Answer is b. Burning fossil fuels causes a decrease in the pH of ocean water making it more acidic.
Burning of fossil fuels release carbon dioxide and other harmful gases in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide gets dissolves in the ocean to form carbonic acid. Due to formation carbonic acid, the pH of ocean water changes slightly. The average pH of ocean water was 8.2 slightly basic. Now it 8.1, it means there is 25 % increase in acidity of ocean water.
Answer:
30
Explanation:
The seed of an angiosperm is formed as a result of fertilization (fusion of sperm in pollens and the ova from ovary). According to the question, the cells of the seed which will grow into the plant contains 20 chromosomes. Seeds of angiosperms contain a tissue called ENDOSPERM that forms as a result of the unique DOUBLE FERTILIZATION in angiosperms. It occurs when one haploid sperm cell fuses with two haploid polar nuclei to form a triploid endospermic structure that serves as food for the growing embryo in the seed.
Now based on the above explanation, the diploid plant cell with 20 chromosomes will have 10 chromosomes (half as much) in its gametes as a result of meiosis. This 10 chromosomes in each gamete (sperm and ovum) fuses to form a diploid zygote with 20 chromosomes, while one haploid sperm cell (10 chromosomes) also fuses with two haploid polar nuclei (10 chromosomes each) to form a triploid endosperm with 30 chromosomes i.e. 10+10+10.
The best way to avoid measurement error in an experiment is being shown in the option C. instrument precision which means that a tool is controlled very carefully in order to get the most accurate result, and the answer for your question is D. misreading the instrument as it is an opposite of what I have just said.
