Answer:

The correct answer is -  the more specialized pharyngeal jaws are for one diet, the less adapted they are for the ingestion of other foods

Explanation:

Pharyngeal jaws are also called throat jaws and are specific for the prey. These jaws have strong muscles and plastic or easy-to-modify teeth. If an organism has pharyngeal jaws specialized for a specific diet or prey it will have lesser chances to adapted well according to the new diet. For instance, pharyngeal jaws highly specialized for scale eating will not be able to adapt well if the fish ingests algae.

Which statements correctly explain why biological productivity in the tropical ocean is so meager when compared to biological pr
Anni [7]
<span>The answer to this question would be: 
- The permanent thermocline presents a barrier that keeps nutrients in deeper water from mixing with surface waters.
- The sunlight penetrates deep into the tropical ocean, warming the surface waters and creating stratification of water masses.

In tropical lands, the area is getting sunlight all around the year. This will cause the plant to be able to do photosynthesis all around the year too. Sunlight can penetrate the ocean, but the intensity will be much lower in deeper part. The ocean also become warmer but it will become cold in the deeper part too. </span>
