3. Climate change has been a topic repeatedly mentioned in our study of Marine Science.

Biology
1 answer:
Ber [7]2 years ago

Answer:

Climate change lead to the destruction of corals due a warming of the oceans, increase in ocean acidity as gases such as carbon dioxide are absorbed into the oceans, rise in sea level due to melting glaciers and increase in precipitation, changes in storm patterns, etc.

Symbiosis is a close relationship between two dissimilar organisms which usually results in benefits to one or both organisms.

<em>Note: The study material was not provided.</em>

Explanation:

Greenhouse gas emissions from human activities have led to an increase in global surface temperature. This has resulted in a warming of the oceans, increase in ocean acidity as gases such as carbon dioxide are absorbed into the oceans, rise in sea level due to melting glaciers and increase in precipitation, changes in storm patterns, etc.

The warming of the oceans poses a great threat to life and activities in the ocean. Coral reefs especially are affected by a warming of the ocean in the following ways:

  • mass coral bleaching- with increase in ocean temperature, corals remove the algae living in association with them that are responsible for their colour, thereby turning corals white. With prolonged bleaching periods, the corals eventually eventually die .
  • Sea level rise: with rise in sea level comes a likelihood of increase in flow of sediments into the sea. This sediments when deposited on corals found near land suffocates and kill the corals.
  • Changes in storm patterns: stronger and more frequent storms can lead to a destruction of coral reefs.
  • Increase in the acidity of oceans results in death of corals.

Corals and algae exist in a symbiotic (mutualistic) relationship in coral reefs. The coral provides the algae with a protected environment and compounds they need for photosynthesis. In return, the algae produce oxygen and help the coral to remove wastes.

Therefore, symbiosis is a close relationship between two dissimilar organisms which usually results in benefits to one or both organisms.

Describe how and where viruses reproduce and the function of RNA and DNA in this process.
topjm [15]

Answer:

Using the host's cellular metabolism, the viral DNA begins to replicate and form proteins. Then fully formed viruses assemble. These viruses break, or lyse, the cell and spread to other cells to continue the cycle. Like the lytic cycle, in the lysogenic cycle the virus attaches to the host cell and injects its DNA.

Bengal Tigers (Panthera tigris tigris) have coat colors that are either golden (the dominant trait) or white. In examining a pop
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

5%

Explanation:

Frequency of white tigers = 4%

population of tigers = 200

number of heterozygotes = 10

<u>Determine the actual genotype frequency of Heterozygotes </u>

frequency of heterozygotes = Number of heterozygotes / population

= ( 10 / 200 ) * 100

= 0.05 * 100 = 5%

Essay : What is the impact of pandemic on climate change and vice versa?​
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

.

Explanation:

To explain the last sentence, what I mean by that is the sudden decrease in air pollution in just a few weeks is what would have typically taken multiple years to do. Due to less drivers, factories shutting down, and more, less toxic and infirm mental hazardous chemicals were released into the atmosphere in an extremely short amount of time. However, nowdays, it is almost back to where is was before the pandemic.
