There are currently hundreds of abandoned mines across the United States. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is leading a

program in which surface contaminants at abandoned mines are cleaned up and properly disposed of. This process is known as remediation. What is the most likely benefit of remediating abandoned mines?

Answer:

The study island answer is "Remediating the mines keeps the contaminants from entering a watershed."

Explanation:

Many contaminants, particularly heavy metals, pollute the area around abandoned mines. If these contaminants enter the watershed, they can kill many organisms that live in that environment.

Which statements correctly describe mutations in gametes and mutations in somatic cells?
ASHA 777 [7]

A mutation is a rare, accidental or induced modification of genetic information (DNA or RNA sequence) in the genome.


The consequences of a mutation vary according to the part of the genome affected. A mutation is said to be hereditary if the mutated genetic sequence is passed on to the next generation.

In multicellular animals, germline mutations can be transmitted to offspring, whereas somatic mutations do.


Somatic mutations do not affect cells intended for reproduction, so they are never hereditary:

* Post-zygotic mutations are the mutations that appear in the egg after fertilization. They are rarer and are expressed as mosaic in the individual concerned (the mutation will be present only in the daughter cells originating from the mutated embryonic cell).

* Mutations can appear throughout life on the DNA of any cell; they are then transmitted to the line of the daughter cells. These can, in some cases, become tumor cells and then form cancer.

What is lost to the environment at each of the trophic levels of this ecosystem? a nutrients from the soil b food sources c heat
Masja [62]

Answer:

C) heat

Explanation:

An ecosystem comprised of biotic and abiotic factors interacting together, in a specified environment.

trophic levels of this ecosystem is the food chain or the level an organism is in the feeding level, this range from producer to tertiary consumer.

If we follow the pyramid of tropic level known as " Energy level" Heat is lost to the environment at each of the trophic levels of the ecosystem. The producer which has large area of the pyramid has a large energy, and as the primary consumer(second tropical level) which are herbivores feed on the producer(first tropical level)grass , it only takes just like 10% energy from the producer and the secondary consumer ( third tropical level) herbivores feed on primary consumer, and only get away with 10% of the energy and as the trend goes up the "Energy keep decreasing inform of heat" like that.
