Answer:

Estuaries are of ecological importance because they are a habitat for a number of aquatic animals. Estuaries provide a protected environment to fishes and other organisms where they can safely reproduce. As many river streams flow into an estuary, hence an estuary has abundance of foods and nutrients for the aquatic animals that inhabit here. Estuaries also help the growth of those fishes which are used by humans in abundance hence raising the economy.

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

B) 1 black eyes, green skin, two eyes : 1 black eyes, green skin, one eye : 1 black eyes, white skin, two eyes : 1 orange eyes, green skin, two eyes : 1 orange eyes, white skin, two eyes : 1 orange eyes, white skin, one eye

Explanation:

Parentals: BbGgCc x bbggcc

The punette square diagram of the cross of these two parents is attached.

B = black eyes, b = orange eyes;

G = green skin, g = white skin;

C = two eyes, c = one eye

Progeny with BbGgCc genotype → black eyes, green skin, two eyes = 8

Progeny with BbGgcc genotype → black eyes, green skin, one eye = 8

Progeny with BbggCc genotype → black eyes, white skin, two eyes = 8

Progeny with bbGgCc genotype → orange eyes, green skin, two eyes = 8

Progeny with Bbggcc genotype → black eyes, white skin, one eye = 8

Progeny with bbGgcc genotype → orange eyes, green skin, one eye = 8

Progeny with bbggCc genotype → orange eyes, white skin, two eyes = 8

Progeny with bbggcc genotype → orange eyes, white skin, one eye = 8

So, if we will see them in the form of ratio then each of the genotype will be in the ratio of 1 i.e. black eyes, green skin, two eyes: black eyes, green skin, one eye: black eyes, white skin, two eyes: orange eyes, green skin, two eyes: black eyes, white skin, one eye: orange eyes, green skin, one eye: orange eyes, white skin, two eyes : orange eyes, white skin, one eye = 1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1.

So, in view of above option B is most appropriate.

Note: In a trihybrid cross, a total of 64 progeny types may be produced.

Answer:

2.Biotic factors are dependent on abiotic factors for food and protection.

3.Abiotic factors affect the type and number of organisms that live in a particular ecosystem.

Explanation:

An ecosystem is an environment that contains both living and non-living parts that actively interacts together.

The living part of the ecosystem is the biotic factors and the non-living parts are the abiotic factors.

The biotic components actively depends on the abiotic component for nourishment.
This is exemplified through the process of photosynthesis.
Also, the shelter of organisms are derived from the abiotic factors.
The abiotic factors have significant impact on the type and number of organisms that live in an ecosystem.
