Answer:

Explanation:

Turbidity results from particles and debris suspended or dissolved in water that scatter light making the water appear cloudy or murky.

Numerous human activities have an impact on river turbidity.

1) Construction activities normally strip the land of vegetation. Despite preventative measures, storm water tends to carry sediment off the site and into surrounding streams and rivers, thereby increasing the turbidity. Once the construction is completed, the smooth paved surfaces allow runoff water to gain more energy thus causing the water to become more erosive and carry sediment farther into streams and rivers.

2) Agricultural activities also have a similar effect in that when the land is cleared of native vegetation, the storm water is able to carry sediment away.

Avery and DNA (page 289)

Ivan

Yes, Avery, Mc Leod and Mc Carty do thought that genes may be involved in the transformation of non virulent rough Strains of Diplococcus pneumoniae to harmful smooth strained bacteria

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Avery was a Canadian medical researcher who along with other two well known scientists of the contemporary time went for an experiment where he took two strains of bacteria Diplococcus pneumoniae - one is rough and nonvirulent and another is smooth and virulent. For a control run, he injected both the bacteria in separate mice and the expected result was there. Now as he injected heat killed smooth bacteria, the mice survived. But as he injected heat killed smooth bacteria with rough bacteria, although there was no organism which can kill the mice the mice died. And autopsy revealed the presence of live smooth bacteria in the lungs.

Thus they suspected something have gone from the dead smooth bacteria into the non virulent rough bacteria which lead to transformation of the rough bacteria to smooth ones. Thus, the experiment was carried on, which suspected role of genes in this transformation.
