Answer:
Coal is mined in two different ways: from deep underground and in
strip mines. In both cases the land that is mined is leased by the coal companies, while the ownership remains in public hands. Deep mines are reached through a shaft into the ground, through which miners gain access to the coal seam and out of which comes the coal. Strip mines are used when the coal seam is near the surface. The topsoil and other overburden materials are removed by giant power shovels and piled out of the way. The shovels then dig out the coal. After the coal has been mined, there may be environmental reclamation to return the land to its original state, thus allowing others continued use of it for their own purposes. This involves refilling the hole, spreading topsoil, and then planting new vegetation on it.
The TAS2R38 gene encodes a receptor protein that influences the ability to taste bitterness. The gene has two alleles: a dominant, wild-type allele that enables an individual (taster) to taste bitterness and a recessive, mutant allele that interferes with the ability of an individual (nontaster) to taste bitterness. In a sample of 2,400 people, 1,482 were found to have the dominant (taster) phenotype. Assuming that the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, approximately how many individuals in the sample are expected to be heterozygous for TAS2R38
Answer:
The correct answer is - 1133.
Explanation:
According to H-W equilibrium;
p2 +2pq + q2 = 1 ........... eq.1 and
(p+q)2 = 1 ..............eq.2
Here q = frequency of the recessive allele,
and p = frequency of the dominant allele in the population
The genotype of p2 + 2pq shows the dominant(taster) phenotype.
The genotype of q2 shows the recessive(non-taster) phenotype.
q^2 = (2400 - 1482)/2400
= 0.3825
= 0.618
using eq. 2 we get p= 1-q
=0.382
2pq = No. of heterozygotes/2400
No. of heterozygotes = 1133.1648

Explanation:
Okay, so the female's eyes will be Xx because she carries it and I am not sure if the male is a carrier as well or not so if he is it will be Xx on the top and Xx on the side of the male is not then it will be XX and Xx and it does not matter which is on top which is on the bottom. If the male is a carrier then the outcomes will be XX, Xx, Xx, xx so they will have a 1:4 chance of getting white eyes if the male is NOT a carrier then it will be XX+Xx = XX, XX, Xx, Xx with no chances of having white eyes

Why Poaching is illegal?Poaching is the act of illegally killing an animal. The very prominent subject of poaching is the rhino, some species of which are now virtually extinct due to extensive illegal hunting. However, many other animals are also poached. For example, elephants are poached for the ivory in their tusks. Tigers are poached as trophy animals or for traditional medicine. Sea turtles and lemurs also suffer a similar fate for similar reasons.
Thus, option "D" is correct.

The stages of mitosis were originally defined by cellular features observable through a light microscope.
a. True
b. False
Answer: TRUE
Explanation:
The cell division that takes place during the growth and development of an organism is in an as MITOSIS. Mitosis takes place in somatic cells that is, body cells that are not involved in the production of gametes. The difference stages of mitosis were originally defined by cellular features observable through a LIGHT MICROSCOPE. These stages includes:
--> PROPHASE: when viewed under a light microscope, each chromosome shortens and thickens and is seen to consist of two chromatids. The Centriole begin to separate.
--> METAPHASE: The nuclear membrane disappears, a spindle forms, the chromosomes line up across the middle of the cell and become attached to the spindle fibres at their centromeres.
--> ANAPHASE: The sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite ends of cell as the spindle fibres contract.
--> TELOPHASE: A nuclear membrane forms around each set of chromatids, and the cell divides into two daughter cells.
Which of the following is an example of genomic imprinting in humans? Which of the following is an example of genomic imprinting in humans? A random pattern of autosomal allele inactivation is observed. In some allele pairs, only the paternal sourced allele is expressed, and in others, only the maternal sourced allele is expressed. The maternal and paternal alleles of a gene pair are both expressed. Human males have only one Y-chromosome and one X-chromosome. One of the two X-chromosomes in females is randomly expressed and the other is repressed.
Answer:
In some allele pairs, only the paternal sourced allele is expressed, and in others, only the maternal sourced allele is expressed.
Explanation:
Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic phenomenon where alleles are differentially expressed depending on their parental origin (for example, paternally expressed when it is inherited from the father). Genomic imprinting is controlled by epigenetic modifications (for example, DNA methylation, histone acetylation, etc) which works together to preferentially activate the expression of the allele inherited from one parent and simultaneously silence or “imprint” the expression of the allele inherited from the other parent. In humans, an example of genomic imprinting is the case of the insulin-like growth factor 2 (Igf2) gene, which is maternally imprinted (repressed), thereby this gene is only expressed from the paternal allele.

Answer:
It would be sex linked.

In the logistic growth model, as a population approaches the carrying capacity, what happens to its growth rate?
A
becomes exponential
B
doubles
C
increases
D
slows to zero
In the logistic growth model, as a population approaches the carrying capacity, the growth rate of the population will slow down to zero. Thus, the correct option is D.
What is Logistic growth model?The logistic growth model is a parameter which represents the rate at which the population would grow if it were unencumbered by the environmental degradation. A second parameter, that is K, represents the carrying capacity of the system of species which are being studied.
In logistic growth, a population's per capita growth rate gets smaller and smaller as the population size when it approaches a maximum imposed by the limited resources in the environment, known as the carrying capacity (K). Exponential growth model produces a J-shaped curve, while logistic growth produces an S-shaped curve.
Therefore, the correct option is D.

5. What does EGS stand for in geothermal energy?
A) Engraved Geothermal System
B) Enhanced Geothermal System
C) Exhaust Gas System
D) Engineered Geophysical System
(EGS) stands Enhanced Geothermal Systems which can greatly increase geothermal energy utilization. Therefore, option (B) is correct.
What is EGS?Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS), which are also referred to as engineered geothermal systems on occasion, present a significant opportunity for significantly broadening the application of geothermal energy.
In an EGS, fluid is injected into the subsurface under conditions that are carefully regulated. This causes previously closed cracks to reopen, which in turn creates permeability in the rock. The increased permeability of the rock makes it possible for fluid to move freely within the newly fractured rock and for heat to be transported to the surface, where it can be used to create electricity.

g It was noted in the Experimental Pathways feature in Section 10.4 that at least two- thirds of the human genome is derived from transposable elements. The actual number could be much higher, but it is impossible to make a determination about the origin of many other sequences. Why do you suppose it is difficult to make assignments about the origin of many of the sequences in the human genome
Answer:
TEs are repetitive and mobile elements, thereby it is hard to trace their origins
Explanation:
Repetitive elements are patterns of nucleotide sequences in the DNA characterized to have multiple copies throughout the genome. DNA mini-satellite and Transposable Elements (TEs) are some examples of highly repetitive DNA. TEs are repetitive mobile elements that have the ability to jump within the genome and occupy a major part of eukaryotic genomes. For instance, there is a type of TEs called retrotransposons which mobilize through a copy-and-paste mechanism, thus increasing their number in a genome. In consequence, TEs represent highly repetitive and dynamic genomic sequences, and thereby it is hard to trace their evolutionary histories.
