Answer:

Continuous pumping of water causes drawdown. The water table lowers rapidly.

Explanation:

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.

asambeis [7]

Answer:

oxygen gas

red blood cells

platelets

Explanation:

» Concepts

Your blood is composed of four main things: red blood cells (that transport oxygen), white blood cells, platelets, and plasma. Red blood cells transports oxygen and takes out CO2, white blood cells fight bacteria and viruses, and platelets clot together to stop bleeding.

Bile is a fluid that is produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder, so it's not a main component of blood.

What kind of mutation would occur if a sequence of DNA is changed from ATCGGCTTAACG to ATCGGCTAAACG?

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

Base substitution mutation

Explanation:

Mutation is the alteration or change that occurs to the sequence of a gene caused by a mutagen (chemicals) or spontaneously-induced. Depending on how the mutation occurs, it is of different types. The mutation shown in this question is as follows:

ATCGGCTTAACG to ATCGGCTAAACG

This type of mutation is called SUBSTITUTION MUTATION. Substitution mutation is a type of mutation that involves the replacement of one or more nucleotide base by another. In this original sequence; ATCGGCTTAACG, the eight base T was replaced by base A in the sequence, hence, it is a substitution mutation.
