No, it is not always safe to pour waste chemicals and solution down the sink with lots of water because it could be harmful to the environment. When you pour materials down the drain they either enter a septic system or a municipal sewer system. If the material enter a septic system, it goes into a tank buried underground where the solids settle and decompose. The rest of the wastewater is than released into a drain field where it goes into the soil. Sometimes the wastewater kills the good bacteria and can contaminate ground water or surface water.

A municipal sewer system the wastewater goes to a central sewage plant, where after treatment, it is then released into lakes, rivers and streams. Some hazardous household waste can pass through the system unchanged and pollute the waters. Also the wastewater may affect the plumbing or collect in the trap and release fumes through the drains. Most sewage facilities aren't capable of removing such toxic substances. 

So, No, it is not always safe to pour chemicals and solutions down the sink even with a lot of water.

It is never safe to pour waste chemicals anywhere but a place where they can be properly and expertly disposed. While there may be a lot of water to dilute the solution, there is no telling what chemical compounds or substances are in the drain/sewage system, and if in an unfortunate event, the waste chemicals and preexisting ones do not mix well, then you may have a very dangerous situation.

Lera25 [3.4K]

The mix of alleles from various genes that end up in the daughter cells is determined by the anaphase 1 of meiosis 1.

Chromosome segregation during meiosis is mirrored in the segregation of alleles. During anaphase, 1 of meiosis 1 homologous chromosomal separation leads to allele segregation.

Chromosomes display autonomous assortment when they are randomly split into daughter cells during meiosis.

<h3>What takes place in anaphase 1?</h3>

During meiosis I, sister chromatids remain together as homologous chromosomes separate. To appreciate the development of germ cells, it is crucial to comprehend how this odd chromosomal segregation behavior came to be. Here, we show that the pattern of chromosomal segregation during meiosis I is determined by the microtubule-kinetochore interactions that are inhibited during prophase I and the premeiotic S phase.

How do genetic modification variations likely to differ from genetic sexual reproduction variations
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

The  genetic modification variations result in the change in the genome of the organism. In this case, the variations result in expression of a trait in different form than usual. These variations results in genetic mutation, which can be inherited from one generation to another.

In sexual reproduction, the genome of the organism is not altered. In this only an exchange between the maternal and the maternal alleles takes place, these changes does not result in mutations.

You’re welcome :)
