Hydroelectric Power 
The benefits are: <span><span>
1.       </span>Hydroelectric power is mainly a renewable source of energy. It relies on the stream cycle of water which do not cause pollution.</span>
<span><span>2.       </span>Hydroelectric power also helps and promote water reservoir and storage.</span>

The cost are: 
<span><span>1.       </span>0.85 cents per kWh is the average cost in the US.</span><span><span>
2.       </span>Conventional installation costs $1,000-$5,000</span>   


Geothermal Power 
The benefits are: <span><span>
1.       </span>There is no pollution</span><span><span>
2.       </span>We lessen the utilization of fossil fuels</span>

The costs are: <span><span>
1.       </span>$0.03<span> to $0.035 per kWh is the cost of electricity by The Geysers.</span></span>
<span><span>2.       </span> <span>$20,000 to $25,000 costs to build this power plant

Is a nucleotide made up of sugar, phosphate and two nitrogen bases
Elza [17]

Answer:

A nucleotide consists of three things: A nitrogenous base, which can be either adenine, guanine, cytosine, or thymine (in the case of RNA, thymine is replaced by uracil). A five-carbon sugar, called deoxyribose because it is lacking an oxygen group on one of its carbons

Fluid filled sacs in the knee are specifically called
antoniya [11.8K]
Fluid filled sacs in the knee are specifically called Bursa or Bursae. Bursae is plural for Bursa.
A bursa is a closed fluid filled sac that function as a gliding surface to reduce friction between tissues of the body. Knee bursitis occurs when there is irritation or inflammation in one one of the knee bursa. The procedure of removing fluid-filled sac is called bursectomy. When the bursa become infected with bacteria, this condition is called septic bursitis.

PLEASE HELP!! 36 POINTS!!!
Serhud [2]

Answer:

Natural selection can cause microevolution (change in allele frequencies), with fitness-increasing alleles becoming more common in the population.

Fitness is a measure of reproductive success (how many offspring an organism leaves in the next generation, relative to others in the group).

Natural selection can act on traits determined by alternative alleles of a single gene, or on polygenic traits (traits determined by many genes).

Natural selection on traits determined by multiple genes may take the form of stabilizing selection, directional selection, or disruptive selection.

Introduction

We've already met a few different mechanisms of evolution. Genetic drift, migration, mutation...the list goes on. All of these mechanisms can make a population evolve, or change in its genetic makeup over generations.

But there's one mechanism of evolution that's a bit more famous than the others, and that's natural selection. What makes natural selection so special? Out of all the mechanisms of evolution, it's the only one that can consistently make populations adapted, or better-suited for their environment, over time.

You may have already seen natural selection as part of Darwin’s theory of evolution. In this article, we will dive deeper – in fact, deeper than Darwin himself could go. We will examine natural selection at the level of population genetics, in terms of allele, genotype, and phenotype frequencies.

Quick review of natural selection

Here is a quick reminder of how a population evolves by natural selection:

Organisms with heritable (genetically determined) features that help them survive and reproduce in a particular environment tend to leave more offspring than their peers.

If this continues over generations, the heritable features that aid survival and reproduction will become more and more common in the population.

The population will not only evolve (change in its genetic makeup and inherited traits), but will evolve in such a way that it becomes adapted, or better-suited, to its environment.
