Answer:
Explanation:
During meiosis one cell, divides twice to form four daughter cells. These four daughter cells only have half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell. they are haploid. Meiosis produces our sex cells or gametes. (eggs in females and sperm in males)
Answer:
48 amino acids
Explanation:
The wild type gene codes for a protein with 100 amino acids. One amino acid is encoded by one triplet code of the gene. This means that the wild type gene has a total 100 triplets or 300 nucleotides to code for a protein of 100 amino acid. Mutation in this protein has introduced the code "UAA" at the 49th codon. The code "UAA" is a stop codon. Therefore, the mRNA transcribed from the mutant allele would code for a protein having 48 amino acids as the protein synthesis will be stopped once the stop codon at the 49th position is read.

Most hydroelectric power plants have a dam and a reservoir. These structures may obstruct fish migration and affect their populations. Operating a hydroelectric power plant may also change the water temperature and the river's flow. These changes may harm native plants and animals in the river and on land. Reservoirs may cover people's homes, important natural areas, agricultural land, and archaeological sites. So building dams can require relocating people. Methane, a strong greenhouse gas, may also form in some reservoirs and be emitted to the atmosphere. Reservoir construction is "drying up" in the United States Gosh, hydroelectric power sounds great -- so why don't we use it to produce all of our power? Mainly because you need lots of water and a lot of land where you can build a dam and reservoir, which all takes a LOT of money, time, and construction. In fact, most of the good spots to locate hydro plants have already been taken. In the early part of the century hydroelectric plants supplied a bit less than one-half of the nation's power, but the number is down to about 10 percent today. The trend for the future will probably be to build small-scale hydro plants that can generate electricity for a single community. As this chart shows, the construction of surface reservoirs has slowed considerably in recent years. In the middle of the 20th Century, when urbanization was occurring at a rapid rate, many reservoirs were constructed to serve peoples' rising demand for water and power. Since Hydroelectric energy is produced by the force of falling water. The capacity to produce this energy is dependent on both the available flow and the height from which it falls. Building up behind a high dam, water accumulates potential energy. This is transformed into mechanical energy when the water rushes down the sluice and strikes the rotary blades of turbine. The turbine's rotation spins electromagnets which generate current in stationary coils of wire. Finally, the current is put through a transformer where the voltage is increased for long distance transmission over power lines.
