How are temperature and salinity related in a thermohaline circulation pattern?

Biology
1 answer:
katovenus [111]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

Thermohaline circulation is the circulation of currents in the deep ocean due to the density of the water which is controlled by heat and salinity. Water in the ocean posses layers or defined boundaries based on the density which provides driving force to the deep ocean currents.

Formation of these layers is due to the sinking of the cold water in the basin which and ice formation which leaves the salt in the seawater ,therefore, increasing salinity. This increased salinity increases its density and the surface water is replaced by the sinking water causing deep ocean currents.

Thus, option D is the correct answer.

suppose you have the monohybrid pea plants in your garden and find that they produce round seed to wrinkled seeds in the ration
Arisa [49]

Answer;

The correct answer would be Rr.

In a monohybrid cross, the phenotype ratio of 3:1 is obtained only when both the parents are heterozygous for the trait.

In this condition, the heterozygous genotype would be Rr. The phenotype of both the parents would be round seeds (R) as the round is a dominant trait.

The cross of these parents would produce offspring with three types of genotypes RR, Rr, and rr in ratio 1:2:1.

Thus, the phenotypic ratio would come out to be 3 (round seed):1 (wrinkled seed).
