The body of water experiences eutrophication.  

The process of eutrophication takes place primarily in ecosystems with gradual changing waters, mainly in deep lakes. In the depths of the lake, where deposition of dead algae takes place, the aerobic bacteria, which feeds on them proliferate that in turn consumes more amount of oxygen.  

Though in the absence of enough circulation of water that is usually found in the case of deep lakes, the bottom of the lake is poorly oxygenated and the bacteria eventually deplete the oxygen found in the deep layers of water. Thus, they can no longer degrade all the dead organic matter and gets accumulated in the sediments. The lake is now considered to be aging.

Which statements are true about variations in the genetic code?
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

<u>C) They may provide selective advantages. </u>

<u>D) Slight differences in the genetic code may have significant results.</u>

Explanation:

The genetic code is universal, and present in most living beings . Generally, in most living organisms, the same codons are assigned to the same amino acids.  

DNA sequences make up genes that may have multiple variants, called alleles. DNA deoxyribonucleic acid, is transcribed into mRNA and then translated into amino acids that form proteins.

Natural selection mainly acts on phenotypes, which are dependent on proteins and the organisms's environment.  Phenotypes conferring advantageous traits are favored by the selection process- these help groups of organisms evolve over time.
