Why are coral reefs home to a huge diverse variety of species?
a.coral reefs have all the factors necessary to support plants, predators, and prey.
b.coral reefs keep predators, such as sharks, away providing a safe habitat for fish.
c.the presence of sunlight keeps animals away, allowing a variety of plants to thrive. eliminate
d.as deep ocean habitats, coral reefs provide a safe habitat for a variety of species.

They form the most productive ecosystem on the Earth proving to be a marine life haven.

hence, the correct answer is 'Option A'.

Answer

The location of a gene found here is at the short arm of chromosome 17 at the specific point of the short arm of 23.6 on the chromosome.

Meaning of the address 12p7.2

12- chromosome 12

p- short arm of chromosome 12

7.2- exact point of the short arm on chromosome 12. The position of the gene on the p or q arm. The position of a gene is based on a distinctive pattern of light and dark bands that appear when the chromosome is stained in a certain way.

These addresses allow scientist and doctors to have a quick and easy way to reference specific genes to where they are which gives insight into their location.
