Answer:

Clear cutting can result in increased carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere.

Explanation:

Clear cutting of trees increases the amount of carbon dioxide. Trees are useful in balancing the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. They trap carbon dioxide that is used during photosynthesis in the manufacture of carbohydrates. When there is deforestation, the excess carbon dioxide rises to the atmosphere forming a blanket that traps excess heat which causes global warming or greenhouse effect. The excess heat warms the aerth surface.

A frameshift mutation is a dangerous mutation because it

miv72 [106K]

Answer:

"A frameshift mutation is a type of mutation involving the insertion or deletion of a nucleotide in which the number of deleted base pairs is not divisible by three. "Divisible by three" is important because the cell reads a gene in groups of three bases. Each group of three bases corresponds to one of 20 different amino acids used to build a protein. If a mutation disrupts this reading frame, then the entire DNA sequence following the mutation will be read incorrectly."

Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disorder. In one population, the frequency of affected individuals (A 2 A 2) is 0.0004

Simora [160]

Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium

Explanation:

Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium formula for allelic frequency is: $p+q=1$

Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium formula for genotypic frequency is: $p^2+q^2+2pq=1$

Here, $p$ =frequency of dominant allele

$q$ =frequency of recessive allele

$p^2$ =frequency of dominant genotype

$q^2$ =frequency of recessive genotype

$2pq$ =frequency of heterozygous genotype

frequency of affected individuals=0.0004(given)

here,affected individuals means the one's having Cystic Fibrosis and since it is recessive disease so we can write frequency of recessive genotype as: $q^2$ =0.0004

If $q^2$ =0.0004 $q$ will be 0.02;frequency of recessive allele will be 0.02

Using the formula $p+q=1$

$p+0.02=1\\p=1-0.02=0.98$

hence,frequency of dominant allele will be 0.98

Frequency of dominant genotype will be $p^2=(0.98)^2=0.9604$
Frequency of heterozygous genotype will be $2pq=2*0.98*0.02=0.0392$

Compare the hygiene allergies and asthma?

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

According to the “hygiene hypothesis,” the problem with extremely clean environments is that they fail to provide the necessary exposure to germs required to “educate” the immune system so it can learn to launch its defense responses to infectious organisms. Instead, its defense responses end up being so inadequate that they actually contribute to the development of asthma.

Do you think all organisms rely on the Sun in part for energy ?

fredd [130]

No. Not all organisms. Because in a way fish are organisms and there are some that live way down in the deep dark water. And they cannot swim up to where the sun is or they would disintegrate. So the answer would be no, not all organisms depend on the sun for energy. Different organisms have different ways of getting energy.
