You heat your home with electricity generated by a coal-fired power plant. Because energy from the coal is lost in the productio

n and distribution of the electricity, it would be more efficient to just burn the coal in your home (although certainly less convenient!). How much less coal would you need to burn if you heated your home directly with coal, instead of using electricity generated from coal? You would need about

Well since you can only heat your home/water with it and your home stove is less efficient than say the zero-emmisions one in gillete WY. and the distribution cost placed on top of that. you would pay more than the coal-made-electricity. plus you would burn more for the same effect. and coal decomposes in oxygen so that's not EPA condoned anymore. so the answer is. . . none. its more advantageous to just use the electricity

Earthquake damage causes two rabbits to be separated from the rest of the rabbits in their large habitat. They have no way to ge
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

<em>A.The rabbits in the new habitat will have lower genetic variation than the rabbits in the original habitat. </em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

If two animals of opposite sex are isolated from a larger group of animal, and made to reproduce. They will produce offspring with similar genetic makeup. If this offspring still remain isolated, and continue to interbreed within themselves for a number of consecutive generations, their offspring will all be very closely related genetically. Situations like this just as with the two rabbits in the question leads to a lower genetic variation within the offspring of the two animals.

Animals need to reproduce within a larger group in order to increase genetic variation. Increasing genetic variation reduces the risk of been sucked into a gene pool. A lower genetic variation reduces the fitness of the animals involved. It is only an advantage in cases in which the the original pair are resistant to a deadly disease. In this case all the offspring also develop this immunity. Mostly the effects of a lower genetic variation leaves negative impacts, and animals try to avoid this by preferring to interbreed with unrelated partner
