Answer: There are various means by which the environment can be affected. These can be human activities or natural calamities.

Landslide is one of the major disaster which can be intensified by human activities.

Mining, deforestation, construction are some of the activities that can loosen the soil which aids to intensify the landslide.

Once the landslide is occurring the loosen soil intensifies the landslide. So, the activities that loosens the soil must be avoided to prevent landslide frequently.

The human activities directly or indirectly affect the nature. The deforestation and the removal of the vegetation  for the purpose of development or timber, the land is exposed to the dangers of the landslide. The tress, plants and other vegetation keeps the soil in place with the help of their roots. The soil erosion is prevented by the trees, but the cutting down of them by the humans increases erosion and hence, the risk of landslide.

Changing environmental conditions, such as temperature or pH, can affect enzyme shape. How would this alter the enzyme's functio
hjlf

Answer:

If the active site is altered, the enzyme can no longer perform its catalytic activity

Explanation:

Changes in temperature or pH alters the structure of the enzyme. Enzymes have catalytic activity that lowers the activation energy required for a reaction to proceed.

Enzyme catalytic activity is facilitated by the active site - a specific region of the enzyme where the reactants bind.

At the active site, the conditions are optimal for the reaction to take place (the active site gets the reactants in the perfect position to make contact and react).

If the structure of the active site is compromised, it won't have catalytic activity anymore and won't be able to catalyze the reaction

Suppose that tomatoes with the RR genotype are red and those with rr are green. Assuming that this reflects conventional genetic
netineya [11]

Answer:

B. R is dominant to r, and Rr individuals are red.

Explanation:

In genetics the dominant allele is represented by the uppercase letter and the recessive allele is represented by the lower case letter. A dominant allele always shows its dominance over the recessive allele. So in heterozygous condition dominant allele will reflects itself in the phenotype.

Here allele of red color allele is in capital letter and alleles of green color are shown in lower case which means R allele is the dominant allele and r is the recessive allele. Therefore R is dominant to r and in homozygous condition(Rr) red individual will be formed. So the right answer is B.
