Global warming has been linked to a decrease in the

(a) rate of carbon dioxide production

(b) size of the polar ice caps

(d) rate of species extinction.

Answer:

The correct answer is option (b) size of polar ice caps.

Global warming refers to the gradual rise in the temperature of the earth. It is due to the increase in the green house gases like carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and others which trap the sun's heat in the atmosphere and increase the temperature causing the green house effect.

Global warming has numerous effects. A few of them have been listen below-

(1) It causes the change in the climate showing extreme weather conditions due to increase in the average temperature.

(2) It results in a higher rate of extinction of animals and causing disturbance in the ecosystem.

(3) It causes the melting of the ice caps resulting in decrease in the size of the ice caps. Arctic sea ice decline is the result of it showing increase in the sea level.

Thus, global warming results in the decrease in the size of the polar ice caps.

In an experiment what should be the relationship between the control group and experimental group?

Sophie [7]

Answer:

Ideally, the experimental and control groups are identical. As much as possible, the two groups should overlap in every characteristic.

Explanation:

At the beginning of your study, you need your two groups to be as statistically similar as is humanly possible. That way, when you control for other variables, you can reasonably attribute any statistically significant differences at the end of the study to your intervention.

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

The correct option is C. Rare alleles tend to remain rare even when they are dominant.The distribution of a gene among individuals is determined by mating and environmental factors.

Explanation:

Most people believe that a rare allele would only be recessive. But this is not correct. A rare allele can be dominant. The frequency of an allele to occur in a population will depend on the environmental factors. The alleles which code for traits that are best suitable for living in an environment will be seen in more abundance. The frequency of an allele to occur in a population also depends on the breeding trends of the population.
