Acid rain is rainfall made acidic by atmospheric pollution that it causes environment harm, mainly to the forests and lakes. The main cause of acidic rainfall is the industrial burning of coal and other fossil fuels, the waste gases from which contain sulfur and nitrogen oxides which combine with atmospheric water to form acids. It is important to explain that the more sulfur impurities that there are, then the more sulfur iv oxide is released into the atmosphere, causing acid deposition in the rain water and into cities and towns.

This question is unfortunately incomplete. The burning of coal containing sulfur can lead to the release of sulfur oxide compounds to the atmosphere. These compounds <span>combine with atmospheric water to form sulphuric acid. Sulphuric acid lowers the pH of atmospheric water vapour, and during rainfall events, precipitated rainfall will be of a low pH (acid rain).</span>

DNA and RNA are very similar; however, RNA does not contain adenine and thymine. Question 4 options: True False
hoa [83]
<span>False. RNA has four different bases, adenine, guanine, cytosine and uracil. The first three of these are also found in DNA, but when it comes to RNA, there is no thymine, it is in fact replaced by uracil as the base to compliment adenine. So RNA has adenine, but not thymine.</span>

Carriers of the sickle-cell allele (i.e. those with a heterozygous genotype) are fittest in environments with high frequencies o
Ostrovityanka [42]
Individuals who are heterozygous for the sickle-cell allele suffer less from the attack of malaria because a small percentage of the red blood cells are sickle-shaped. They are more resistant to malaria than individuals who have two copies of the normal haemoglobin allele. Heterozygous individuals have a better chance of surviving and reproducing in regions where malaria is prevalent since they do not fully contract the disease.
