Apopulation of snails exhibits two morphotypes- (i) dominant dark color [dd an dd], and (ii) recessive light color [dd].you observe in a population produces 25% homozygous dominant, 43% heterozygous, and 32% homozygous recessive. if there were 100 individuals in the population, how many dominant alleles are present in the entire population

132

explanation:

12

answer: - few nutrients

high pressure

low temperatures

explanation: 1. few nutrients:   open-ocean zone is located way far from the land, which is the main source of the essential nutrients.2. high pressure: pressure increases by 1 atmosphere for every 10 meters increase in depth.3. ample sunlight: a large fraction of the sunlight is reflected back to the atmosphere from the sea surface. 4. varying salinity: below the thermocline, the water is isolated from the atmosphere so the salinity remains stable over the year.5. low temperatures:   the temperature of open-ocean zone ranges from a low of -2°c to an average of 17°c
