"People in Albany and New York City are using “green roofs” to improve the environment. A green roof can be added to many buildi

ngs that have large, flat roofs. Green roofs have three parts: a protective layer to separate plant roots from the roof of the building, an absorptive layer to catch and hold rainwater, and a layer of plants. Often, green roofs use Sedum, a short, desert plant, because it is efficient at storing water in its leaves and can withstand the colder climate.
A green roof saves energy, reduces carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and prevents rainwater and melting snow from overloading sewer systems. It can also protect the roof of a building from damage. However, green roofs can be expensive to install, and require care and maintenance.

State one reason why it is important to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere."

This information cannot be obtained from the text, and we need to access general knowledge: why carbon dioxide is harmful to the environment.

It is harmful, for example, because it is one of the greenhouse gases, that is a gas that traps the heat in the Earth's atmosphere and leads to a warming up of our planet (global warming). Earth's temperature should be balanced, because any changes can have catastrophic effects: warming of the planet leads to the melting of ice caps and can cause floods, for example

Maximum heating takes place in the upper part of the stratosphere. Because of the stable air, pollutant mixing is suppressed within this layer.

Describe the genetic makeup of the offsprings of asexual reproduction.
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

They are genetically identical to the parents and only differ if a genetic mutation occurs.

Sexual reproduction involves two parents and produces offspring that are genetically unique.

The greater the genetic variation, the better change that an individual in the population have a favorable gene that can help survival.  Genetic variation is an important force in evolution as it allows natural selection to increase or decrease frequency of alleles already in the population.
