Explanation:

It comes as little surprise to learn that the UK is rife with air pollution.

But while people living away from big cities and main roads may think they’re unaffected – it turns out many of them are.

The most comprehensive analysis of the tiny particulate matter in our air finds two thirds of the population living in areas with air pollution levels that the World Health Organisation deems to be unsafe.

Answer:

Land can become polluted by household garbage and by industrial waste. In 2014, Americans produced about 258 million tons of solid waste, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. A little over half of the waste — 136 million tons— was gathered in landfills. Only about 34% was recycled or composted.

Hope this helps and I hope its correct.

Cloud [144]

Answer:

Option E, Both increased acidity of deep waters and changes in the growth of bottom-dwelling organisms with calcium-carbonate shells

Explanation:

When high concentration of CO2 is pumped into the ocean at its greater depths, CO2 is absorbed extensively by the ocean which changes the pH of ocean water and makes it more acidic. The high acidity of ocean water is due to the release of free hydrogen ions. Excess of hydrogen ions make the carbonate ions less abundant due to which the organism that make carbonate shell will suffer as they may not get sufficient carbonate ions to calcify their outer coverings.  

Hence, option E is correct

RSB [31]
Daughters get one X gene from each parent.
If the father is a normal male, he carries only a normal X-gene.
Therefore the daughter will always get a normal gene from the father, and a 50% probability getting an affected gene from the mother, therefore 50% chance of becoming a carrier.  The other 50% she will inherit a normal X-gene from each parent, thus a healthy female.

In conclusion, no daughter will have haemophilia from a carrier mother and a normal male.
(however, sons will have a 50% chance of inheriting affected X-gene and hence will have haemophilia).

zhuklara [117]

Answer:

Explanation:

The plate were supposed to streak by D. radiodurans but unfortunately it was streaked by E.coli.

As there is no other petri plate available, this plate was exposed to the UV for the 30 minutes. The plate was not left uncovered and because of that the total E.coli could not die and another streak of D. radiodurans was done on the same plate.

As a result of incubation there will be growth of both of the organism in the petri dish.
