Soil erosion is a huge problem affecting human sustainability because soil is so crucial in
growing food. True or false ?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:  True

Healthy top soil is needed to grow crops, which in turn some of it becomes food. Erosion is the process in which top soil is carried away by the wind or rain water (depositing it into nearby lakes or streams). Without this top soil, farming becomes more difficult and crop yields likely decrease. In some cases, no crops can be grown at all. An extreme example of soil erosion, specifically wind-driven soil erosion, is the 1930s dust bowl during the Great Depression. This occurred due to over-farming and it led to massive dust storms. In turn, it caused many farmers to leave the area.

According to the diagram how are the three components
of a nucleotide important to the structure of DNA?

Answers

Answer:

A nucleotide of DNA is made up of three parts: a nitrogenous base, a 5-carbon sugar, and a phosphate group. The four nitrogenous bases in DNA are adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine.

The phosphate group linked with deoxyribose sugar to make the framework for the nitrogenous bases. The phosphate group and sugar molecule make the DNA backbone and support it. These backbones hold nitrogenous bases and make a monomer of DNA. Nitrogenous bases make DNA stable and hold both backbones together. These bases also make DNA functional.

Answer the following questions: How would you rate your support for the factory if you lived 50 miles away from its planned location? How would you rate your support for the factory if you only lived one mile away from its planned location?

Answers

Answer:i would rate it 4/5

Explanation:if it is going to cause minor amounts of air pollution within a two mile radius and you live 50 miles away the air pollution wont harm you

If I live 50 miles away from the planned location then I would rate 10/10 for the planning but if I live  within one mile then I will rate only 2/10.

If I am living 50 miles away i will not be affected by the pollution caused by the factory rather I will be gained by the facilities provided by the factory.

But if I am within one meter of the factory location then I have to face the pollution caused by it , which is going to effect my health condition. so I will rate it lesser.

Answers

Answer:

Related organisms always appear identical in embryonic stages.

Explanation:

Embryos of organisms that have a closer genetic relationship to one another tend to look similar for a longer period of time since they share a more recent common ancestor.

Hand = 75%

No hand = 25%

Explanation:

It's the same thing as last time. Since 3 of them are heterozygous and have 1 dominant allele, they have the dominant trait. And since one of them only has recessive alleles then it should have the recessive traits.

So the hand should have 75% and no hand has 25%.

100% of the offspring would be black fur, black eyes (16/16)

Explanation:

(Because the info. wasn't included here, I'm assuming black fur and black eyes are dominant, BBEE, to the recessive white fur and red eyes, bbee)

For BBEE x bbee, you'd create a typical dihybrid true-breeding punnett square , where the first top row would be BE , BE, BE , BE , and the vertical/side row would be be, be, be, be.

Cross these alleles as you would typically for any punnett square, and you'd see that all the offpsring would result in BbEe genotypes, which is true of any true-breeding dominant x recessive cross, which always results in the dominant phenotype being 100%.

So...

Black Fur and Black Eyes : 16/16 (100%)

Black Fur and Red Eyes: 0/16

White Fur and Black Eyes: 0/16

White Fur and Red Eyes: 0/16

birth defects due to radiation are a concern also. why is a fetus especially at risk?​

Answers

a fetus is especially at risk because they are under developed and easily susceptible to sicknesses or radiation

Of the babies that survive, however, few will have birth defects related to the exposure, regardless of how much radiation they were exposed to. Large radiation doses to the fetus during the more sensitive stages of development (between weeks 2 and 18 of pregnancy) can cause birth defects, especially to the brain.

The difference in the chromosome arrangement during meiosis in the metaphase plate can lead to greater genetic diversity in a population. Explain your answer

Answers

Explanation:

Like mitosis, meiosis is a form of eukaryotic cell division. However, these two processes distribute genetic material among the resulting daughter cells in very different ways. Mitosis creates two identical daughter cells that each contain the same number of chromosomes as their parent cell. In contrast, meiosis gives rise to four unique daughter cells, each of which has half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Because meiosis creates cells that are destined to become gametes (or reproductive cells), this reduction in chromosome number is critical — without it, the union of two gametes during fertilization would result in offspring with twice the normal number of chromosomes!

Apart from this reduction in chromosome number, meiosis differs from mitosis in yet another way. Specifically, meiosis creates new combinations of genetic material in each of the four daughter cells. These new combinations result from the exchange of DNA between paired chromosomes. Such exchange means that the gametes produced through meiosis exhibit an amazing range of genetic variation.

Finally, unlike mitosis, meiosis involves two rounds of nuclear division, not just one. Despite this fact, many of the other events of meiosis are similar to those that occur in mitosis. For example, prior to undergoing meiosis, a cell goes through an interphase period in which it grows, replicates its chromosomes, and checks all of its systems to ensure that it is ready to divide. Like mitosis, meiosis also has distinct stages called prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. A key difference, however, is that during meiosis, each of these phases occurs twice — once during the first round of division, called meiosis I, and again during the second round of division, called meiosis II.

Which of the following will most likely result if all of the primary consumers are removed from this ecosystem?

Answers

Answer:

Secondary consumers will lower in numbers and the producers (plants) will be overabundant.

Explanation:

Okay so secondary consumers eat the primary consumers and the primary consumers eat the producers (plants). If there are no primary consumers, there is no one eating the plants which will lead to the producer population growing because there's less stopping them from growing in numbers. The secondary consumers will be in trouble because the secondary consumers don't eat plants. If there are no primary consumers, the secondary consumers won't be able to eat and the numbers of secondary consumers will decrease.

Therefore, the fact that both humans and baboons share the downward-facing nostril orientation is an example of

Answers

Answer:

a shared derived trait.

Explanation:

Genetics can be defined as the scientific study of hereditary in living organisms such as humans, animals and plants.

Simply stated, a trait refers to the specific features or characteristics possessed by a living organism. It is essentially transferred from the parent of a living organism to her offspring and as such distinguishes him or her.

Heredity refers to the transfer of traits (specific characteristics) from the parent of a living organism to her offspring through sexual reproduction or asexual production. Some examples of hereditary traits are dimples, tongue rolling, baldness, weight, handedness, freckles, curly hair, hair color, blindness, complexion, height, etc.

All humans and baboons are created having noses with nostrils underneath i.e facing downwards but other primates such as platyrrhines have their nostrils facing sideways (face out to the side). Also, humans and baboons shared close similarities with each other when compared than they share with the primates having a outward-facing nostrils.

This ultimately implies that, both humans and baboons sharing the downward-facing nostril orientation is an example of a shared derived trait.

A shared derived trait can be defined as a trait or characteristic that is shared between two lineages and subsequently evolves leading up to a clade, which is a distinguishing feature from other species.

Therefore, they are likely to be _____ by the competitive market. nonrival; excludable; underprovided nonrival; nonexcludable; underprovided rival; excludable; efficiently provided nonrival; nonexcludable; overprovided

Answers

Answer:

nonrival; nonexcludable; underprovided.

Explanation:

In a perfect competition, there are many buyers and sellers of homogeneous products, and there is free entry and exit in the market.

This simply means that, in a perfectly competitive market, there are many buyers and sellers (price takers) of homogeneous products (standardized products with substitute) and the market is free (practically open) to all individuals or business entities that are willing to trade all their goods and services.

Generally, a perfectly competitive market is characterized by the following features;

1. Perfect information.

2. No barriers, it is typically free.

3. Equilibrium price and quantity.

4. Many buyers and sellers.

5. Homogeneous products.

A substitute product can be defined as a product that a consumer sees as an alternative to another product and as such would offer similar benefits or satisfaction to the consumer.

For substitute products (goods), the cross-price elasticity of demand is always positive because the demand of a product increases when the price of its close substitute (alternative) increases.

A nonexcludable good simply means that it's near impossible for a user to effectively exclude others from using the good. Thus, each and every individual have access and can use the goods.

Basically, all public goods such as streetlights are nonrival and nonexcludable goods.

Similarly, nonrival goods refer to goods that can be accessed, processed and consumed (used) by multiple consumers at a specific period of time.

Additionally, any good that is nonrival and nonexcludable is said to be a public good.

In this scenario, most neighborhood streets are illuminated at night by streetlights. The streetlights are nonrival and nonexcludable. Therefore, they are likely to be underprovided by the competitive market and this is generally considered to be a market failure.

Hence, a market failure arises when there is inefficiency in the distribution or allocation of goods and services in a free market.

This ultimately implies that, the demand of the consumer of these goods and services are not being met with the level of supply (output) required i.e the forces of demand and supply are not efficient in producing the level of output required by the economy. Some of the causes of market failure are imperfect information, monopoly, oligopoly, externalities, etc.
