Answer:

Answer:

Explanation:

What happens when water's salinity increases?

A combination of high salinity and low temperature makes seawater so dense that it sinks to the bottom of the ocean and flows across ocean basins as deep, slow currents.

What happens to local salinity when evaporation rates increase?

Salinity is the saltiness of seawater. Salinity is measured by the concentration of grams of salt per kilogram of water. ... What happens to local salinity when evaporation rates increase: Rises 5.

How is salinity related to evaporation and precipitation?

Evaporation of ocean water and formation of sea ice both increase the salinity of the ocean. However these "salinity raising" factors are continually counterbalanced by processes that decrease salinity such as the continuous input of fresh water from rivers, precipitation of rain and snow, and melting of ice.

(chromosome? number remains the same as parent cell) Daughter cells are genetically identical Occurs in all organisms except viruses Creates all body cells (somatic?) apart from the germ cells? (eggs and sperm) Prophase is much shorter No recombination/crossing over occurs in prophase. In metaphase individual chromosomes (pairs of chromatids) line up along the equator. During anaphase the sister chromatids are separated to opposite poles. Meiosis Involves two successive cell divisions Results in four daughter cells Results in haploid? daughter cells (chromosome number is halved from the parent cell) Daughter cells are genetically different Occurs only in animals, plants and fungi Creates germ cells (eggs and sperm) only Prophase I takes much longer Involves recombination/crossing over of chromosomes in prophase I In metaphase I pairs of chromosomes line up along the equator. During anaphase I the sister chromatids move together to the same pole. During anaphase II the sister chromatids are separated to opposite poles. Similarities Mitosis Diploid parent cell Consists of interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase In metaphase individual chromosomes (pairs of chromatids) line up along the equator. During anaphase the sister chromatids are separated to opposite poles. Ends with cytokinesis. Meiosis Diploid parent cell Consists of interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase (but twice!) In metaphase II individual chromosomes (pairs of chromatids) line up along the equator. During anaphase II the sister chromatids are separated to opposite poles. Ends with cytokinesis.

At one time, biologists thought that fungi were merely forms of plants that had lost their chlorophyll and had returned to sapro
Drupady [299]

Answer & explanation:

Fungi have long been regarded as organisms that were part of the <em>Plantae</em> kingdom (plants), mainly because they have cell walls in their cells, reproduce by spores, and the fact that some of them are sessile (attached to the ground).

However, fungi are no longer considered as plants because they do not have chlorophyll or specialized cells, such as chloroplasts and vacuoles. In addition, fungi have heterotrophic nutrition (plants are autotrophic), needing to absorb organic substances to survive.

Nowadays, fungi are studied in isolation and are inserted in their own kingdom, the <em>Fungi</em> kingdom.
