The mining of oil shale requires large amounts of water.

Explanation (from wikipedia):

Depending on technology, above-ground retorting uses between one and five barrels of water per barrel of produced shale-oil. The water needed in the oil shale retorting process offers an additional economic consideration: this may pose a problem in areas with water scarcity.

What is the difference between light microscope and electron microscope

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

Electron microscopes differ from light microscopes in that they produce an image of a specimen by using a beam of electrons rather than a beam of light. Electrons have much a shorter wavelength than visible light, and this allows electron microscopes to produce higher-resolution images than standard light microscopes.

7. White wool (WW, Ww) and brown eyes (BB, Bb) are dominant traits in sheep, while black wool (ww) and blue eyes (bb) are recess

artcher [175]

Answer:

1/2 wWBb , White wool and brown eyes.

1/2 wWbb , White wool and blue eyes.

Explanation:

White wool (W) is dominant over black wool (w).

Brown eyes (B) is dominant over blue eyes (b).

A sheep with black wool (ww) and brown eyes (Bb) is crossed with a sheep with white wool (WW) and blue eyes (bb).

If there is independent assortment between genes, the genotypes of the first parent's gametes will be wB and wb. The gametes of the second parent can only be Wb.

The resulting offspring will be:

1/2 wWBb , White wool and brown eyes.
1/2 wWbb , White wool and blue eyes.
