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!

luda_lava [24]
Well, when a plant or animal dies in a damp environment it will most likely get buried in mud or silt. The tissues over time will decompose and leave bones or shells behind ( depending on what was there originally it can vary) Eventually over time sediment builds up and hardens into rock.

Suppose a diploid mosquito is completely heterozygous at all 6 of its chromosomes (2n = 6). How many different combinations of g
Ket [755]

Answer:

8 different combinations of gametes can be produced by this mosquito, assuming no homologous recombination between chromosomes

Explanation:

The mosquito has 6 chromosomes. This means that means it has 3 pairs of homologous chromosomes. Basically, we can assume the number of different gametes by 2 to the power of 3 as their are 3 homologous pairs. This means 2×2×2 which will be equal to the amount of eight. Hence, eight different combination of gametes will be produced.
