Linked genes are genes that select one: a. assort independently. b. segregate equally in the gametes during meiosis. c. always contribute the same trait to the zygote. d. are found on the same chromosome. e. recombine during mitosis.

d. are found on the same chromosome

Explanation:

Linked genes are genes that sit close together on the same chromosome, this closeness makes higher the probability to inherit them together, meaning they won't follow Mendelian inheritance. Considering this information we can conclude that the correct answer is d. are found on the same chromosome.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

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

one would be wind another would be water density
