C. They create density differences that cause dense deepwater currents to flow toward the equator where they displace less dense, warmer water above them.

Good luck!

Answer: They create density differences that cause dense deepwater currents to flow toward the equator where they displace less dense, warmer water above them.

The temperature and salinity has a major impact on water current of oceanic water. The warm water is usually less denser than colder water, so it remains at the surface of water body, whereas the colder water being more in density remain in a depth. The salinity of cold water is more than the warm water.

According to the above explanation, they create density differences that cause dense deepwater currents to flow toward the equator where they displace less dense, warmer water above them is the correct explanation.

Explanation:

Lipids that contain an ester functional group are hydrolysable in water. These include neutral fats, waxes, phospholipids, and glycolipids. Fats and oils are composed of triglycerides, made up of glycerol (1,2,3-trihydroxypropane) and 3 fatty acids to form a triester.

Which principle helps to explain the reason behind why the two alleles for a single trait separate from each other when gametes

Misha Larkins [42]

The law of A. segregation is the Mendel’s laws or principles explain that traits are passed from parents to offspring individually instead of as pairs, groups or sets. So the correct option is option “A” as far as the given question is concerned. This is a law or principle which states that during the formation of gametes, two copies of each heredity factors separate out so that the new offspring can get one factor of both the parents. This law was the first law in this direction.

Why would a ecosystem that had a high species diversity be more productive and effective?

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

the higher the diversity, the higher the populations of all the

photosynthetic organisms

Explanation:

Diversity in plant allows random mating also known as panmixia. It allows plant have equal chances of being mated too by any among them creating variations in the population. It leads to less fixed gene, reduce genetic drift leading to an increases population as some lethal gene may be lost due to recombination of gene among individual plant.

Where there is no diversity some gene becomes fixed leading to perpetuation of some traits that may be harmful in a population but diversity allows for the generation of new gene and allele frequency within a population.
