The greatest risk to the earth's water supply is water pollution  and over use of  water due to human interventions. Only a small amount of water is available for human consumption,rest is saline in taste, which makes it unsuitable for human consumption. The pollution makes water non-usable and this is going to become a serious problem in future. The pollutants such as chemicals, fertilizers, pesticides and industrial and household waste makes water toxic in nature.ground water is connected to the rivers, streams and lakes. The over consumption of groundwater lowers the amount of water present in lakes, streams and river and the supply can be diminished.

Airida [17]

Answer:

If there is no dominant allele for a trait present on a homologous chromosome to mask the recessive allele, the recessive phenotype will be expressed. In this case, the gene is located on the Z chromosome. In an individual with a ZW genotype (female) there is no homologous Z partner, meaning whatever allele is present on the solitary Z chromosome will be expressed.

Which scenario would cause a covalent bond to form?
nekit [7.7K]

Answer: A) Two atoms share electrons so they can fill their outer shells

Explanation: A covalent bond is a type of bond formed by sharing equal number of electrons between two non-metal atoms so that both of them can attain a stable octet or duplet structure of noble gases.

In covalent bonding, there is no loss or gain of electrons between atoms. For example, the formation of chlorine molecule, chlorine atom has seven electrons in its outermost shell, remaining one electron to attain an octet structure of noble gases. Two chlorine atoms share one pair of electron, each chlorine atom donating one electron to form a pair so that each atom in the chlorine molecule attains an octet structure..
