Answer:

Protection

Explanation:

Tortoises, especially babies, can become easy prey. Because of how small they are when they are young and how slow they are when trying to escape it makes them an easy meal. Their shells protect them from anything trying to crush or eat it.

Which statement best summarizes "Save the Coral Reefs”?Coral reefs are a very important component of the ocean’s ecosystem becau

cupoosta [38]

Answer;

-Coral reefs are a very important component of the ocean’s ecosystem because they support sea life, such as crabs and sea turtles. In fact, over four thousand species depend on the survival of the reefs, which are being destroyed by bleaching. More must be done immediately to save the reefs.

Explanation;

-Coral reefs are important for many different reasons aside from supposedly containing the most diverse ecosystems on the planet.

-They protect coastlines from the damaging effects of wave action and tropical storms ( they provide a buffer, protecting our coasts from waves, storms, and floods, helping to prevent loss of life, property damage, and erosion) and also provide habitats and shelter for many marine organisms.

The ABO blood group assorts independently of the Rhesus (Rh) blood group and the MN blood group. Three alleles, IA , IB , and i,

Eva8 [605]

Answer:

Part 1:

The mother’s genotype is ii, rr, MN

The father’s genotype is IAIA/IAi, Rr, MM

Part 2:

Approximately 1/32 (3.125%) of children can be expected to have the stated blood types.

Explanation:

Part 1:

The mother has blood types 0, Rh- and MN. Therefore, her genotype has to be ii, rr, MN.

The father has ABO type A. His ABO genotype may therefore be either IAIA or IAi, as both are compatible with type A offspring with a type 0 mother. His Rh genotype must be rr, since his Rh- child necessarily has to have inherited one r allele from each parent. Finally, his MN genotype has to be MM since both alleles are codominant.

Part 2:

Using the given data, we build the following Punnett chart:

IA R N IA r N i R N i r N

IA R M

IA R N

IA r M

IA r N

IB R M

IB R N

IB r M X

IB r N

Note that, of all 32 possible combinations, only a single one of them (marked with “X” produces a genotype which matches the desired blood type, as follows:

genotype: IBi, rr, MN

blood type: B, Rh-, MN

Parland’s alligator population has been declining in recent years, primarily because of hunting. Alligators prey heavily on a sp

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

The ecosystems are complex systems, and removing one species of them, always has a chain reaction and affects the population of the other species, be it in a positive or negative manner. In this case, the alligators prey upon fish, multiple different species. The alligators though have been removed from the ecosystem, thus the apex predator exists no more. This has opened up the top predator niche in the food chain in this particular ecosystem. The predatory fish species had no predators of its own, so its population increased, thus it needed more food, and that food was obtained by hunting the other fish species, resulting in a decline in the population of the other species of fish. Only when the carrying capacity is reached in the ecosystem for the predatory fish, the population of the other fish will stop declining.
