<u>Answer:</u>

The threats of California soil resources are soils, urban development

<u>Explanation:</u>

Native soils, unmodified by  human activity, are becoming  rare and we are losing the valuable  power they provide.  Soils in the Delta continue to subside.

Urban development has expanded into vast acres of prime farmland in California,  diminishing our capacity to produce sustainable food and fiber.Increased fire frequency will increase soil erosion, resulting in depletion of nutrients from the soil and polluting the surface waters that receive the runoff.

There are many threats to the soil resources in California some of them are Hydraulic mining, Forest fires, and Solar plant installation.

<u>EXPLANATION: </u>

  • Soil resources are said to be degraded when there is a decline in soil productivity.
  • This decline in soil productivity can be due to many factors.
  • The balance between the soil and the environment is usually disturbed by humans.
  • The first threat is the hydraulic mining in California disturbed natural soils.
  • Agriculture in California only depends on irrigation and the changes in water budgets largely affect the soil there.
  • Forest fires and its activities that are carried out to suppress fire causes soil erosion.
  • Also, the construction of solar and wind power facilities is disturbing the soil in deserts.
  • Thus, gradually California is reaching a point where undisturbed soil is rarely found.

Blood pressure falls with distance from the heart. Using this information, which of the following properly lists the type of blo
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

The correct answer will be- arteries→capillaries→veins

Explanation:

The circulation of blood in the closed circulatory system flows through blood vessels. These blood vessels show structural differences in response to the pressure exerted by the blood on the surrounding medium.

The blood pressure varies in the circulatory system because the heart pumps the blood with a greater force, so the blood vessel called arteries which carries the blood from the heart posses thicker walls.

The blood pressure reduces until the blood reaches the organs, the blood pressure reduces. Thus the blood in the capillaries has lower pressure.

When blood exits from the organs back to the heart, then the blood pressure is highly reduced as a result, the veins carry the blood with lower pressure.

Thus, arteries→capillaries→veins are the correct answer.

When recombinant DNA is inserted into the genome of a host organism, what's created? A. A genetic marker B. A restriction enzyme
PIT_PIT [208]

The answer is C.

Transgenic means that one or more DNA sequences from another species has been introduced by artificial means. For example, animals usually are made transgenic by having a small sequence of DNA injected into a fertilized egg or developing  embryo. Transgenic plants can be made by introducing foreign DNA into a variety of different tissues.

Most transgenic organisms are generated in the laboratory for research purposes. Others have been developed for commercial purposes  such as golden rice that has been modified to produce beta-carotene, the precursor to vitamin A.
