Organisms that live in water are not totally independent of soil as a resource. These organisms depend on aquatic plants for food and other substances. These aquatic plants in turn require minerals for their sustenance. These minerals are carried to waterbodies from soil by rivers, rainwater etc.

Answer:

Organisms are dependent upon soil. Plants/Producers takes up minerals and water from the soil . ... Organisms living in water are not independent of soil as resource as they also consume food that is made from soil directly or indirectly.

Soil forms an important element for the survival of living organisms. All living organisms, such as microbes, insects, humans and plants rely on soil to live. Animals rely on plant for food. Soil provides anchorage to the roots and for the plants to grow properly. Soil provides a habitat for many microbes and small animals, which in return increases the fertility of the soil by decomposing complex organic compounds.

Organisms that live in water are indirectly dependent on the soil. Some of the aquatic animals depend on the aquatic plants for their food. These plants require certain minerals for their growth. These minerals are carried to water bodies from soil by rivers, rain fall etc. In the absence of these dissolved minerals from the soil to these water bodies, aquatic plant would not be able to grow and thus, affect the aquatic food chain, eventually.

n garden peas, the allele for tall plants is dominant over the allele for short plants. Suppose that a true-breeding tall plant
muminat

Answer:

25% of the heterozygous cross are short, and the offspring of a homozygous dominant and homozygous recessive pea plant will always display the dominant trait (phenotype), because they are heterozygous.

Explanation:

In this explanation, I'm assuming that the allele "T" for tall plants is dominant to the allele "t" for short plants, like in Gregor Mendel's pea plant experiment.

A homozygous tall pea plant will have the genotype "TT" and a homozygous short plant will have the genotype "tt" because homozygous means that both alleles are identical. Since "T" is dominant over "t", any plant with at least one "T" allele will be tall (the dominant trait), regardless of what the other allele is. Let's look at a Punnett square for this cross:

The final electron acceptor of the electron transport chain that functions in aerobic oxidative phosphorylation is
labwork [276]

Answer: a. oxygen

Basically what (/the) ETC and oxidative phosphorylation is, is the products of the Krebs cycle being oxidized and oxygen receiving electrons. And when the phosphorylation part of oxidative phosphorylation occurs is when ADP gains its third phosphate group becoming ATP.

Forgive me for this poor response I was trying to be quick and it resulted in this vague and disorganized mess. To properly explain the ETC and oxidative phosphorylation it would be best to start from the beginning and explain all the stages of Aerobic respiration. Then it would be easier to Segway in to this final stage which would definitely take 2-3 descriptive paragraphs to cover.

How does the mutation rate affect the speed at which a population adapts to its environment?
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

Under these conditions an increase in the mutation rate evolves, which allows faster adaptation to the spatial variation in local temperature, causing a faster range expansion across the spatial gradient.
