In what organisms are you referring to?
An algal bloom affects the whole ecosystem. Consequences range from the benign feeding of higher trophic levels, to more harmful effects like blocking sunlight from reaching other organisms, causing a depletion of oxygen levels in the water, and, depending on the organism, secreting toxins into the water.
The correct answer is - 5:35 PM on Friday.
The low tides, as well as the high tides, occur two times in a lunar day, on exactly every half a lunar day passed. A lunar day is 24 hours and 50 minutes long, so every next low tide, or high tide, appears after 12 hours and 25 minutes after the previous one. In this situation we have a low tide that has appeared at 5:10 AM on Friday, so in order to calculate when the other low tide will appear we need to add 12 hours and 25 minutes on it, and that will gives the information that the next low tide will appear at 5:35 PM on Friday.
Answer:
resource partitioning
Explanation:
Based on the scenario being described within the question it can be said that this is an example of resource partitioning. This term refers to when a species divides the limited resources in order to avoid competition within it's environment. Such as the two species of mice are doing by feeding in on the same resources at different times in order to avoid competition and conflict between each other. Thus allowing them to co-exist within the same environment.
Answer:
The correct answer is: B. If he inherited a mutation which made him more susceptible to lung cancer, it may have been present in some of the gametes he produced and passed to his children.
Explanation:
- The inheritance of genes from the parents to the offspring is mediated by the germinal cells or sex cells or gametes of the parents.
- The genetic material present in the somatic cells of the parents are not transmitted to the offspring.
- In the given case, the man who develops lung cancer generates some tobacco smoke induced mutations in some of the cells of his lungs.
- The cells of the lungs are type up of somatic cells. Hence, any mutations in the genome of these cells will never be transmitted to the offspring.
- Therefore, the children of the man will never become prone to develop lung cancer due to development of mutations in the lung cells of the man.
- However, if the man has inherited any mutation from his parents which can increase the risk of development of lung cancer, then these mutations will be present in his germinal cells and also in some of his gametes.
- Now, if a child is born due to the fusion of the the maternal gamete with one of these mutated paternal gametes, there is an increased chance of developing lung cancer in the child, irrespective of the fact whether he is a smoker or a non-smoker.
