<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Several flood mitigation techniques can be used by federal governments. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

<em>Diversion of flood water and its storage is a method that can be used for flood mitigation.</em> Floodwaters can be diverted to canals, reservoirs, floodplains etc.

Thus water can be kept out of inhabited areas. Federal governments can enact legislation to establish floodwater and storage.  <em>Restoration of streams and floodplains is another method that can be used to mitigate floods. </em>

These methods can prevent bank erosion and reduce the severity of floods. Legislation's regarding the restoration can be passed by federal states.

<em>Low impact development and green infrastructure store water and thus helps preventing floods. This is another method to mitigate floods.  </em>

Which two statements are true for the leading strand in DNA?
melomori [17]

Answer: The correct options are statement first and fourth that is -

It is synthesized toward the replication fork and it is synthesized in the 5′ to 3′ direction.

Leading strand in DNA is the strand of new DNA being synthesized in the same direction where the replication fork is moving. The movement of replication fork allows the access of template for the new DNA.

The DNA synthesis is continuous in the leading strand. It is synthesized in the 5' to 3' as DNA synthesis always takes place in this direction. This is because dNTP ( deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate) provides free 3' OH group where new dNTP can be added by the enzyme DNA polymerase.

such as potasssium permaganate in water,urea a liver waste diffuses from the body and the kidney help in filtering it out

physiological processs

active transport, phagocytosis and pinocytosis

such as soduim-potassium pump, exocytosis

Explanation:  transportation in and out of cell is done in different ways listed above but a barrier to this movement is the cell membrane which is an outer covering of the cell. it protect the cell and only some materials can penetrate the cell membrane e.g micro-organism, water e.t.c. the various physical and physiological processes are the various ways substance  cna be liquid, solid or gas are transported within or outside the  cell e.g food
