Answer:

d. wave shock

Explanation:

An adaptation can be defined as a phenotypic trait that makes an organism and/or species better suited to its environment, thereby this organism/species will have more chances to survive and reproduce in such conditions. Rock-dwelling aquatic animals have different ecological, morphological and behavioral adaptations to survive in this type of environment. In this regard, it is well-known that these organisms show dorsally flattened bodies, since it is one fundamental morphological adaptation which helps them to dissipate the force of the waves.

The sickle-cell allele produces a serious blood disease in homozygous recessive individuals. why doesn't natural selection elimi
icang [17]

No, the sickle-cell anemia allele won't be eliminated by natural selection.

Sickle-cell anemia trait is controlled by a single gene and the allele (S) for sickle-cell anemia is a harmful autosomal recessive.

It is caused by a mutation in the normal allele (A) for hemoglobin (a protein on red blood cells).

Heterozygotes (AS) with the sickle-cell allele are resistant to malaria, a deadly tropical disease. It is common in many African populations.

In these areas, (S) carriers have been naturally selected, because their red blood cells, containing some abnormal hemoglobin, tend to be in sickle shape when they are infected by the malarial parasite.

Therefore, they are more likely to survive and reproduce. This keeps the S allele in the gene pool.

Explain what maria and craters are and how they formed. best answer will be marked as brainlest plz help.
Katen [24]
Lunar maria (plural form of the Latin word mare, which means sea) are dark surfaces that can be found all over the moon (17% of the Moon is covered in them) that have been created as a result of volcanic eruptions. These areas are made up of basalt, and given that they seemed almost waterlike, the astronomers in the distant past mistook them for seas, whence their name comes.
When it comes to craters, their origin is quite similar - volcanic eruptions created them. When lava starts erupting from a volcano, it has to get out from somewhere - and thus craters are created. If you are referring to lunar craters, however, there are many speculations as to how they were created: due to volcanic eruptions, meteoric impact, or glacier activity.
