Answer is C. genome conservation.

A set of DNA, including all of its genes makes up genome of an organisms. Each genome contains all of the information needed to build and maintain that organism. The population of endangered species is small which suffer from reduced genetic diversity through inbreeding.

In conservation genomics, the study of genetic diversity in all genes is carried out for better understand their implications to ecology, health, and disease. This random loss of genetic diversity in diminishing populations is a process known as ‘genetic drift’ and is further complicated by ‘inbreeding depression’, where related individuals breed with each other which results in further loss of genetic diversity.  

Using genome editing techniques to carefully reintroduce the lost genetic diversity back into the current, endangered population.

If G=yellow seeds and g=green seeds, a) predict the genotypic and phenotypic ratios of a cross between a heterozygote and a homo
Schach [20]

Answer:

a) Genotype ratio= 1/2 Gg: 1/2 gg

Phenotype ratio = 1/2 yellow seeds: 1/2 green seeds

b) Genotype ratio= 1/4 GG : 1/2 Gg: 1/4 gg

Phenotype ratio= 3/4 yellow seeds : 1/4 green seeds

Explanation:

a) Genotype of heterozygote parent plant = Gg

Genotype of homozygous recessive parent plant= gg

A cross between Gg x gg gives progeny in following ratio= 1/2 Gg (yellow seeds) : 1/2 gg (green seeds)

b) Parent plants = GG x gg

F1= Gg

A cross between Gg x Gg would give F2 progeny in following ratio= 1/4 GG (yellow seeds): 1/2 Gg (yellow seeds) : 1/4 (green seeds)

What is the greenhouse effect? How can humans reduce the level of greenhouse gases?
frozen [14]

Answer:

The greenhouse effect is the production of harmful gases that harm the atmosphere.

Humans can reduce the level of greenhouse gases by opting for alternate technologies or reducing their carbon emissions.

Explanation:

The greenhouse effect is the process of heating the earth's atmosphere by trapping the Sun's energy, thereby making the atmosphere hot. This natural process of trapping the heat is caused by numerous gases like methane, carbon dioxide, water vapor, and other gases. It's from this process that the atmosphere produces bad gases that damage the earth.

The reduction of the effect can be reduced by humans if they reduce their consumption of resources or energy. Moreover, shifting to alternate technologies that use lesser or no gasoline will also help in the reduction of greenhouse gases.

What causes blood pH to drop in actively metabolizing/respiring tissues?
Novosadov [1.4K]

When a tissue's metabolic rate increases, so does its carbon dioxide waste production. When released into the bloodstream, carbon dioxide forms bicarbonate and protons through the following reaction: ... These waste products lower the pH of the blood, which increases oxygen delivery to the active muscles.
