Answer: Estuary

An estuary can be defined as an ecosystem where a fresh water source like stream of river get mixed with an ocean. The water in the estuary is brackish water. In estuaries, the water level and salinity rise and fall under the influence of oceanic tides, river flow and seasons. The oceanic tides creates the largest flow of saline water whereas, rivers creates largest flow of fresh water. During rainy season the rivers will flood the estuary with fresh water and in the dry season the estuary shrinks and becomes more saline. Therefore, estuary water varies in degrees of salinity.

The diagram shows three steps in the clotting process.
levacccp [35]

Answer:

В, С, А​

Explanation:

The process of clotting is known as the hemostasis which takes place in three steps: the vascular spasm, the formation of a plug of platelets and the coagulation.

In the given question, step B shows the process of vascular spasm in which the vascular blood vessels becomes constricted due to injury. After this, the platelets present in the blood starts accumulating at the site of injury. These platelets stick together and form a plug-like structure at the site of injury.

Later, step A takes place that is fibrin protein present in the blood starts forming a mesh-like structure which does not allow the bleeding and this process is known as coagulation.

Thus, the selected option is the correct answer.

Part A What is a telomere? What is a telomere? the mechanism that holds two sister chromatids together the ends of linear chromo
GrogVix [38]

Answer: B the ends of linear chromosomes.

Explanation:

Based on structure, telomeres are located at the end of chromosomes; they are protective caps that bind the genes at the end of the chromosomes in order to prevent it from interchromosomal fusion (clumping) and degradation (broken down). Simply, they serve the same role as plastic caps to the tip of shoe laces; preventing it from unraveling.

.

Generally, telomeres becomes short in length with time. At this stage they become weaken, and breaks down. The affected the cells basic replication activites, and therefore the functions. These non-functioning cells accumulated in body organs, and made them to degenerate .This reduced longevity, leading to death of cells. However the shortening of the length is an advantage to prevent the spread of cancer in cells because I naturally stops the uncontrivable growth of cells

Therefore the longer the length of    telomeres at the genome end of chromosomes, the higher the rate of replication of the concerned cells, and hence the increase in the age of the cell
