Winds, water density, and tides all drive ocean currents. Coastal and sea floor features influence their location, direction, and speed. Earth's rotation results in the Coriolis effect which also influences ocean currents.
Ocean currents act as conveyer belts of warm and cold water, sending heat toward the polar regions and helping tropical areas cool off, thus influencing both weather and climate.The tropics are particularly rainy because heat absorption, and thus ocean evaporation, is highest in this area.
The chart that shows all the possible combinations of alleles that can result from a genetic cross is called a Punnett Square! I've attached an example of one to this answer.
I believe the correct answer would be metabolism. This comprises all of the reactions inside organisms that allows them to sustain life. There are two categories of such namely, anabolism and catabolism. Hope this answers the question.
