Why are shellfish population often a good indicator of water quality

Biology
1 answer:
Pachacha [2.7K]3 years ago
8 0
"Water quality" may include the amounts of dissolved oxygen and the levels of algal growth, pollutants which may be present and the pH level. Water quality effects also which types of organisms can survive in a body of water.
 Shellfish require a high level of dissolved oxygen and their abundance is an indication of good water quality. Shellfish are sensitive to changes in the ecosystem and they cannot easily escape changes in the water quality. These are one of the reasons why shellfish are good indicators of water quality.

Adenine is an organic molecule found in DNA, ribonucleic acid (known as RNA) and adenosine triphosphate, better known as ATP.

Guanine

Guanine is a purine base found in DNA and RNA that binds exclusively with cytosine to form ribonucleosides called guanosine or deoxyribose to form deoxyguanosine.

Thymine

Thymine is a pyrimidine base found in DNA that binds to adenine.

Cytosine

Cytosine is a pyramid-shaped nitrogenous base that binds to guanine in RNA and DNA as nucleotides and functions as part of the genetic code.
