Answer:

The high sea surface salinity can be observed in the Pacific Ocean, the Indian Ocean, the Arabic ocean and the Mediterranean sea.

Explanation:

Due to rainfall and evaporation of water from sea the density varies with varying salts and minerals concentration that aggregate at the surface. The salinity in the seawater varies according to the amount of evaporation from a particular area.

Low salinity water is found in polar and subpolar regions that are near to the equator. Regions of high salinity are observed in the seawater which is centered around 30 degrees north and 30 degrees south to the equator due to the excess evaporation in these areas.

Describe the Cell Cycle [Interphase, G1 phase, S phase, G2 phase] describe them all please :)

Svet_ta [14]

G1, S and G2 phases are all cumulatively referred to as interphase involving the growth of a cell and the replication of its DNA. Initially in G1 phase, the cell grows physically and increases the volume of both protein and organelles. In S phase, the cell copies its DNA to produce two sister chromatids and replicates its nucleosomes. Finally, G2 phase involves further cell growth and organisation of cellular contents. The S phase of a cell cycle occurs during interphase, before mitosis or meiosis, and is responsible for the synthesis or replication of DNA. In this way, the genetic material of a cell is doubled before it enters mitosis or meiosis, allowing there to be enough DNA to be split into daughter cells. The S phase only begins when the cell has passed the G1 checkpoint and has grown enough to contain double the DNA. S phase is halted by a protein called p16 until this happens.

A) In the Dunker population, the frequency of IB allele is 0.3 and the frequency of i allele is 0.4. In the general population, the frequency of IB allele is 0.1 and the frequency of i allele is 0.5.

If:
$I^{A}$ - the frequency of IA allele
 $I^{B}$ - the frequency of IB allele
 $i$ - the frequency of i allele

Then:
 $I^{A} I^{A}$ + $I^{A} i$ - the frequency of individuals with A blood type
 $I^{B} I^{B}$ + $I^{B} i$ - the frequency of individuals with B blood type
 $ii$ - the frequency of individuals with O blood type

Let's first take a look on the Dunker population:
$I^{A} = 0.3$
$ii=0.16
$

Since there is only one possible genotype for O individuals - ii - the frequency of the allele i is square root of the frequency of O individuals:
 $i= \sqrt{ii}$
⇒ $i = \sqrt{0.16}$
⇒ $i=0.4$

Now, we have the frequencies of two alleles ( $I^{A}$ and $i$ ). To calculate the frequency of $I^{B}$ allele, we will use the formula:
 $I^{A} + I^{B} + i = 1$
⇒ $I^{B} = 1- I^{A} - i$
⇒ $I^{B} = 1-0.3-0.4$
⇒ $I^{B} = 0.3$

Now, in the general population:
$I^{A} = 0.4$
$ii=0.25$

Similarly to the work for the Dunker population:
 $i= \sqrt{ii}$
⇒ $i = \sqrt{0.25}$
⇒ $i=0.5$

$I^{A} + I^{B} + i = 1$
⇒ $I^{B} = 1- I^{A} - i$
⇒ $I^{B} = 1-0.4-0.5$
⇒ $I^{B} = 0.1$


b) A founder effect is a result of geographical separation of a few individuals from the original population. Those founding individuals will form a new population. The Dunker population was not only geographically separated, but also genetically. The group interbreeding was present resulting in increasing those allele frequencies that were the most common in the founding population. In this case, the most individuals from the founding population had B blood type.

Statistically, which woman is most apt to have a baby with low birth weight

xxTIMURxx [149]

A woman who regularly misses meals is the most likely to have a child suffering from lowered birth weight. This is because the woman is not receiving enough nutrients for both herself and the developing fetus, leading to undernourishment on the parts of both organisms and weights under what the recommended measures would be.

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!!!! Why do animals have special strategies to attract and select a mate?

natka813 [3]

Answer:

Animals use specific strategies to attract males/females in their species because for the mating process to happen, the animals must be attracted to one another so that they can continue with the certain circle of life.
