Answer:

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

Two brothers inherit different sets of alleles from their parents. what effect will they have?
lesya692 [45]
Depending on what trait the alleles carry, the brothers will have a different phenotype and a different genotype.
For example; Eye color. My sister is heterozygous, meaning she has brown eyes. I am homozygous recessive, meaning I have blue(green/hazel) eyes. We both have the same parents, I just happened to inherit both of the recessive eye color alleles from my parents whereas, my sister inherited both the dominant and recessive alleles. 

So, since the brothers inherited different sets of alleles, their genotype for a certain trait will be different.

Biodiversity is the reason that different variety exist between members of a species. Biodiversity tends to favour those organisms which are better adapted to live in an environment. These organisms tend to pass on their characteristics to their offsprings and become more in number.
