Answer:

There are several eco-friendly techniques such as solar power plants, hydroelectric power plants, geotheraml enegy and wind turbines et-cetra, which have positive and negative both the impacts on environment that includes cryosphere, biodiversity, and human populations.

Positive impacts:

  • Hydropower plant (energy generated from water) is clean energy source and do not cause any air pollution and is a domestic source of energy, so each state can produce their own energy.
  • Wind turbines (energy generated from wind) are also clean energy source, do not cause any pollution, a renewable source of energy and provide power to remote locations.
  • Geothermal enetgy (energy generated through earth's internal heat) is environmet friendly source and better then conventional fuel sources as it does not require fuel, have high potential and sustainable.

Negative impacts:

  • Hydroelectric power plants are built by construction of dams and roads at water sites which affect the water habitat and also the destroys the nearby home of people. it affects the water flows in river and causes drought.
  • installation of Wind turbines allows posses threat to birds because of their heights and produces lots of noise that disturb the human population nearby. It can affect the flow of wind which indirectly affect the climate or weather at cryosphere and allows melting of ice.
  • Geothermal energy can cause cause earthquakes, nois pollution and destroy the native biodiversity.Geotheraml energy utilises heat inside the earth surface that affects the internal plates of earth of earth which disturbes the whole earth surface including cryosphere.

Hence, eco-friendly technologies have pros and cons both as mentioned above.

8. In a population of beetles, there is a gene for color with two codominant alleles. The allele R leads to red beetles and the
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

The genotypic frequency = 1:1

The phenotypic frequency = 1:1

Explanation:

Given that:

The allele → R = Red beetles

The allele → B = Blue beetles

Since the gene color shows a codominant allele

The Red Beetle = RR

The blue beetles will be = BB

The heterozygous beetle will be = RB

∴

The punnet square showing the crossing of RB × RR is:

                R                   B

R                RR               RB

R                RR               RB

The result shows that we have two red beetles and two heterozygous beetles.

Hence;

The genotypic frequency = 1:1

The phenotypic frequency = 1:1

Can someone help me with this question please :)
Masja [62]

Answer:

Electrons are negatively charged particles of an atom. All the electrons of an atom create a negative charge that balances the positive charge of the protons. The nucleus, which is the dense core of the atom, contains both protons and neutrons. Electrons, though, are outside of the nucleus.

Hope this helps

Have a nice day((:

In stressful situations, the sympathetic nervous system ________ the arteries of the circulatory system and ________ the pupils
sukhopar [10]
The correct terms to fill in the blanks would be contracts and dilates. In stressful situations, the sympathetic nervous system contracts the arteries of the circulatory system resulting to the dilation of the pupils of the eyes. Also, during these situations, the blood sugar levels are raised since the hormones for stress kick in to combat the stress which in turn raises the blood sugar.
