ale4655 [162]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The visible bodies of water are referred to as surface water. The majority of fresh water is actually found underground as soil moisture and in aquifers. Groundwater can feed the streams, which is why a river can keep flowing even when there has been no precipitation.

Answer:

POLLUTANT, SOURCE AND IMPACT

Carbon Monoxide

SOURCE:- carbon monoxide main sources are from our homes, eg; wood stoves and fire place, generators, gas stoves, kerosene heaters, leaking chimneys, tobacco smokes etc

IMPACT:- carbon monoxide can cause organ failure as it reduces the amount of oxygen the hemoglobin been carried in the red blood cells to this organs in our body.

Carbon dioxide

SOURCE:- carbon dioxide can be from both human and natural source. Example of the sources includes; natural source ( ocean release, decomposition and respiration), human activities ( burning of coal, oil and natural gas, cement production etc)

IMPACT:- carbon dioxide causes difficulties in breathing as it displaces oxygen in the air.

It also increase the greenhouse effect (global warming) as more heat energy gets trapped by the atmosphere causing the planet to become warmer.

Sulphur dioxide

SOURCE:- sulphur dioxide mainly occur due to human activities such as fossil fuel combustion at industrial facilities, in ships etc.

IMPACT:- Sulphur oxide has been linked to many health effect and diseases such as cardiovascular diseases. It also causes respiratory problems, asphlegm and asthma attacks, irritation of lungs, throat and nose as well.

Nitrogen oxides

SOURCES:- nitrogen oxides also comes from human activities such as; combustion of fossil fuel, making of nitric acid, refining metals as well as petrols, explosive, food manufacturing etc.

IMPACT:- Nitrogen oxides has also been linked to many respiratory health issues such as bronchitis and wheezing. It causes the lining of the lungs to inflame there by reduce the immunity of the lungs to respiratory diseases.

Methane

SOURCE:- methane can be from either natural or human activities. The natural source includes; food digestion by cattles, decay of organic materials. Human activities such as waste management, rice production, oil and gas production etc.

IMPACT:- Methane is considered a green house gas like carbon dioxide, it contributes to the trapping of heat energy in the atmosphere which causes global warming. It is also linked to serious health issues such cardiovascular, respiratory and neurological problems.

Particulates

SOURCE:- particulates are fine tiny particles of matter found in the air, it might be in solid or liquid form. Example; dust, smoke, fumes etc. This particles can suspended in the air for an extended periods of time.

IMPACT:- exposure to particulates can cause variety of respiratory health problems such as difficulties in breathing, coughing, lungs and heart problem etc.

assume that Q is the frequency of the recessive gene R expressing y color piece and that in a isolated area 68 plants with red a
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Explanation:

<u>q= 0.566</u>

Homozygous individuals have two copies of the same allele for a gene. Homozygous dominant individuals carry two copies of the dominant allele, while homozygous recessive individuals carry two copies of the recessive allele.

Further Explanation:

DNA sets contain genes that may have different forms named alleles. DNA, which is the genotype, is transcribed into mRNA and later translated into amino acids which are connected together by rRNA to form proteins which constitute the phenotype of an organism. DNA sequence mutations form new allles, impacting the resulting mRNA, and thus the encoded protein. Within species, there may be adaptation, along with genetic drift, preferential breeding, and natural selection.

Within a population certain alleles are fixed over time. In Hardy-Weinberg-allelic frequencies, the equilibrium for a particular gene is not undergoing evolution, being stable for several generations. Mutations, during this time affect the corresponding mRNA, and thus the encoded protein. Evolution may occur within populations, along with genetic drift, selective mating, and natural selection.

Over time, certain alleles become fixed within a population. Equilibrium for a specific gene is not undergoing evolution in Hardy-Weinberg-allelic frequencies are stable for several generations. During this period, mutations do not occur within the population, this is shown as

p^{2} + 2pq +q^{2} = 1   ....(eqn i)

where...

p represents the dominant allele frequency

q represents the frequency of the recessive allele

q^2 = the genotypic frequency of the homozygous recessive

p^2= the genotypic frequency of the homozygous dominant

2pq= frequency of the heterozygous genotype

and simply p+q= 1                  ...(eqn ii)

The allelic freq. of r is denoted by q and the allelic frequency, R is denoted by p...

The total number of individuals= 32+ 68= 100

Thus q= √q^{2}= homozygous recessive individuals  (white flowers)

Since there are 32 white flowering plants , freq rr= 32÷ 100= 0.32

...thus q^{2}=0.32

   and q= √ q^{2}= √0.32= 0.566

Please help me! Explain why oxygen molecules in the tissues of the lung go into the blood, and then in other tissues the oxygen
raketka [301]
The oxygen in you lungs are of a higher concentration than it is in your blood This process is through the use of passive transport.<span>Your blood is then returned to the heart and pumped throughout the body. Because your blood has more oxygen in it than your cells do the blood through the use of passive transport again give the oxygen to the cells.</span>
