Neon is a member of the noble gas family. Other elements in this family includes <span>helium, argon, krypton, xenon, </span>and <span>radon. </span>These gases are in Group 18 (VIIIA) of the periodic table. The periodic table is a chart that shows how chemical elements are related to each other. The noble gases are sometimes called the inert gases. This name comes from the fact that these elements do not react very readily. In fact, compounds exist for only three noble gases—krypton, radon, and xenon. Chemists have yet to prepare compounds of helium, neon, or argon.

Neon was discovered in 1898 by British chemists William Ramsay (1852-1916) and Morris Travers (1872-1961). It occurs naturally in the atmosphere, but only in very small amounts.

Although farmers once used only organic fertilizers to replenish nutrients in the soils, some have been replaced with synthetic
klio [65]

Answer: C. Synthetic fertilizers increase the potential for environmental pollution.

Explanation:

A fertilizer is a material which when applied to soil ,supply one or more plant nutrients essential to the growth of plants.

Fertilizers could be organic ( obtained from nature ) or could be synthetic ( made artificially in labs).

Though synthetic fertilizers such as urea keep nutrient levels high and increase crop yields but they also kill beneficial microorganisms in the soil that convert dead human and plant remains into nutrient-rich organic matter. The non biodegardable synthetic fertilizers seep into groundwater and increase its toxicity, causing water pollution.

Synthetic fertilizers damage the natural makeup of the soil. Plants that grow in soils which use synthetic fertilizers are deficient in iron, zinc, carotene, vitamin C, copper and protein.

In a sample population of people, 36% have the recessive trait of "free" earlobes (q2). What is the frequency of the dominant al
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Explanation

Given that 36% are recessive in traits

100-36 = 64% for dominant traits considering a whole population to be 100%

P=dominant allele

q= recessive allele

P2= dominant genotype

q2= recessive genotype

according to hardyweinberg principle, p+q=1

64/100= 0.64 frequency for dominant traits or genotype, therefore

p2=0.64

then

P=√0.64

p= 0.8

Therefore, dominant allele frequency (p) for the population is 0.8
