Answer: D.  warmer ocean temperatures

Explanation:

The coral polyp is an organism which colonizes with other members of the same species to form coral reef of hard skeleton of calcium carbonate. These organisms forms a mutualistic relationship with the algae called as zooxanthellae. The algae share oxygen, food prepared after photosynthesis and also provides them with color and the algae obtains shelter from the coral population.

Coral bleaching is a phenomena of removal of the algal colony from the surface of the coral reef. This occurs due to the change in temperature of the oceanic water. The increase in the temperature of the oceanic water swells up the algae and this leads to the removal of the algal colony from the coral reef. The coral reef get exposed to the external water environment becomes white due to loss of the algal colony from the surface. This  is a kind of natural bleaching effect.

<span> D.all of the above

</span>

Mitochondria and chloroplasts have striking similarities to bacteria cells. They have their own DNA, which is separate from the DNA found in the nucleus of the cell. And both organelles use their DNA to produce many proteins and enzymes required for their function. A double membrane surrounds both mitochondria and chloroplasts, further evidence that each was ingested by a primitive host. The two organelles also reproduce like bacteria, replicating their own DNA and directing their own division.

4vir4ik [10]

The correct answer is option C, that is, have poor soils with little organic matter.  

In the tropical rain forests, only a thin covering of decaying organic matter is present. The majority of the tropical rainforest soils are comparatively poor in nutrients. The torrential rains and millions of years of weathering have washed the majority of nutrients out of the soil.  

In the tropical rain forests, the soils are generally poor in nutrients and all the nutrients are captivated in the living species. The soils in various regions of the tropical rain forests are laterite soils.
