Answer:
Biomagnification stands for Biological Magnification, which means the increase of contaminated substances or toxic chemicals that take place in the food chains. These substances often arise from intoxicated or contaminated environments. The contaminants include heavy metals namely mercury, arsenic, pesticides, and polychlorinated biphenyls compounds which are then taken up by organisms because of the food they consume or the intoxication of their environment.
Explanation:
"it is wat it is"- tik tok
This is true they are the products of photosynthesis and the reactants for aerobic respiration.
Dissolving doe not indicate or guarantee a chemical change. Most of the time it is a physical change.
Unchanged solid in a liquid does not even indicate any change.
Solid floating on top of liquid does not indicate any change, physical or chemical.
When a mixture creates a new compound (gas from mixing solid and liquid), there is a chemical change.
Answer:
A. the heterozygote advantage
Explanation:
Heterozygote advantage is the condition where the heterozygous individual has higher relative fitness than both homozygous dominant and homozygous recessive individual. This means that the heterozygote individual has higher chances of surviving than both the homozygous counterparts. Sickle cell anemia is a recessive inherited disorder in which oxygen carrying hemoglobin has an abnormal structure. Hence, the resultant RBCs are not spherical but have crescent sickle shape. The oxygen carrying capacity of such RBCs is drastically reduced but they are unaffected by malarial parasite due to their abnormal structure.
- A person with both the recessive genes for sickle cell would not be able to survive due to insufficient oxygen transport in body.
- A person with both the dominant genes would be free of sickle cell anemia but in case of malaria would not be able to survive as the normal RBCs would be hijacked by the parasite.
- A hetrerozygote would survive both in malaria and sickle cell condition since he has enough normal RBCs for oxygen transport but also has sickle cell RBCs which are unaffected by malarial parasite.
