As you finish your college degree, you learn that the mountain behind your childhood home in the hills of the town you grew up a

re slated to be mined for coal using the mountain top removal method. Your parents, who still leave there are worried for their health and safety and do not want to lose the beautiful forested creek and ravine behind their property. However your brother is out of work and could use the mining job. What would you attempt in this situation?

In this situation, I would try not to allow the exploitation of the mountain to occur, degrading nature and the property that her family has, because her brother may look for another job, but nature would not recover.

<h3>What are the impacts of coal mining?</h3>

The burning of coal for energy produces highly toxic effluents, such as mercury and other heavy metals such as vanadium, cadmium, arsenic and lead. In addition, the release of carbon dioxide causes pollution in the atmosphere, exacerbating global warming and contributing to acid rain.

With this information, we can conclude that Sedimentation and pollution of rivers due to improper disposal of unused material would make life on the family's property unfeasible.

We know that purebred means that the organism contains the same alleles for the trait and hybrid means that it contains two different alleles for the trait. Dominant means that it will be shown in a hybrid and a purebred, but recessive traits will only be shown in purebred recessive organisms.

a) The offspring of a purebred white (recessive) cow and a purebred brown (dominant) bull, would be all hybrid brown (dominant). This is because as I stated above, dominant traits are shown when the offspring has both dominant and recessive alleles for the same trait.

b) The offspring of a purebred brown (dominant) cow and a purebred brown (dominant) bull would all be purebred brown (dominant). This is because if both of the parents have only alleles that code for brown color, the only color that the offspring can be is brown.

c) The offspring of a purebred white (recessive) cow and a purebred white (recessive ) bull would all be purebred white (recessive), for the same reason stated above in part b), the only difference being that the alleles are recessive and code for white color instead of being dominant and coding for brown color.

d) The offspring of a hybrid brown (dominant) cow and a purebred white (recessive) bull would be half hybrid brown (dominant) and half purebred white (recessive). This can be seen best if you set up a Punnett Square, which is a diagram that shows allele frequencies in offspring. This shows you that the chance that the offspring get the dominant allele from the mother cow is 50%, thus 50% would be hybrid brown (dominant), as the father can contribute only a recessive white allele. The other 50% would be purebred white (recessive) because the mother cow would be contributing a white allele and so would the father.

Hope this helps! :)

Studies suggest that the incidence of colon cancer may be lowered with high fiber diets. how might this be explained?
Triss [41]

The increase in the high fiber diet reduces the risk of colon cancer is suggested by the researchers. The effect of high fiber dietary intake add bulk to the digestive system. It also reduces the time required by the food to travel from the colon. Our food often contains some carcinogenic contents, so the interaction of such carcinogens may also be reduced due to the high fiber diet and also reduces the risk of intestinal tract. The bacteria in the lower intestine breaks the fibers into butyrate, which inhibits the growth of tumors of the colon and rectum.
