How do coral reefs help with climate stability?

Biology
1 answer:
DedPeter [7]2 years ago
4 0

The coral reefs help with climate stability because they serve as homes for species that build exoskeletons from carbon.

Carbon in the form of carbon dioxide has been reported to be a major factor in the climate instability of the planet. This is because they are parts of the greenhouse gases that form a blanket layer over the atmosphere and prevent reflected sun rays from escaping back to space.

Thus, greenhouse gases cause the earth's atmosphere to warm up, a phenomenon known as global warming. The warming, in turn, leads to the unpredictability of several climatic factors.

With the majority of the species living in coral reefs helping to make use of carbon dioxide to build their exoskeleton, they are helping to reduce the concentration of the gas in the atmosphere and thereby reducing warming and erratic climatic changes.

100 POINTS! A hypothetical population of 10,000 humans has 6840 individuals with the blood type AA, 2860 individuals with blood
nikdorinn [45]
Here's what we know:
10,000 individuals
6,840 individuals have blood type AA
2,860 individuals have blood type AB
300 individuals have blood type BB

AA genotype frequency: 68.4%
AB genotype frequency: 28.6%
BB genotype frequency: 3%

The A allele occurs 6,840 * 2 + 2,860 * 1 = <span>16,540 times, which is a frequency of 82.7%, meaning the B allele occurs 3,460 times, which is a frequency of 17.3%. In the next generation, 3%, or 750, individuals would have blood type BB.</span>

What is true about the lagging strand during DNA replication?
BlackZzzverrR [31]

There are not only one but two correct option, which are A and B.

DNA polymerases begin their synthesis at many points of initiation. Following the binding of specific proteins, the double helix opens to allow startup.


DNA synthesis begins on RNA / DNA primers consisting of primase and DNA polymerase a. The replication continues in one direction: in this sense one of the two strands of the DNA ("direct" strand) is traversed by the enzyme in the 3 '→ 5' direction, which allows the synthesis of another strand in the direction 5 '→ 3'. The DNA-ligases then provide the link between the different fragments of the new DNA.


The synthesis of the other strand ("delayed" strand) is more complex because the enzyme travels this strand from 5 '→ 3'. The primase and DNA polymerase α synthesize 30 nucleotide primers in front of the replication zone, and the DNA polymerase constructs small DNA fragments in the 5 '→ 3' direction (approximately 200 nucleotides; Okazaki). Ribonucleases destroy the RNA / DNA primers of the previous fragment and the fragments are then linked together by DNA ligase.

having free earlobes is a dominant trait in humans, and having attached earlobes is recessive. a father has the genotype ff, and
k0ka [10]

A phenotype is a physical characteristic which is visible. Hence when the resulting combinations have two dominant alleles or even one dominant allele, the dominant characteristic is exhibited. The recessive characteristic is exhibited only when both the alleles are recessive.

To find the ratio of phenotypes, we need to place the genotype of the father and mother in a grid form ( attached grid figure)

Here we have two Ff phenotypes which is dominant and two ff phenotypes which is recessive

Hence the ratio is 2:2 or 1:1
