Pesticides, such as DDT, often have harmful effects on aquatic ecosystems. One harmful effect would be that these pesticidesA) cause fish to become sterile and unable to lay eggs.
Eliminate
B) cause algae and plants to overgrow and pollute the water when they die.
C) accumulate in animals and build up in toxic concentrations as they pass through the food chain.
D) eliminate most of the algae and plants in the food chain, causing animals to starve, at higher levels of the food chain.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

C

Pesticides, such as DDT, often have harmful effects on aquatic ecosystems because they accumulate in animals and build up in toxic concentrations as they pass through the food chain. This is referred to as bioaccumulation.

Explanation:

As the DDT is ingested it accumulates in the body tissues because the body of the organisms is unable to break down and excrete the chemicals fast enough or at all. This bioaccumulation also goes up the food chain/web as higher organisms prey on the lower organism on the web. For example, the aphids feed on the leaves sprayed with DDT. They are then preyed on by beetles and flies and bugs. These bugs are then eaten by birds. Eventually, the DDT will be found in the tissues of the birds, even in higher concentrations (due to biomagnification).

How do you use a Punnett square to develop a proportion to predict the variability of offspring in a certain cross?

Answers

A Punnett square can used to predict the variability of offspring in a certain cross by combining the combining the genotypes of the parents:
The genotype of the parents are written on the top row and on the first column. As an example, for hair texture trait, curly hair is dominant and straight hair is recessive.
One parent has the genotype CC (pure curly haired) while the other parent has the genotype Cc (hybrid curly haired). The Punnett square is shown below. The combination of the genotypes predict the possible offspring.

What might hershy and chase have concluded if they had found 35s instead of 35p in bacterial cells? Explain your answer

Answers

Hershey and chase have concluded that DNA is not protein it was the genetic material.

Explanation:

Hershey and chase said that DNA is not protein it was the genetic material. They took a direct physical approach in finding the genetic material. They both determined that a protective coat was formed around the bacteriophage.

The internal DNA is not a protein, a genetic material. They used label to find it. The lack of 32p labeled DNA remaining in solution after bacteriohages are allowed to absorb the bacteria showed tha DNA was transferred into the bacterial cell.

The radioactive 35s in the solution shows that protein coat protects the DNA before adsorption.

They would have concluded that the protein coat also entered the bacterial cell and could not deduce that protein is the genetic material.

Explanation:

In their experiment, Hershey and chase found that all the DNA coated with 32 p were missing from the solution as bacteriophage after adsorption on bacterial cell their DNA was transferred to the bacterial cell. The presence of 32 S in the solution shows that the protein coat does not enter the cell during infection.

This way they concluded that DNA is the genetic material and not the protein.

Since phage infecting bacteria inserted their DNA into it and got replicated increasing their number. Also, protein is not involved in their growing numbers.

Which subphylum retains all chordate characteristics, even in the adult forms Urochordata, cephalochordate, vertebrata

Answers

The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "Urochordata." Lancelets have all chordate characteristics and segmentation in the adult. Tunicates (Sea Squirts), Subphylum: Urochordata Gill slits are the only chordate feature retained by the adult form.

How does the environment select organisms?

Answers

The process in which the environment selects organisms that will survive is called natural selection. It starts with overproduction; when an organism produces more offpsrings than can survive. The second is variation. Because there are so many offsprings, there will be variations. The third step is selection. When the actual "selection" occurs. If the variation is helpful to survive, then it gets passed down. This is the fourth step: adaptation when it is passed down to offsprings for generations.
