Answer: Estuaries
Explanation:
Estuaries are areas where freshwater streams or rivers merge with the ocean. This mixing of waters with such different salt concentrations creates a very interesting and unique ecosystem. Microflora like algae, and macroflora, such as seaweeds, marsh grasses, and mangrove trees (only in the tropics), can be found here.
Answer:
Explanation:
Duchenne muscular dystrophy acts as a X-linked recessive disease. Which means the gene sits on the X chromosome, and you need two bad copies to show disease (for females) and one bad copy (to show in males).
Now from our knowledge, we know males are XY and females are XX. Males have only one copy of the X chromosome from their mother and one copy of the Y chromosome from their father, thus if they get the mutated version of the gene that causes this disease, they will get the disease. However, if a female has a mutated version of gene on one of the X chromosome, the other X chromosome could have a normal gene and that normal gene would take over and produce a normal phenotype/function.
Since, boys only have one X chromosome, if they get the mutated gene they will get the disease, whereas females have two X chromosome (so even if one copy is bad and the other is good, the good version can take over, however boys don't have this) thus mostly male children are affected by this.
The taxon that consists of one or more genera (plural form of genus) is the <u>family</u>.
Explanation:
According to the modern taxonomic classification system, there are eight major levels of division – Domain, Kingdom, Phyllum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species.
Family is the taxonomic order which comes next to the Order and before Genus and consists of one or more genus or genera but sharing a common attributes. The ancestral origin of the family members remains the same.
The kinds of families depend upon the Kingdoms and Orders in the taxonomy. Carl Linnaeus termed family as familia in his classification and divided the major plant groups or families as trees, palms, ferns etc.
Among the family of carnivores in animals, there are many genera like Canidae, Felidae Ursidae etc.
