Answer:

As lionfish populations grow, they put additional stress on coral reefs. For example, lionfish eat herbivores, and herbivores eat algae from coral reefs. Without herbivores, algal growth goes unchecked, which can be detrimental to the health of coral reefs.

Answer:

The lionfish are eating other consumers, so the native consumer populations are dwindling. This decrease can have a ripple effect. Larger predatory animals may not have enough food to eat because the native species are decreasing.

We identify nucleic acid strand orientation on the basis of important chemical functional groups. These are the _________ group

Alina [70]

Answer: Option B) phosphate; hydroxyl; 3'

We identify nucleic acid strand orientation on the basis of important chemical functional groups. These are the phosphate group attached to the 5' carbon atom of the sugar portion of a nucleotide and the hydroxyl group attached to the 3'

carbon atom

Explanation:

For both RNA and DNA, chemical groups such as phosphate (PO3-) attaches to the 5' carbon of the pentose sugar (deoxyribose in DNA, ribose in RNA).

While hydroxyl group (OH) attaches to the 3' carbon atom of the pentose sugar.

Thus, a nucleic acid structure structure reveals a several repeating units of nucleotides where nitrogenous base links to a pentose sugar, who in turns is linked to phosphate group

Categorize the given minerals into metallic and non-metallic minerals?

tangare [24]

Iron, Gold, Aluminum, Sapphires and Copper are the metallic minerals while Quartz, Calcite, Diamond, Rubies, Emerald, Topaz, Coal and Petroleum are the non-metallic minerals.

<h3>What are minerals?</h3>

Mineral is a chemical compound which is normally crystalline in nature. It is a solid substance present in nature made up of one or more and elements which are combined together.

It is formed as a result of geological processes . For example it includes quartz, calcite, sulphur, clay minerals etc. Minerals are used in the production of ceramics oftenly.

Properties of minerals :

1. They have characteristic chemical composition

2. They have highly ordered atomic structures

3. They have several physical properties such as hardness, luster and cleavage.

Thus, Iron, Gold, Aluminum, Sapphires and Copper are the metallic minerals while Quartz, Calcite, Diamond, Rubies, Emerald, Topaz, Coal and Petroleum are the non-metallic minerals.

Which field(s) are created by an electron when it moves?

KATRIN_1 [288]

The answers are "<span>gravitational, electric, and magnetic fields." When too electrons rub against each other that creates a electric field. Electrons often stick together which causes a gravitational, and sometimes magnetic fields.

Consider a cross between a man with an X-linked recessive disorder and a woman that's a carrier for the disorder. Approximately

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

50%

Explanation:

Let's assume that the X linked allele "a" gives the disorder. Therefore, the genotype of the affected man would be X^aY while the genotype of the carrier woman would be X^aX. A cross between X^aY man and X^aX woman would produce progeny in following phenotype ratio: 1 affected daughter: 1 affected son: 1 normal but carrier daughter: 1 normal son.

Therefore, there are 50% chances that their children can express the disorder.
