Answer:

Fuel for nuclear power plants is a radiation hazard to miners and other nuclear power workers.

Nuclear waste requires long-term storage.

Mining nuclear fuels can damage the environment.

Human error at plants can lead to meltdowns, which endanger the environment and human health.

Natural disasters can lead to radiation leaks.

Though currently abundant, nuclear fuels are nonrenewable resources.

Answer:

Despite a generally high security standard, accidents can still happen. It is technically impossible to build a plant with 100% security. A small probability of failure will always last. The consequences of an accident would be absolutely devastating both for human being as for the nature.

Nuclear power plants as well as nuclear waste could be preferred targets for terrorist attacks. No atomic energy plant in the world could withstand an attack. Such a terrorist act would have catastrophic effects for the whole world.

Now that you have come up with an equation that describes the relationship between amounts of different nucleotide bases in DNA,

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

G=21 %

T= 29 %

A= 29 %

Explanation:

Since C only binds to G, you have the same amount of C and G, so G is 21 %.

100 % minus 42 % ( 21 % C plus 21 % G=) equals 58 %.

So the other 58 % is made of T and A. Since T only binds to A , the half of the extra 58 % is T and the other half is A. Therefore 29 % is T and 29 % is A

Answer:

D Independent assortment occurs when chromosomes separate during meiosis and causes variations that can be beneficial or harmful to a species

Explanation:

During meiosis, the homologous chromosomes separate and segregate independently of each other. This process is referred to as 'independent assortment'. In consequence, different gene variants or 'alleles' localized in homologous chromosomes segregate independently of each other during gamete formation, thereby one particular gamete has an equal probability to carry either of these segregating alleles. Independent assortment generates genetic variation in the gametes, which can be beneficial or deleterious in a given environment.
