Answer:
Their survival is correlated to water clarity because kelp, the main food of otters' prey (sea urchins), needs clear water to thrive.
Explanation:
Otters are extremely important organisms, also known as "<em>keystone</em>" species. They keep aquatic ecosystems healthy because they control other populations such as sea urchin populations that consume kelp, sometimes in excess.
For this reason, otters prefer inhabiting near the kelp, which generally grows in clear waters near shores. They also prey on crabs, marine snails, squid, etc. as they possess the ability to dive as deep as 250 feet.
Therefore, their survival is correlated to water clarity because kelp, the main food of otters' prey (sea urchins), needs clear water to thrive.
Oceanic-continental convergence occurs when an oceanic plate and a continental plate converge. They are pushed together and the oceanic plate is forced to go under the continental plate. So based on the diagram, this convergence occurred in letter B.
Oceanic-oceanic convergence occurs when two oceanic plates collide into one another. The oceanic plate that is older, denser and/or colder will be the plate that will go under the other. It will be forced down into the mantle. So in our diagram, this occurs in letter A.
Continental-continental convergence occurs when two continental plates converge. In this case, the plates push up against each other and create mountain ranges. Unlike the other two, they do not sink down, the movement is upwards. This occurs in the area C of your diagram.
Yes, they do since the images show how weak the winds are.
The fraction of offspring with black coat color and straight fur is 9/16.
Explanation:
Information given:
black coat colour and straight fur - dominant genotype BBCC, BbCc
yellow coat colour and curly fur - recessive genotype bbcc
Both the traits are independently assorted. The fur colour and fur type is not present on the same chromosome and are not sex linked.
The genotype of the parents are:
BbCc X BbCc
Punnet square shows:
BC Bc bC bc
BC BBCC BBCc BbCC BbCc
Bc BBCc BBcc BbCc Bbcc
bC BbCC BbCc bbCC bbCc
bc BbCc Bbcc bbCc bbcc
9 BLACK STRAIGHT
3 BLACK CURLY
3 YELLOW STRAIGHT
1 YELLOW CURLY
9/16 is the fraction of progeny to be black coat colour and straight fur.
The altered protein affected the function of the cell membrane. The cell membrane which contain a bilayer control the movement of substance in and out of the cell and organelles. Due to this it is selective permeable to ion and organic molecules.
