Phytoplankton serves as food for virtually all the organisms living in an aquatic environment. It is a primary food producer and serves as the foundation of aquatic food web. If there is a decline in the amount of phytoplankton, the organisms which feed directly on the plant may reduce significantly as a result of dire competition for food, this in turn will affect the organisms which feed on the dying out organisms and the trend will move in a similar way until it affect all the organisms living in that particular aquatic habitat.
<u>ANSWER:</u>
The muscles and joints allow the hands to perform their function of holding and grasping a wide variety of things.
<u>EXPLANATION:</u>
- The structure of hands is "very delicate and complex". The tendons, nerve fibres, tissues and thin muscles are located right under the skin.
- The bones of the hand including the 4 carpal bones, 5 metacarpal and 14 finger bones are all connected by joints and ligaments and these allow the hand to grasp things.
- The wrist is made of "two parts of a joint" that allow the extension and stretching of hands.
Phylogenetic bracketing is a technique for surmising utilized as a part of organic sciences. It is to deduce the probability of obscure attributes in life forms in view of their position in a phylogenetic tree. One of the primary utilizations of phylogenetic sectioning is on wiped out creatures, known from fossils.
The effect of geographic isolation is that the two populations are subjected to different selection (pressures) and geographic conditions. The conditions in the two areas, if different, will produce different alleles in that species and will be selected for, where genetic differences will gradually accumulate between the two different populations.
In time, enough genetic differences will occur so that the two populations will no longer interbreed. Then, by definition, they have become different species.
