<u>Answer:</u>
Continuous pumping of water causes drawdown. The water table lowers rapidly.
<u>Explanation:</u>
- Water table is the level below which the ground is saturated with water.
- During rainfall the runoff water percolates into the ground through the gap in the soil particles and the water table is recharged.
- But when gallons of water are pumped continuously it leads to a drastic reduction in the water table because, water from the surrounding aquifers move towards the place where the vacuum is created by pumping.
- To prevent this, the groundwater should be recharged and over drawing should be avoided.
Answer:
So that we can identify them in the same species.
Explanation:
Many animals have similar species but different genus.
Answer:
Liza bought things that had little packaging. She practised conservation through this as the less packaged items would not have been sold and hence would have gone to waste.
Liza did not use a plastic bag to put her bought items. Instead, she used her backpack. In this way, she practised conservation by not using a plastic bag. Also, plastic bags are hard to dispose of and are not degradable.
Answer:
3 long tails : 1 short tail
Explanation:
This question involves a single gene coding for tail length in mice. The allele for long tail (T) is dominant over the allele for short tail (t). This means that an heterozygous mice will possess the long tail length.
According to this question, in a cross between two hybrid or heterozygote mice i.e. Tt × Tt, the following gametes will be produced by each parent:
Tt - T and t
Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), the following will be produced: TT, Tt, Tt and tt.
Offsprings with genotype TT, Tt and Tt will have a LONG TAIL while genotype tt will have a SHORT TAIL. Hence, the phenotypic ratio will be 3 long tails : 1 short tail.
