Answer:
Oxygen.
Explanation:
Oxygen molecule that is produced in the light dependent reactions. This shutting down of linear electron flow greatly affected the production of oxygen. Photosystem II gains replacement electrons from splitting of water molecules into hydrogen ions (H+) and oxygen atoms so if the electron flow is disturbed then oxygen production is greatly affected.
Answer:
c. Physical adaptations to the environment drive the distribution of all three species in the wild.
Explanation:
Options A and B refer to competition between species. The experiment was about the colonizing ability of the three species, and not the interaction among them. So these two options are not correct.
Option D states that species A is better adapted to the upper intertidal zone than the middle or lower. But the table shows that species A is equally adapted to colonize upper and middle intertidal zone, and less adapted to colonize lower zones.
The correct option is C. When these competing species coexist, this is because of niche partitioning or niche differentiation. If there is not any differentiation between them, the dominant species displaces the weak species. In the exposed example, the three species coexist in the middle and lower zones, which means that they probably have different niches and got adapted to living to their environments. This adaptation to different conditions is what leads to their distribution.
In the exposed example, species A and B can live in the upper intertidal zone, where species C can not live because they can not tolerate environmental conditions. The three species can live in the middle zone, but still, A and B are more adapted to this area than C. Among A and B, B is the most adapted to living in the upper and middle zones. Species C seems to be very adapted to live in the lower intertidal zone, where species A and B can also live, but are less adapted to this area, probably due to environmental conditions or due to their vulnerability to predation. In this last area, species A is less adapted.
Because meiosis only has half of the genes.
In mitosis, the cell produced will have an exact number of chromosome like the parent cells. But in meiosis, only half of the chromosome will be given. That will make many variations since the chromosome is split in random. The process to split the gene doesn't include a process to making it move in the same manner so the gene position can be changed in the different case.
