The mangrove tree is an important foundation species in estuarine and coastal forests. when mangrove trees are removed, it results in a rapid build-up of acid sulfides in the soil and increases shoreline erosion. what is a likely impact of removal of mangroves from their habitat? a) the food web in the region would stabilize rapidly. b) the number of aquatic species would gradually increase. c) the sedimentation rate would increase and new hatcheries would form. d) inshore breeding areas would be affected and aquatic species would decline.

German cockroaches, bulging eyes, bu, are recessive to normal eyes, bu , and curved wings, cv, are recessive to straight wings, cv . both traits are encoded by autosomal genes that are linked. a cockroach has genotype bu bu cv cv, and the genes are in repulsion. which set of genes will be found in the most common gametes produced by this cockroach?

Sea levels are rising due to climate change while increasing numbers of people are moving into coastal areas. to accommodate more people, there has been increased construction of beachfront resorts and condominiums. how is this impacting sea turtle numbers and biodiversity and why? a. the increased human population in coastal areas has meant that more food is available to the turtles (e.g., dropped food, waste from restaurants), which has led to an increase in the numbers and diversity of sea turtles. b. there has been very little change in the numbers and biodiversity of sea turtles because the planet is so vast that they can simply relocate to less crowded beaches. c. this has resulted in a decrease in numbers and diversity of sea turtles because it is restricting available nesting sites, and hence reproduction. d. this has resulted in an increase in numbers and diversity of sea turtles because people are around to protect them from natural predators.
