Answer: B. red tide

Explanation:

Red tide is a phenomena that is caused by algal bloom specifically due to the growth and abundance of unicellular algae called as dinoflagellates and diatoms. These organisms impart red color to the coastal waters. Such kind of algal blooms release toxins in the water. They deplete the concentration of oxygen in the water body.

The shellfish consume these small unicellular organisms as they filter large amount of water. The shellfish population accumulates large amount of toxins on consumption of these small organisms. The shellfish are harvested and consumed by the human population can make them sick and may lead to mortality of large population.

Compare what ways are planets and<br> dwarf planets similar.
Cerrena [4.2K]

What can cause a gap in the rock record?
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

Option (3)

Explanation:

Unconformity is defined as the gaps in the sequence of geological rocks. It is a geological contact that marks the boundary between the different types of rocks. In simple words, they are also known as the time of non-deposition. These unconformities have great significance in the field of geology. They are of 4 types, namely-

(1) Angular unconformity- The sedimentary rocks are initially formed and deposited in an area, after that the area is tilted and erosion takes place. Now, the new sediments are deposited forming an angle, which is commonly known as an angular unconformity.

(2) Non-conformity- When the sedimentary rocks are deposited over the igneous or metamorphic rocks, then it is known as the non-conformity.

(3) Para conformity- When the sedimentary rocks are deposited parallel to the ground surface, and absence of erosion activity, then these surface appears to be a normal (simple) bedding plane. This is known as the para conformity.

(4) Disconformity- When the sedimentary rocks are formed and undergoes erosion, then new sedimentary rocks are deposited over this and diminishes the unconformity. This forms a discontinuity.

Thus, the unconformity arises due to both erosion and lack of rock deposition.

Hence, the correct answer is option (3).

different cell types develop in a multicellular organism because each cell has its own unique set of genes.
ale4655 [162]
That question is confusing. Cells obviously take from its parent cells, which means that DNA is combined from both mom and dad in a unique way. That can cause the offspring to have either the mom's or dad's eyecolor. So the "different genes" part apply to that because for each feature of the offspring it is a complex combination of mom and dad. What I don't get is the different cells. there are these things called stem cells which are basically cells that can be anything in the body when there's a need for it. A stem cell can be a nerve cell or muscle cell for example. So i don't think it requires genes to be exact to form a cell. I hope you get what I'm trying to say
