Answer:

The formula is 2n - 2

Since n is 30

= 2(30) - 2

= 60 - 2

= 58

A mutant nullisomic version of this organism would have 58 chromosomes.

A diploid cell missing both copies of the same chromosome exhibits a nullisomic condition or a cell or individual with one chromosomal type missing. Humans having this condition will not live.

How does contour plowing in farming help to prevent pollution?
wel

D) Contour plowing is used to reduce erosion and sediment pollution.

Explanation:

Contour plowing in farming helps to prevent pollution by reducing surface erosion of topsoil and preventing sediment pollution.

Contour plowing is a farming technique in which crops are planted along the slopes of hills or contoured areas.

  • The rate at which rain water and precipitation moves along slope terrain is very fast.
  • This causes the washing off of the the topsoil on hills to eroded very fast.
  • Contour plowing breaks the slope and farming is done along movement on the contour.
  • This prevents topsoil erosion.
  • It also prevents sediment pollution in nearby streams and water bodies that are located around the valley at the base of the hill.
