Summarize what the researchers did to improve the quality of post mining site soil

Answer:

The researcher centred on the potential uses of biochar, charcoal primarily used for agricultural and to improve the quality of post mining sites.

A method called mountaintop removal was used by mining firms. This means that they remove rock and mineral deposits off the top of the mountain to gain access to within the coal seams. The resulting soil is infertile and strongly acidic. The compacted soil after mine proves harder to  bring seed into the soil.

The researchers  try to use biochar to help reforest the soil at the post-mining site. Before it was reseeded and replanted, they got permission to add a layer of biochar to a post-mining site. the team created “planting cells” of biochar‐enhanced soil on the post‐mining site and that showed improvment in the sapling growth.

Irina18 [472]

Answer:

e. Red segregated from brown in meiosis I, and straight segregated from curled in meiosis I.

Explanation:

A cross between two flies heterozygous for both genes produced an offspring with the phenotypic ratio of 9:3:3:1. This ratio is expected according to Mendel's law of independent assortment, which states that alleles of the same gene assort independently during gamete formation.

Before meiosis starts in flies, a single diploid cell duplicates its DNA, so each chromosome has 2 sister chromatids that contain the same information.

  • During meiosis I, <u>the homologous chromosomes separate</u> into two daughter cells. The chromosome number is reduced by half, but each chromosome has two sister chromatids.
  • During meiosis II, <u>the sister chromatids separate</u> and each daughter cell from meiosis I divides into two new daughter cells (to get the total of 4 haploid cells).

In a heterozygous fly, each homologous chromosome contains a different allele, and the sister chromatids are copies that carry the same allele. For that reason, both traits were segregated during meiosis I.

Using the theory of natural selection, what is antibiotic resistance
ddd [48]

Answer:

Antibiotic resistance is when pathogens such as bacteria or fungi develop a resistance to antibiotics. This happens when some pathogens die, and others survive. The small number of pathogens that had a resistance to the antibiotic will reproduce more offspring that are also resistant to, and those offspring will reproduce even more offspring and so on. Eventually most pathogens will be resistant to the antibiotic, so antibiotics won't work.

. Plants exchange gas with the atmosphere. Which statement ac​
joja [24]

Answer:

Plants exchange two gases in the atmosphere i. e. oxygen and carbondioxide. Carbondioxide is entered into the plant body through small opening called stomata which are present on the surface of leaves. Carbondioxode is used as a raw material in the process of photosynthesis. Oxygen is produced in the end of photosynthesis process and releases in the atmosphere.
