What have the scientific studies identified as the major cause of acid rain in the united states?.
Vadim26 [7]

Burning of fossil fuels that release sulphur and nitrogen compounds into the air is identified as the major cause of acid rain in the united states.

<h3>What are the causes of acid rain?</h3>
  • Acid Rain is created when sulphate and nitrogen oxides from the atmosphere react with rainwater and fall as a result.
  • Sulphur and nitrogen particles that mix with the wet elements of rain are the main causes in the production of acid rain.
  • Due to air pollutants, notably the excessive levels of sulphur and nitrogen released by machinery and industrial operations, acid rain is made up of water droplets that are extremely acidic.
  • The emissions that are released from industries are man-made causes.
  • The natural causes, such as lightning strikes in the atmosphere that release nitrogen oxides and volcanic eruptions that release sulphur oxide.

The complete question is :

What have the scientific studies identified as the major cause of acid rain in the United States?

a )chemicals still in the atmosphere from the asteroid collision with the earth

b) excess solar radiation due to the depletion of the ozone layer

c) volcanic ash in the air

d) burning of fossil fuels that release sulphur and nitrogen compounds into the air

An mRNA sequence reads: GAA/GCU/AUA/CUA/UGU. What would the effect on the amino acid be if the second codon read GCA instead, an
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

D) Silent mutation on second codon, third amino acid changed from ILE to ASN.

Explanation:

Silent mutations are usually point mutation where you change one nucleotide. Since, the nucleotide changed is the third position, it does not affect the protein being manufactured (it will still put the amino acid Ala) [look up the codon redundancy on youtub.e to understand how awesome nature is!]

On the other hand, the other mutation introduced is Missense mutation where a different Amino acid is added due to change in codon (goes from ILE to ASN).
