Bioaccumulation refers to the accumulation of a toxic chemical in the tissue of a particular organism.
Biomagnification refers to the increased concentration of a toxic chemical the higher an animal is on the food chain.
<span>The chemical elements</span><span> can be broadly divided into </span>metals<span>, </span>metalloids<span> and </span>nonmetals<span> according to their shared </span>physical<span> and </span>chemical properties<span>. All metals have a shiny appearance (at least when freshly polished); are good conductors of heat and electricity; form </span>alloys<span> with other metals; and have at least one </span>basic oxide<span>. Metalloids are metallic-looking brittle solids that are either </span>semiconductors<span> or exist in semiconducting forms, and have </span>amphoteric<span> or weakly </span>acidic oxides<span>. Typical nonmetals have a dull, coloured or colourless appearance; are </span>brittle<span> when solid; are poor conductors of heat and electricity; and have acidic oxides. Most or some elements in each category share a range of other properties; a few elements have properties that are either anomalous given their category, or otherwise extraordinary.</span>
Answer - sea oats
Sea oats play a vital role in the development of sand dunes. The structure of their leaves and roots help in the trapping of the wind blown sand, promoting the growth of sand dunes and their stabilization. Sea oat plantation is encouraged in coastal areas to protect damage from heavy winds and high tide.
Answer:
Nucleus
Explanation:
Expressing a gene basically means manufacturing its corresponding protein. This process has two major steps:
- In the transcription process, the information in DNA is transferred to a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule. This first major step of gene expression and genetic splicing of exons occurs in nucleus environment of the cell.
- During translation, which is the second major step, the mRNA is "read" according to the genetic code, which relates the DNA sequence to the amino acid sequence in proteins. Within all cells, the translation occurs within a specialized compartment called the ribosome.
