<span>The delineation of an aquatic ecosystem is the process of spatial identification, mapping and recording of the site; description documents the critical components and processes that underpin the ecosystem values of the site, and develops conceptual model(s) and identifies threats.
Delineating an aquatic ecosystem often starts with defining the main aquatic elements (core elements). The core elements will often be distinct landforms or features such as a waterhole, a swamp, a lake or a river. Ecotonal areas may be included as part of the core element or may be considered as a separate zone. For example, riparian vegetation is often considered to be an integral part of a river ecosystem, even if only inundated in big flood events.
The area around the core elements that has a critical influence on ecosystem function is referred to here as the Ecological Focal Zone. Beyond this, the landscape may be usefully differentiated as a Zone of Influence and a Catchment Zone.</span>
Answer:
A) The two strands of a DNA molecule are parallel and complementary.
Explanation:
DNA is a polymer of nucleotide and this nucleotide are made up of a deoxyribose sugar molecule, a nitrogenous base, and a phosphate group. In DNA genetic information of the cell is stored in the form of nitrogenous bases.
DNA is double-stranded and both the strands run anti-parallel with each other. This anti-parallel orientation provides the nitrogenous base of one strand to form hydrogen bonds with the nitrogenous base present on the opposite strand.
In DNA adenine base pairs with thymine with two hydrogen bonds and guanine base pairs with cytosine with three hydrogen bonds. So the false statement is A.
Answer:
Ben - Y Xc
Jen - XCXC
Violet - XCXc
Seraphina - XCXc
Samuel- Y Xc
Explanation:
Given -
Ben has a cleft chin
Let the allele for cleft chin be "c"
and the allele for normal chin be "C"
When Ben with cleft chin mates with wife Jennifer Garner having normal chin, then the two girl child do not have cleft chin but the boy has cleft chin.
This means that the allele C could be X -linked and the mother is not the carrier but the father is
The genotype of father Ben would be Y Xc
Genotype of mother would be XCXC
Genotype of two daughters XCXc , XCXc which means they are carrier for the next generation
Genotype of Boy - Y Xc
Answer:
Charles Darwin was the man who came with the theory of natural selection. He witnessed finches within the Galapagos Islands and made notes on the similarities and differences of the finches across the group of islands. Each of the islands comprises finches, which were identical, however distinct in different ways.
Darwin found that the finches appeared to vary on the basis of the food sources available on each of the islands. If the prime food were seeds, the finches seemed to possess thicker beaks in order to break the seeds so that they can consume them.
On the other hand, if the prime food sources were insects, then the finches seemed to exhibit smaller and pointer beaks so that they could hold the insects readily. In this way, there is unity in diversity. All of these birds are finches and exhibited a common ancestor from which they have originated into the distinct species as mentioned.
Their variations lie in the habitats, in which they now inhabit. They had to amend with their environments in order to thrive, thus, offering diversity to unity.
