of fish) that aggressively guard their nests are exposed to pollutants that mimic the fema
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Out of the following given choices;

               

<span>A.      </span>cause their nest-guarding activity to drop

<span>B.      </span>change male characteristics to female characteristics

<span>C.      </span>disrupt the estrogen receptors

<span>D.      </span>cause the males to become even more aggressive

 

The answer is A. The males would begin to search for the females for mating and hence reduce their guard of the nests. This would result in easy access of the nests to enemies and predators of  fish eggs and fingerlings.
