Most hydroelectric power plants have a dam and a reservoir. These structures may obstruct fish migration and affect their populations. Operating a hydroelectric power plant may also change the water temperature and the river's flow. These changes may harm native plants and animals in the river and on land. Reservoirs may cover people's homes, important natural areas, agricultural land, and archaeological sites. So building dams can require relocating people. Methane, a strong greenhouse gas, may also form in some reservoirs and be emitted to the atmosphere. Reservoir construction is "drying up" in the United States Gosh, hydroelectric power sounds great -- so why don't we use it to produce all of our power? Mainly because you need lots of water and a lot of land where you can build a dam and reservoir, which all takes a LOT of money, time, and construction. In fact, most of the good spots to locate hydro plants have already been taken. In the early part of the century hydroelectric plants supplied a bit less than one-half of the nation's power, but the number is down to about 10 percent today. The trend for the future will probably be to build small-scale hydro plants that can generate electricity for a single community. As this chart shows, the construction of surface reservoirs has slowed considerably in recent years. In the middle of the 20th Century, when urbanization was occurring at a rapid rate, many reservoirs were constructed to serve peoples' rising demand for water and power. Since Hydroelectric energy is produced by the force of falling water. The capacity to produce this energy is dependent on both the available flow and the height from which it falls. Building up behind a high dam, water accumulates potential energy. This is transformed into mechanical energy when the water rushes down the sluice and strikes the rotary blades of turbine. The turbine's rotation spins electromagnets which generate current in stationary coils of wire. Finally, the current is put through a transformer where the voltage is increased for long distance transmission over power lines.

Is there a picture with this question? It seems like there's background information which isn't being shown here.
Pedigrees are basically a map of alleles for family trees
______Person1 -- Person2_____
I I I I
__Person3_ Person 4 Person5 _Person6___
I I I I I
Person7 Person8 Person9 Person10 Person11
And under everyone's name you write their alleles.
Punnett squares give the probability of someone having genes based on their parents' genes.
Parent1 (Aa) or Parent1 (aa)
Parent2 (AA) AA Aa Parent2 (Aa) Aa aa
AA Aa aa aa
Answer:
I think the answer is
D. The planet is extremely hot.
Explanation:
It's because there is no water left on the surface, which helps cooling down the planet and the atmosphere contains thick and excessive carbon dioxide which traps the heat, causing the planet to heat up.
Answer:
Any change in the level of a limiting factor will affect the rate of reaction. If the level is too low or too high, the rate of photosynthesis declines rapidly.
