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.

If you were designing a lander to work on mars, where on earth would you test it? Why?
emmasim [6.3K]
Hmm good question. Well I would have to test it for where there are no living life. I would have to build another NASA in the County because there is plenty of room there. Mars is made out of Dusty Crust that is about 30 miles thick. And let's say that the desert's Dusty Crust is about 5 miles - 15 miles thick. That will give about the same amount of surface that mars has. So we would know what to build for a perfect lander to work on Mars. This isn't much but it is something.

A population is made up of individuals where 77 have the A1A1 genotype, 65 have the A1A2 genotype, and 123 have the A2A2 genotyp
lana [24]

Answer:

Frequency of allele A1- 0.41

Explanation:

In Hardy weinberg equilibrium,

P refers to the dominant allele

q refers to the recessive allele

The allele frequency will be p+q=1

The genotypic frequency is- P²+q²+2pq=1

P²= genotype of dominant trait ( A1A1)- 77

2pq= genotype of heterozygotes (2pq)- 65

q²= genotype of recessive trait (A2A2)-  123

Total number of offsprings= 77+  65+ 123

                                            = 265

Now to calculate allele frequency of A1=

\dfrac{\text{number of A1A1 offspring}}{ \text{total number of offspring}}+\dfrac{1}{2}(\dfrac{\text{number of A1A2 offspring}}{\text{total number of offspring}})

= 77/265 + 1/2( 65//265)

=  0.290+ 0.122

= 0.413

Thus, 0.41 is correct.

Each segment of lung tissue is divided into a number of ____ wrapped in elastic connective tissue with a lymphatic, an arteriole
Luda [366]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Lobules

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • In respiratory system the lungs are two spongy, cone shaped organs in the thoracic cavity and are separated from each other by the heart and other structures found in the mediastinum.
  • Deep grooves called fissures divide each lung into lobes. Each lobe receives its own secondary bronchus. Each lung lobe is divided into smaller segments that are supplied by a tertiary bronchus.
  • <em><u>The segments, in turn are subdivided into small compartments called lobules, which contains, lymphatic vessel, arteriole, venules and also a branch from terminal bronchiole wrapped in elastic connective tissue.</u></em>
