Describe how humans are causing an increase in surface runoff and the negative consequences this causes.

Biology
1 answer:
marysya [2.9K]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

By destroying vegetation and building concrete structures humans are decreasing the rate at which precipitated rain water percolates into the grounds - because vegetation slow down runoff. This, therefore, increases surface runoffs that erode and carry more soil towards water bodies like lakes. Moreso sprawled cities block natural waterways for natural drainage of water. This causes water runoff to get worse and erode more soil. This causes siltation  that chokes up marine life.

Which of the following is a factor that, by itself, does not promote widespread changes in allele or genotype frequencies? a. Ne
defon

Answer:

A new mutation

Explanation:

A mutation refers to the random changes in the DNA of organisms. A mutation changes the allele and genotype frequencies by the introduction of a new allele in the gene pool.

However, mutations are not the major factor responsible for changes in the gene pool of a population as mutations are rare. The rate of mutations is very slow and does not allow it to serve as a major factor to change the allele and genotype frequencies.
