<u>Hydro-international article: Benthos, Inc.</u>

Benthos was founded by Samuel O. Raymond.  

He created an innovative company in marine technology which has positively impacted the field for over four decades.

It manufactures a variety of oceanographic equipment, including flotation devices; hydrophones for locating mining sites, tracking boats, and research for marine biology; and modems, which are used to communicate information wirelessly underwater.

For much of the company's lifetime, it supplied underwater equipment to the military, the government, and for research.

<u>Smithsonian Magazine: 14 fun facts about marine bristle worms</u>

Polychaete worms are a diverse class of animals with at least 10,000 species.  

They are characterized by a head and a tail, and a pair of bristled "legs", called parapodia, for each segment of their body. They are typically bioluminescent, meaning they have the natural ability to glow.

Due to their effective adaptation, they can live in any marine habitat (including coral reefs, hydrothermal vents, or simply out in the open ocean) and have survived the five mass extinctions since 500 million years ago.

<u>National Ocean Service: What is a bivalve mollusk?</u>

Bivalves are mollusks with a two-part hinged shell to cover a soft invertebrate. They breathe and eat using gills.

Their organ, the mantle, produces calcium carbonate which causes the shell to grow with the organism.

They have important roles of being prey for predators, filtering water, and acting as a habitat in aquatic ecosystems.

These mollusks can live in any of the five oceans, whether it be the frozen Arctic or the hydrothermal vents in the Pacific.

There are over 9000 species.

<u>Marine Education Society of Australasia: Echinoderms</u>

Echinoderms are characterized by radial symmetry, having multiple of five arms, a calcium carbonate shell, and an outer layer of skin that maintains the skeleton.

They are found on the sea floor and include starfish, sea cucumbers and sea urchins.

They have the ability to hunt prey larger than their mouths due to their ability to eat from their stomachs. They detect food through a senstitivty to chemicals, although they lack any brains.

There are over 7000 species.

<u>Thoughtco: Sea Squirts</u>

Sea Squirts, scientifically tunicates or ascidans, are a class in the animal kingdom with over 2000 species.

They were given this name for their ability to contract and squirt water.  

They do this using the inhalant and exhalant siphons, which are also used for eating and excreting waste.

They live in subtidal locations while attached to shells, rocks, piers and boat hulls.

Sea Squirts may live in colonies or individually. Colonies are created when they reproduce by budding, or when a new animal grows off of the original.

<u>National Geographic.com: Sea Anemones</u>

Sea anemones are an invertebrate which have stinging and venom-filled tentacles, called polyps, to hunt passing fish.

They tentacles surround a central mouth and inject a paralyzing substance into its prey, before guiding them into the mouth.

Apart from hunting, they also eat leftovers from clownfish, who are immune to the anemone because they are covered with a mucus and live within the polyps.

They live attached to rocks on the seafloor and coral reefs, usually in tropical waters.

There are over 1000 species.

<u>Conclusions or Summary:</u>

The marine technology company Benthos led to the discovery or further information about these animals because it provided equipment to researchers.

All of these organisms are animals and diverse with thousands of species in each of these common names.

They are adaptive and can generally live and thrive in a variety of habitats, whether the difference be in surface material or climate.

What happens in the G2 phase of the cell cycle?
muminat
Your answer is After DNA replication, the cell leaves S phase and enters G2, when the cell prepares for mitosis or meiosis. At the G2 checkpoint, the cell checks two things. First, it checks DNA for any damage that might have occurred during replication. It also ensures all the proteins needed for cell division are present.

One of the traits that we looked at in class was a widow's peak (has peak is dominant, no peak is recessive). For each individua
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

Explanation: 1) Individual who is bald but neither parents has a widow's peak: As having a peak is dominant and the individual is bald with parents that doesn't have the trait, the genotype is recessive, in the case ww;

2) Individual has a widow's peak: The individual's genotype can be WW, homozygous for the trait or Ww, heterozygous for the trait, depending on the genotype of the parents;

3) Individual can't roll their tongue: Being able to roll the tongue is a dominant characteristics, so if the individual can't roll their tongue means the genotype is recessive. But, there is little evidence that this trait is dominant or inheritable;

4) Individual has a widow's peak  but their mother does not: In this case, the genotype of the individual is heterozygous (Ww), because the mother is recessive (ww) and the offspring has the trait, so the father must have had it;

5) If an individual does not have a widow's peak (ww), which genotype would be impossible? If this individual crosses over with another individual with the same trait, their children will be all recessive for widow's peak (ww), so there is no possibility of an offspring with the trait;

If the initial individual crosses over with an individual with widow's peak, two possiblities can occur:

  • If the crossover is with an individual homozygous for the trait (WW): all their children will have widow's peak with genotype Ww. So, the possibility of not having the peak is 0;
  • If the crossover is with an individual heterozygous for the trait (Ww), there will be a probability of 25% for the children to have genotype WW, a probability of 50% for the offspring to be heterozygous (Ww) and has the trait and probability of 25% to be recessive (ww) and therefore doesn't have the trait;

Describe the chemical components of DNA.
Slav-nsk [51]

DNA is composed of nucleotides, which are composed of three parts:

1. A five carbon carbohydrate (pentose)

Pentose is classified as a monosaccharide (simple carbohydrate), and its molecular formula is represented by (CH_{2} O)n. They are water soluble molecules with sweet taste. Monosaccharides may have from three carbon atoms (trioses) to six (hexoses). In DNA is present pentose (5 carbon atoms)

2. A nitrogenous base

Nitrogenous bases are ring-shaped compounds that contain nitrogen in their molecular structure. They are classified into two groups: purines and pyrimidines

The purine bases are adenine (A) and guanine (G). They are larger and contain more than one ring in their structure,.

The pyrimidines, cytosine (C), uracil (U) and thymine (T), are smaller and composed of a single ring.

3. One or more phosphate groups

A phosphate consists of a trivalent anion that contains one phosphorus atom and four oxygen atoms. Its molecular formula is expressed by (PO_{4} ^{-3}).
