Answer:
Cactus plants are able to survive in drier environment because they are able to store water for long periods.
B. Upwelling brings cold nutrient rich water to the surface and boosts aquatic life
The characteristics that suit a species for survival are transmitted from one generation to the next through genes which are the units of hereditary information.
<h3>What is a Gene?</h3>
This is referred to as the basic functional unit of heredity and is composed of DNA which are passed from the parent to the offspring.
This is done through the process which is known as meiosis in which four unique daughter cells are produced.
This is therefore how characteristics that suit a species for survival are transmitted from one generation to the next through the gene and is the most appropriate choice.

Answer:
With decrease in pH of ocean water, the survival rate of corals, algae, and fish in coral reef reduces.
Explanation:
Coral reefs find difficulty in living in acidic ocean water. It is so because the coral’s shell that is made up of calcium carbonate is unable to sustain in acidic environment.
Not only this the skeleton of snails, clams, algae , fish etc is also made up of calcium carbonate. Increased acidity leads to death of these species.
Thus, the lower is the pH of ocean water, the higher is its acidity and hence the lower is the probability of survival of corals, algae, and fish in the coral reef
