Which of the following is NOT a solution to protect the water in the two wells in danger of becoming contaminated?

Biology
1 answer:
Anton [14]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The correct option is C. Building a well between the two wells that goes deeper into the earth would not stop the water from being polluted .

Explanation:

Even if a well was constructed between the wells B and C, it wouldn't have stopped the contamination of the water. As the oil would still be leaking and it would contaminate the wells.

All of the other options can be used to stop the contamination.

Option A suggests building an impermeable membrane that would stop the oil flow. Hence, the water in the wells will not be contaminated.

Option B suggests not using the water from the wells and using an alternate water supply. The alternate water supply wouldn't be contaminated with oil.

Option D suggests chemically purifying the contaminated water. This can be an effective technique to clean the contaminated water.

sergeinik [125]

Answer:

<h2>Cross out unnecessary phrases: Cut out introns.</h2>

Explanation:

The mRNA is a transcript of DNA . Primary mRNA transcript is edited before translation.

Mature mRNA is transcribed into protein, which is the final product of central dogma.

mRNA contains introns and exons , introns are removed by splicing.

the analogy of mRNA editing is Cross out unnecessary phrases: Cut out introns.

In certain mice, long tails (T) are dominant over short tails (t). If 2 hybrid mice mate, what will the outcome be?
yuradex [85]

Answer:

3 long tails : 1 short tail

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for tail length in mice. The allele for long tail (T) is dominant over the allele for short tail (t). This means that an heterozygous mice will possess the long tail length.

According to this question, in a cross between two hybrid or heterozygote mice i.e. Tt × Tt, the following gametes will be produced by each parent:

Tt - T and t

Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), the following will be produced: TT, Tt, Tt and tt.

Offsprings with genotype TT, Tt and Tt will have a LONG TAIL while genotype  tt will have a SHORT TAIL. Hence, the phenotypic ratio will be 3 long tails : 1 short tail.

How do amphibians breathe on land and in water​
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

Most amphibians can breathe both through cutaneous respiration (through their skin) and buccal pumping - though some also retain gills as adults. Some aquatic salamanders (and all tadpoles) have gills and can breathe underwater thanks to them. The Mexican axolotl, for example, never loses its gills.

justify the following statement “thinking and new ideas advance science, not just the design of instruments” please help
Anna [14]

Answer:

Designing some instruments does help science, but it doesn't advance ideologies of science.

Explanation:

Science is based on theories and laws. Scientists are constantly trying to explain the concepts of the universe by ideas. Sure, instruments do help scientists gather information and such, but ideas and philosophies, theories and laws are the ones that are most important. Without new ideas in science, we would not be able to hypothesize many things, or even develop new instruments.

If the stomata remain closed due to water loss, what happens to the concentration of CO2 and O2 in the leaf
Temka [501]

Answer:

Fixation of oxygen occur instead of carbondioxide.

Explanation:

If the stomata remain closed due to water loss, the concentration of carbondioxide decreases and oxygen increases in the leaf because of the fixation of oxygen instead of carbondioxide by rubisco. The plant takes carbondioxide from the atmosphere when the stomata is open so when the stomata is closed there is no other way for getting carbondioxide into the leave so the oxygen is now being fixed by our rubisco enzyme to that five-carbon compound instead of carbon dioxide.
