Answer: They tend to support large planktonic

communities because (of higher dissolved oxygen and nutrient concentrations).

Explanation:

Planktonic communities are made up of basic organisms that forms the oceanic food web. They are broadly divided into Phytoplankton (these are the producers), Zooplankton (these are the consumers) and Bacterioplankton (these are the recyclers).

High-latitude ocean water is mostly affected by the quantity of oxygen and nutrients it contains. Large planktonic communities thrives in these aquatic environment because is contains higher amount of dissolved oxygen and nutrient concentrations which forms part of their basic needs for survival. This is so because changes in ocean water can impact all levels of the food web. Increase or decrease in ocean temperature can modify the plankton diversity and distribution directly by altering it's metabolic rates and growth.

Therefore due to the geographic location of high latitude ocean, higher dissolved oxygen and nutrient concentrations favour the survival of a larger planktonic communities than other ocean parts.

Assume that you are a marine biologist. Choose a marine phyletic group and write a report on its diversity and the adaptations
Maslowich

Answer:

These organisms should be adapted to live in this enviroment, i.e., they need to have adaptations to breathe, to swim (fins), streamlined bodies to move through the water, to eat the food found in the region, etc. Moreover, in this environment, the diversity tends to be high because marine regions are often characterized by their richness.

the diploid number of chromosomes in horses is 64. what is the haploid number of chromosomes in horses?
OlgaM077 [116]
The haploid number of the chromosomes should be 32. 

Diploid number means that they have the complete sets of chromosomes in their cells, these cells are usually found in somatic (body) cells and different organisms have a different number. For example, a human somatic cell has 46 chromosomes, such as a muscle cell, or a skin cell etc. 

Meanwhile, haploid number means that the number of chromosomes in the cell only have half of the chromosome number than that of the diploid cells. These haploid cells are usually found in gametes of sexually reproducing organisms, such as human, we have 23 chromosomes in our sex cells. This is important because we have to make sure the chromosome number of offsprings are not doubled, as during sexual reproduction, male and female gametes fuse together to form a zygote. 

Therefore, to calculate the haploid number of a cell, we can divide the diploid number by 2, which is 64/2, and the answer would be 32.
