Describe the amount of freshwater on earth and where it is used and stored

Biology
1 answer:
Sergeeva-Olga [200]3 years ago
5 0

According to the U.S. Geological Survey, most of that three percent is inaccessible. Over 68 percent of the fresh water on Earth is found in icecaps and glaciers, and just over 30 percent is found in ground water. Only about 0.3 percent of our fresh water is found in the surface water of lakes, rivers, and swamps. The use for the water in the world is for household drinking water. The ocean stores about 97 percent of the Earth's water; the remaining three percent is stored in glaciers and ice, below the ground, in rivers and lakes. Of the world's total water supply of about 332 million cubic miles of water, about 97 percent is stored in the ocean.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

2% of the progeny will be double crossovers for the trihybrid test cross

Explanation:  

By knowing the positions of genes, we can estimate the distances in MU between them per region.

  • Genes A and B are 10 map units apart (Region I)
  • Genes B and C are 20 map units apart (Region II)
  • Genes A and C are 30 map units apart

----A-------10MU--------B-------------20MU-------------C---

             Region I                      Region II  

We can estimate the recombination frequencies by dividing each distance by 100.

• recombination frequency of A-B region = 10MU / 100 = 0.10

• recombination frequency of B-C region = 20MU / 100 = 0.20

Now that we know the recombination frequencies in each region, we can calculate the expected double recombinant frequency, EDRF, like this:

EDRF = recombination frequency in region I x recombination frequency in region II.

EDRF = 0.10 x 0.20 = 0.02        

2% of the progeny will be double crossovers for the trihybrid test cross

What occurs during G1 and G2 in the cell cycle?
adell [148]

Answer:

- G1 is an intermediate phase occupying the time between the end of cell division in mitosis and the beginning of DNA replication during S phase. During this time, the cell grows in preparation for DNA replication, and certain intracellular components, such as the centrosomes undergo replication.

- The last part of interphase is called the G2 phase. The cell has grown, DNA has been replicated, and now the cell is almost ready to divide. This last stage is all about prepping the cell for mitosis or meiosis. During G2, the cell has to grow some more and produce any molecules it still needs to divide.
