How do fish make it through winter in lakes that tend to freeze over?

Biology

asambeis [7]3 years ago

In the warm months of the year, it is natural to find cooler water at the depths of a lake; the exact opposite is true in winter. Due to the way that molecules arrange themselves in the water, warmer water stays at the bottom of the lake and cooler water stays at the top. Fish tend to swim to the warmer areas when lakes freeze over, and some even go to the very bottom and burrow into the mud there for added warmth.

As winter wears on, levels of oxygen in the water, leaving fish in a vulnerable state. When oxygen is low, fish may reduce their activity level and shut down feeding until conditions are more optimal. Persistent levels of low oxygen can result in freeze out, which is also known as winterkill, causing fish to die off due to lack of oxygen in the water. This is a natural phenomenon that is seen in harsher winters or winters that are particularly long and extreme.

How can the random distribution of alleles result in a predictable ratio?
levacccp [35]
Phenotypically and genotypically there are only two different ratios. If you think of a Punett square... 

<span>You could say that a pea plant with the trait for the dominant color green (G) could also carry the recessive trait for yellow (g). So let's say you mate a dominant green, (Gg) with another dominant green, (Gg). You would get 1 (GG), 2 (Gg) and 2 (gg). </span>

<span>Phenotypically (as in physical traitwise), the ratio is 3:1 because you have 3 green colored peas and one yellow. </span>

<span>Genotypically (as in traitwise), the ratio is 1:2:1, because you have 1 (GG), 2 (Gg) and 1 (gg). </span>

<span>So although it's random, for any specific trait there are only 4 different outcomes.</span>

3. (b) How does crossing over increase the variation in the gametes (and hence the offspring)?
sasho [114]

Answer:

During crossing over, part of one chromosome is exchanged with another. The result is a hybrid chromosome with a unique pattern of genetic material. Gametes gain the ability to be genetically different from their neighboring gametes after crossing over occurs.

Why can't nonmetals conduct electricity?
Verizon [17]
<span>Metalloids are metallic-looking brittle solids that are either semiconductors or exist in semiconducting forms, and have amphoteric or weakly acidic oxides. Typical nonmetals have a dull, colored or colorless appearance; are brittle when solid; are poor conductors of heat and electricity; and have acidic oxides.</span>
