Compare the terms biotic and abiotic factors. Provide examples of both that occur in a shallow ocean

6 0

Answer:

A biotic factor is a living thing that has an impact on another population of living things or on the environment. Abiotic factors do the same thing, but they are non-living. Together, biotic and abiotic factors make up an ecosystem. To survive, biotic factors need abiotic factors

Dna has unique properties that allow it to accurately retain genetic information, even after multiple rounds of replication. one
bonufazy [111]
There are four different bases that make the DNA molecule:
Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine, and Thymine.
Due to chemical properties of the bases, there are two pairs of bases that are complementary, Adenine and Thymine and Guanine and Cytosine.
So, if we have 16% of Adenine, there must be the same amount of Thymine, since they only appear in a pair.
16% of Adenine + 16% of Thymine - 32 %
the rest of the abundance of the bases can be calculated by subtracting the 32% out of the 100%: 100-32 = 68
So, Guanine and Cytosine make up 68% of the bases, and a half of that number is the amount each of the bases has in the total amount. 68/2= 34
16% Adenine -  16% Thymine
34% Guanine - 34% Cytosine

Write a paragraph explaining how genetic variation, reproductive strategies and environmental pressures have impacted the surviv
Andreas93 [3]

Answer: Genetics and Pressures

Explanation:

For natural selection to occur, a population must have a wide variety of individuals with different traits. For example, natural selection would not influence fish body color if all individuals in a population were exactly the same color. Variation of scale color can help a fish species have a higher chance of survival by confusing predators as to what species they are.

Reproductive strategies represent a set of behavioral, morphological, and physiological adaptations that facilitate access to potential mates, improve the chances of mating and fertilization, and enhance infant survival. Male peacocks have bright, big tail feathers, for example, to attract females. If an organism has a high appeal, this will make them more likely to be able to meet and continue the survival of the species.

Environmental pressures, such as plant death, could influence the survival of herbivorous organisms. Say a small land creature consisted off grass, and an epidemic killed all the grass in their region. They would either die off, or they would evolve to find different types of food. The former could reduce population, while the latter could increase it.

-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

This question is incomplete/lacks options, the options are:

A) Plant-like protists

B) Plants

C) Fungus

D) Archeaebacteria

The answer is A) Plant-like protists

Explanation:

Organisms of the kingdom protista are eukaryotic (possess a membrane-bound nucleus) unicellular or multicellular organisms that can be autotrophic or heterotrophic in nature depending on whether they are plant or animal like. Protists are classified borganisms that do not fit into the other group classification i.e. fungi, plant, animal and bacteria.

However, organisms in the group called PROTISTS can either be animal-like or plant-like depending on whether they possess some animal or plant characteristics respectively. Plant-like protist, like the organism described in the question, have CHLOROPLAST organelles like plants and hence, can perform photosynthesis in the presence of sunlight to synthesize their own food. This characteristics makes them autotrophic like plants.

Therefore, based on the characteristics of the new specimen collected from a deep jungle survey, the classification that fits it best is PLANT-LIKE PROTISTS.

Which statement best explains why muscle cells and skin cells do not look and act the same
vichka [17]
Because they are made to perform two different functions. Cells are part of tissues that are part of organs that perform a certain function. For example, your bone cells are made to make blood cells, so they wouldn’t be in your lungs as well.
