Nuclear accidents are among the most feared disasters. The radioactive materials released can contaminate land and water, making

them uninhabitable for generations. One of the most dangerous radioactive materials is radioactive iodine, I-131. I-131 is produced when atoms are split in nuclear fuel rods within nuclear power plants. During a nuclear accident, I-131 may be released as a gas that settles on soil and plants and dissolves in water. People are exposed to I-131 by drinking contaminated water or eating contaminated foods. Scientists have confirmed, based on data collected at the Chernobyl nuclear disaster site, that prolonged exposure to I-131 leads to A) hair loss. B) thyroid cancer. C) premature aging. D) skin burns and ulcers.

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

100%

Explanation:

We are given a red flower plant. This means its homozygous dominant (RR). We are given a white flower plant. This means it is homozygous recessive (rr). Each plant will give its allele. The red one will always give R and the white one will always give r. Heterozygous (Rr) plants have pink flowers. So they will all be pink.

AveGali [126]

Answer:

During the method of photosynthesis, daylight is employed to convert water and dioxide into aldohexose and gas. light-weight reactions convert the energy in daylight into the energy of ATP and NADPH.

a) In the bright daylight, the Calvin cycle happens within the stroma. throughout the Calvin cycle, the products ATP and NADPH are accustomed convert molecules of carbonic acid gas into high-energy sugars.

b)In the darkness, the Calvin cycle conjointly happens within the stroma. throughout the Calvin cycle, the products ATP and NADPH are used to convert molecules of CO2 into high-energy sugars.

c) There will be a decrease in the products ATP and NADPH if the plants are unbroken within the dark for a protracted time and also the Calvin cycle can't be continued.

The answer is; burning unleaded gasoline

Unleaded gasoline does not reduce carbon emissions. The lead was added to fuel ideally for vehicles to reduce the knocking of engines. Lead in its chemical structure also increased fuel octane levels. When lead was discovered to be a neurotoxin, it was banned as an additive in fuel in most countries.
