Answer:

The layers are defined primarily by the "lapse rate", or change in temperature with increasing altitude. The lapse rate is negative (temperature falls) in the troposphere, but positive (temperature rises) in the stratosphere. Temperatures decrease again when ascending into the Mesosphere.

ANSWER ASAP: Dead zones are caused largely by the input of agricultural fertilizers that stimulate phytoplankton blooms, which d
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

Less oxygen dissolved in the water is often referred to as a “dead zone” because most marine life either dies, or, if they are mobile such as fish, leave the area. Habitats that would normally be teeming with life become, essentially, biological deserts.

Hypoxic zones can occur naturally, but scientists are concerned about the areas created or enhanced by human activity. There are many physical, chemical, and biological factors that combine to create dead zones, but nutrient pollution is the primary cause of those zones created by humans. Excess nutrients that run off land or are piped as wastewater into rivers and coasts can stimulate an overgrowth of algae, which then sinks and decomposes in the water. The decomposition process consumes oxygen and depletes the supply available to healthy marine life.

Dead zones occur in coastal areas around the nation and in the Great Lakes — no part of the country or the world is immune. The second largest dead zone in the world is located in the U.S., in the northern Gulf of Mexico.

Define heterozygous and provide and example
valentinak56 [21]

Definition:

Having two different alleles of a particular gene or genes.

(an Allele is a variant form of a gene.)

Simplification:

If the organism has one copy of two different alleles, it is heterozygous.

Eg: T and t

<em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em>(</em><em>T</em><em> </em><em>for </em><em>tall</em><em> </em><em>and</em><em> </em><em>t</em><em> </em><em>for</em><em> </em><em>short</em><em>)</em>

Example:

<u><em>Pea</em><em> </em><em>Plants</em></u>

Pea plants can have red flowers and either be homozygous dominant (red-red), or heterozygous (red-white). If they have white flowers, then they are homozygous recessive (white-white). Carriers are always heterozygous.
