The pH of stomach secretion is low. This means it is acidic. Too much production can corrode the stomach wall. Therefore in such a situation drinking a basic solution with a higher pH neutralizes some of the stomach acidic secretions hence relieving the effect;

Acid + Base - Salt + Water

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

carbon dioxide- burning of fossil fuels

fluorinated gases- industrial processes

methane- production and transport of oil and natural

gas

nitrous oxide- agricultural and industrial activities

Explanation:

Greenhouse gases are gaseous components that induces greenhouse effect. This means that due to their structural ability to trap heat energy in the atmosphere, they contribute to the global warming effect on the Earth. However, this greenhouse gases are produced in large amounts as a result of the day-to-day anthropogenic activities. The following are the greenhouse gases and how they are produced.

Carbondioxide (CO2)- Carbondioxide is the most common and important greenhouse gas. It is generated via natural processes like respiration but also produced when fossil fuels e.g coal, petroleum etc. are burned.

Fluorinated gases- This is another greenhouse gas caused by activities of man. Fluorinated gases are produced in industries during the production of certain products.

Methane- Methane is a gaseous hydrocarbon and the principal constituent of natural gas. Therefore, the production and transportation of oil and natural gases can lead to the escape of methane into the atmosphere.

In fruit flies, an autosomal mutation in the gene for wing veining results in cross veinless wings. This mutation is recessive.
mezya [45]

Answer:

B. cv+cv w+w

Explanation:

Fruit flies have a special nomenclature to write the genotype of individuals.

  • If the mutation is recessive, you have to write it with lowercase letter(s).
  • If the mutation is dominant, you have to write it with capital letter(s).
  • Wild-type alleles are indicated with a superscript plus (+).

In this problem, both crossveinless (cv) and white (w) mutations are recessive.

<u>For that reason, a heterozygous individual's genotype for both genes will be written as:</u>

<h2>cv⁺ cv  w⁺ w</h2>
