Members of a population may be prone to inherited genetic diseases if inbreeding takes place frequently within the population.

Inbreeding is the production of offspring from the mating or breeding of individuals or organisms that are closely related genetically. By analogy, the term is used in human reproduction, but more commonly refers to the genetic disorders and other consequences that may arise from expression of deleterious or recessive traits resulting from incestuous sexual relationships and consanguinity.

How do I convert 7.80 into scientific notation?<br>​
statuscvo [17]

To convert to scientific notation, start by moving the decimal place in the number until you have a coefficient between 1 and 10; here it is 3.45. The number of places to the left that you had to move the decimal point is the exponent. Here, we had to move the decimal 4 places to the right, so the exponent is -4.

The only way to send information back and forth is to use radio waves. Just like a radio station broadcasts a signal which you can listen to using a radio, astronauts and people on Earth can broadcast information back and forth to each other.
Radio waves are transverse waves.

How does Overpopulation affects our lives today ??
Mnenie [13.5K]

No Clean Water: We may live on a water planet, but 97.5% of that water is ocean and other undrinkable salt-filled sources. Only 2.5% of the water on this planet is fresh, and of that, 1% is either too polluted to be consumed or entirely unreachable. Much of it remains frozen in the form of polar ice caps. All told, less than 1% of the planet’s freshwater resources are available for consumption.

Lower Life Expectancy: Thanks to medical intervention, human beings can live to be up to 100 years old — as long as they live in developed countries where they have access to that medical care. One study, done by researchers at Harvard, found that the majority of population increases over the next 40 years or so will be in less developed countries.

Climate Change: We’ve been seeing the results of climate change firsthand in the dramatic weather patterns of 2017 — multiple category five hurricanes, dramatic wildfires and floods, and other atypical weather patterns that are threatening both lives and property.

If poorly drained soils encourage the growth of bacteria that convert nitrate to nitrogen, the effect on higher plants will be t
3241004551 [841]

Answer:(B) decrease protein production

Explanation: nitrogen gas in the atmosphere is the source of nitrogen which is useful to plants.

In the nitrogen cycle, nitrogen gas is converted to it's compounds and then back to it's gas form.

The nitrogenous cycle involves fixation, mineralization, nitrification and denitrification .

In the first three states, nitrogen undergoes changes into a state where it can be absorbed by plants.

In denitrification,nitrates (useful form of nitrogen) are converted into gaseous nitrogen.organisms involved in this process are called denitrifying bacteria eg Pseudomonads sp.

Nitrogen is an important element.

It is useful for the production of protein, DNA, RNA and chlorophyll.

When it is deficient in the soil,it affects the synthesis of proteins and yellowing of leaves due to decrease in chlorophyll
