How do you think ocean acidification will affect coral reefs?

Biology
1 answer:
Airida [17]3 years ago
5 0

Explanation:

The rising acidity of the oceans threatens coral reefs by making it harder for corals to build their skeletons. ... Corals grow their skeletons upward toward sunlight and also thicken them to reinforce them.

Ocean acidification (OA) is considered an important threat to coral reef ecosystems, because it reduces the availability of carbonate ions that reef-building corals need to produce their skeletons.

A diploid nucleus of Drosophila melanogaster contains about 3.4 x 108 nucleotide pairs. Assume (1) that all nuclear DNA is packa
Olin [163]

Answer:

nucleosomes = 1.65 x 10^6

H2a = 3.3 x 10^6 molecules

H2b = 3.3 x 10^6 molecules

H3 = 3.3 x 10^6 molecules

H4 = 3.3 x 10^6 molecules

Explanation:

It was mentioned in the book Principles of Genetics  By D. Peter Snustad, Michael J. Simmons that in the nucleus of <em>D. melanogaster </em>there will be 1.65 x 10^6 nucleosomes and 3.3 x 10^6 molecules of every type of histone i.e. H2a, H2b, H3, and H4 present in it.

Which change in a gene pool is occurring in the image below?
Montano1993 [528]

Genetic drift is the change in the gene pool

Explanation:

Both micro and macro evolution depends on processes like natural selection, genetic drift, speciation etc.  

Genetic drift is the variations caused in the gene pool due to increase or decrease of alleles over time.

The variations in the phenotypes or traits of the fishes in the net are due to evolutionary adaptations developed over generations. The advantage of a dark color in differential reproduction and survival would have made to pass the dark color to the offsprings in each generation by making it the dominant allele.

Dark color helps the fishes to hide from their predators and also to attract their mates. Due to these reasons, the gene frequency of dark color becomes high and will cause an overall genetic drift in that species of fish.
