Answer:

A secondary pollutant

Explanation:

Pollutants can broadly be classified into two main categories based on their formation or synthesis. 1: Primary pollutants, 2: Secondary pollutants.

1: Primary pollutants

Primary pollutant can be considered as any environmental pollutant that is being directly emitted from a certain source like when we burn coal carbon di oxide is directly emitted into the atmosphere so CO2 is a primary pollutant.

Similarly sulfur di oxide or SO2 is also a primary pollutant that is emitted by the gas emissions of motor vehicles.

2: Secondary pollutants:

On the other hand, secondary pollutant is something that is not directly emitted on earth as an environmental pollutant but some how it is formed due to a reaction of primary pollutant.

Such as mentioned in the question that SO2 when oxidized in air in the presence of enzymes and water, it form H2SO4 or acid rain which directly falls on earth and incurs great amount of damage to not only living organisms but also non-living organisms such as marble buildings.

Therefore, acid rain is secondary pollutant. Please see picture for better understanding.

Hope it help!

In garden pea plants, purple flowers (P) are dominant to white flowers (p), and full pod shape (F) is dominant to constricted po
kifflom [539]

Answer:

The phenotypes are as follows

Purple, full- 9

Purple, constricted- 3

White, full- 3

White, constricted- 1

Genotype of parents are PpFf, each produce the following gametes: PF, Pf, pF and pf.

Explanation:

This is a dihybrid cross involving two distinct genes. One coding for flower color and the other for pod shape. The allele for purple color (P) is dominant over the allele for white color (p) while the allele for full pod (F) is dominant over the allele for constricted pod (f).

In a cross between two heterozygote parents i.e. PpFf × PpFf, each parent will produce the following gametes: PF, Pf, pF and pf. Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image) the following 16 offsprings will be produced in a phenotypic ratio: 9:3:3:1

Purple color, full pod- 9

Purple color, constricted pod- 3

White flower, full pod- 3

White flower, constricted pod- 1

In humans, polydactyly (more than 5 fingers and toes on each hand and foot), is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. What
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

C. More than 5 fingers/toes on each hand/foot

Explanation:

According to the given information, polydactyly is an autosomal dominant trait which means that the phenotype would be expressed in both homozygous dominant and heterozygous dominant genotype.

The given genotype is heterozygous dominant. The individuals with heterozygous dominant genotype would exhibit the polydactyly and would have more than 5 fingers and toes on each hand and foot.
