How is salinity affected

A/ evaporation increases

B/ freezing increases

C/ melting increases

D/ precipitation increases

The earth is comprised of about 70% of water, of which more than 95% is saline in nature. This salinity of ocean water increases with the increasing rate of evaporation. As the water evaporates in the region where there are abundant salt concentrations, only the salt particles are being left out. This saline water is denser than the freshwater. The salinity of the ocean water is again counterbalanced by the occurrence of other processes such as precipitation, fresh water from the rivers and melting of ice in the polar region.

So, salinity can be affected in the following conditions as given below-

(A) Salinity is directly proportional to the rate of evaporation.

(B) Salinity is inversely proportional to the rate of freezing.

(C) Salinity is inversely proportional to the rate of melting.

(D) Salinity is inversely proportional to the rate of precipitation.

both male and female gametes are produced by meiosis of the germ cells. therefore, both male and female gametes are haploid. one male and one female gamete unite during the fertilization to form the diploid zygote. in seed bearing plants, pollen grain is the male gametophyte, which produces sperm cells.

the correct answer is b
