Answer:

The freshwater is hypotonic to the fish

Explanation:

<em>A marine fish is adapted to living in water that is salty.</em>

<em>The fish will not survive because the freshwater would be hypotonic to the body of the fish and as such, excess water would enter its body which will lead to its death. The cells that make up the body of the fish will take-in excess water and lyse, leading to the death of the fish itself.</em>

IgorC [24]
I think if the whale population decreased the surface fish populations would decline due to reduced populations of algae. This can be simply explained by the fact that, if the whale population is decreased, it means that the nitrogen rich feces that is supply nutrients to the algae would also decrease and therefore decrease the population of the algae and as a result the population of  of the surface fish  would also decline.

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

I think this is the list right? - Felis catus Sylvilagus audubonii Parus inornatus Euarctos americanus

Explanation:

When two members of the same species (male and female) mate, they produce fertile offspring.

The conclusion that can be drawn from this is that due to the fact that from looking at the scientific names of the animals, there are different genus and species names, there would be no interbreeding between them as they do not belong to the same species.

And if peradventure there is crossbreeding, the union would be unable to produce fertile offspring.
