(a)
To determine: The cause for formation of epilimnion, hypolimnion, and thermolimnion.
Introduction:
The lake is stratified into three layers epilimnion, hypolimnion, and thermolimnion. Epilimnion is the topmost layer of the lake. Thermolimnion is the middle layer; the depth of the thermolimnion is different during different times in a day. Hypolimnion is the lowermost layer in lake.
To determine: The reason why most of the fisheries live in regions where the three stratified layers are mixed with each other continuously by strong waves.
Introduction:
The lake is stratified into three layers on the basis of temperature difference epilimnion, hypolimnion, and thermolimnion. Epilimnion is the topmost layer of the lake. Thermolimnion is the middle layer and Hypolimnion is the lowermost layer in lake.
(b)
To determine: The microbial process that occurred in Lake Erie.
Introduction:
Algae are the photosynthetic microorganisms that utilize the sunlight to synthesize their own food. There are three types of pigments present in algae chlorophyll, carotenoids, and phycobilins.
To determine: The geochemical cycle involved and how the lake was brought back to life.
Introduction:
Algae are the photosynthetic microorganisms that utilize the sunlight to synthesize their own food. The algae are divided into different types based on their color such as red algae blue algae, yellow algae and green algae based on the type of pigments present. When the algae show overgrowth due to extra presence of nutrients it is called as algal bloom.

- Use the following information to answer the question(s) below. Martin Wikelski and L. Michael Romero (Body size, performance and fitness in Galápagos marine iguanas, Integrative and Comparative Biology 43 [2003]:376-86) measured the snout-to-vent (anus) length of Galápagos marine iguanas and observed the percent survival of different-sized animals, all of the same age. The graph shows the log snout-vent length (SVL, a measure of overall body size) plotted against the percent survival of these different size classes for males and females. Survival (%) 100- 80- 60- 40- 20- 0+ 1.9 T 2 2.1 2.2 2.3 2.4 2.5 2.6 2.7 Log SVL (mm) 19) Examine the figure above. What type of selection for body size appears to be occurring in these marine iguanas? A) directional selection B) stabilizing selection C) disruptive selection D) You cannot determine the type of selection from the above information. 3arrow_forward24) Use the following information to answer the question below. Researchers studying a small milkweed population note that some plants produce a toxin and other plants do not. They identify the gene responsible for toxin production. The dominant allele (T) codes for an enzyme that makes the toxin, and the recessive allele (t) codes for a nonfunctional enzyme that cannot produce the toxin. Heterozygotes produce an intermediate amount of toxin. The genotypes of all individuals in the population are determined (see table) and used to determine the actual allele frequencies in the population. TT 0.49 Tt 0.42 tt 0.09 Refer to the table above. Is this population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? A) Yes. C) No; there are more homozygotes than expected. B) No; there are more heterozygotes than expected. D) It is impossible to tell.arrow_forward30) A B CDEFG Refer to the accompanying figure. Which of the following forms a monophyletic group?
