<u>Answer:</u>
Composting food scraps in the cafeteria to reduce landfill waste would have the greatest impact in reducing the school’s ecological footprint.
Option: (C)
<u>Explanation:</u>
- Reducing the ecological footprint means bringing about some changes in lifestyle and living to improve the biocapacity.
- Compositing food scraps in the cafeteria to reduce landfill waste is the best option that the environmental club can apply to reduce the school's ecological footprint.
- This step can help to increase productivity of soil as well as reduce waste in landfill site.
- The option of incineration of trash causes air pollution. Likewise, reducing recycling bins will not be helpful in decreasing the ecological footprint.
- Instead, it causes the unmanaged collection of trash in school environment.
We determine the mass of the metal in grams by weighing it using the balance.
Next we obtain the volume of the metal by measuring its displacement with a graduated cylinder and water in the following way:
1.measure amount of water in the graduated cylinder.
2. Place metal into the graduated cylinder
3. Measure the amount of water in the graduated cylinder
4. Subtract step 1 from step 3. The difference is the metal's volume.
Once we have found out the mass and the volume then we calculate the density using the formula:
Density = Mass/Volume.
We then check our answer from the known densities of metals in the table of densities that has been provided and determine the identity and purity of the metal by how close our answer is to the most probable value in the table.
Answer:
1/8
Explanation:
Given that the trihybrid parents have AaBbCc genotype for fruit color. The trait is a quantitative trait i.e. each dominant allele will have an additive effect on it. In this case, AaBbCc and AABBCC will not produce same fruit color because AaBbCc has only three loci contributing to the color while in AABBCC all the six loci are contributing to the color. For an offspring to be exactly similar to the AaBbCc parents it should have the same genotype of AaBbCc.
The probability of Aa to come from a cross between Aa and Aa is 2/4 or 1/2
The probability of Bb to come from a cross between Bb and Bb is 2/4 or 1/2
The probability of Cc to come from a cross between Cc and Cc is 2/4 or 1/2
So the collective probability of AaBbCc offspring from a cross between AaBbCc and AaBbCc parents would be=
1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/8
Hence, assuming no effects of the environment, 1/8 of the offspring will have the same fruit color phenotype as the trihybrid parent.
