What is the difference between plankton, nekton and benthos?

Biology

Archy [21]3 years ago

<span>The common difference between the three organisms is the area in which they specifically live or stay in the ocean. Planktons can’t be seen by the naked eye and they require microscopes to be detected. Planktons usually float in the water and they cannot move on their own that’s why they are dependent in the movement of the water.

Nektons are organisms that swim through the water and they live in different depths in the ocean ecosystem. Nektons are composed of fish and other mammals that propel themselves through the water.

Benthos are organisms that live in the ocean floor and many of these organisms stay in one place by attaching themselves to rocks. This adaptation protects them from crashing waves and drastic water movements. Other benthos are known to burrow in the ocean floor either for food or protection.</span>

In the experiment determining the parental genotype of plant seedlings from a monohybrid cross, if the dominant color was green
eimsori [14]

Answer:

cc × cc

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for plant seedling. The green allele (C) is dominant over the white allele (c). This means that the green allele will mask the phenotypic expression of the white allele in a heterozygous state (Cc).

In this experiment where plate 1 only contained white seedlings instead of all green, this illustrates that all the offsprings were recessive. This is because the parental genotypes were both recessive for the color trait i.e. cc.

Note that, the recessive trait can only be expressed when the recessive alleles are present in a gene. Therefore, the parental genotype would have been cc × cc, in order to give rise to all offsprings with the recessive trait (white colour).
