Landfills refer to the locations destined for dumping garbage, rubbish, or other kinds of solid wastes. They are the most general means of disposing of solid waste that is either left to pile in heaps or are buried. One of the most drastic effects of landfills is air pollution and its negative influences on the atmosphere.  

There are more than ten toxic gases discharged from the landfills, of which methane is the most harmful gas. The methane gas is generated during the procedure of organic matter decay, it has the tendency to trap solar radiation twenty times more efficiently in comparison to carbon dioxide.  

The consequence is enhanced global and urban temperatures. Apart from methane gas, other agricultural and household chemicals, like ammonia and bleach can produce toxic gases, which can majorly influence the quality of air within the locality of the landfill.  

Particulate matter, dust, and other non-chemical contaminate can also be expelled into the atmosphere, thus, further donating to air quality complications.

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

i) Genotype of Parent 1= TTpp

Genotype of  Parent 2= ttPP

ii) The genotypes of their gametes

Parent 1= Tp

Parent 2= tP

iii) F1 generation = All TtPp (tall and purple flower)

iv) F2 phenotype ratio= 9 tall, purple: 3 tall, white: 3 dwarf, purple : 1 dwarf, white.

F2 Genotype ratio= 1:2:1:2:4:2:1:2:1

Explanation:

Let's assume that allele "T" gives tall plants while allele "t" imparts dwarfism. Likewise, the dominant allele "P" is responsible for purple flowers while recessive allele "p" gives white flowers.

i) Genotype of Parent 1—Tall plant with white flowers (pure breeding)= TTpp

Genotype of  Parent 2—Dwarf plant with purple flowers (pure breeding)= ttPP

ii) The genotypes of their gametes

Parent 1= Tp

Parent 2= tP

iii) F1 generation = All TtPp (tall and purple flower)

iv) Each of the F1 plant with TtPp genotype will form four types of gametes= TP, Tp, tP and tP

A cross between TtPp x TtPp gives F2 progeny in following ratio=

F2 generation phenotype ratio= 9 tall, purple: 3 tall, white: 3 dwarf, purple : 1 dwarf, white.

Genotype ratio= 1:2:1:2:4:2:1:2:1

Basile [38]
This definition above refers to the geographic isolation.
It means exactly what it says in the definition - one species is left behind from the rest of the population, and it stays in that particular location, evolving and changing from the species and population it was once a part of.

All parts of fungi are composed of ____________ , or thin filaments of cells, packed closely together to form the main body of a
MAVERICK [17]

The right answer is hyphae for the first gap, mycelium for the second gap.

The hyphae constitute the vegetative apparatus of the mushrooms, while the visible part, that which is improperly called mushroom, is in fact its reproductive apparatus.

Hyphae are less branched filaments consisting of a single cell that can be several centimeters long. They contain several nuclei and can sometimes be partitioned.

The mycelium is a part of the mushroom (composed by many hyphae), which is in the form of white filaments and grows about fifteen centimeters under the ground. It is this part of the mushroom that has therapeutic properties because the filaments of the mycelium are going to draw the minerals in the soil.
