Agricultural practices relating to irrigation have the tendency to reduce the water level of river basins.
<h3>What are the effects of irrigation agriculture on river basins?</h3>
Irrigation agriculture requires that crops are watered artificially and this requires a water source. Hence, waters in river basins suffer and this leads to a reduction in their levels.
Water quality is impacted by agricultural practices such as the use of agrochemicals and fertilizers. Agrochemicals are washed into water bodies and this impacts biodiversity life in water.
One conservation strategy to reduce the impact of this kind of agricultural practice would be to practice organic farming. A farming practice that is devoid of using agrochemicals or the ones that are not poisonous to biodiversity and are biodegradable.

Answer:
The finches on Galapagos Islands had different beak
The beaks of the finches changed over time
The Galapagos finches had a common ancestor
Explanation: Darwin's Finches are a good example of natural selection and adaptive radiation of evolution. The different finches in Galapagos Island have emerged from a common black, seed eating, short beak finches. This is called adaptive radiation, where different species arose from a single ancestor.
Due to changes in the natural environment, food resources, some finches have a long beak. This long beaks help them to eat insects. As a result, the competition will be less and nature selects them to survive in the new environment. This is a natural selection of evolution.
Adam Smith described self-interest and competition in a market economy as the "invisible hand" that guides the economy. This episode of the Economic Lowdown Podcast Series explains these concepts and their importance to our understanding of the economic system.
Answer:
Disulfide linkage/bond
Explanation:
The tertiary and quarternary structure of the protein is stabilized by Disulfide linkage which is formed between two thiol groups in the protein. 2-mercaptoethanol is a reducing agent that breaks this disulfide bond.
A protein becomes denature when it loses its native configuration and becomes inactive. So as 2-mercaptoethanol breaks disulfide bond in protein it looses its native configuration and becomes denatured. 2-mercaptoethanol is used in SDS-PAGE to separate protein subunits. Therefore the correct answer is Disulfide linkage/bond.
