Answer:

Industrial discharges, urban activities, agriculture, groundwater pumpage, and disposal of waste all can affect groundwater quality. Contaminants from leaking fuel tanks or fuel or toxic chemical spills may enter the groundwater and contaminate the aquifer.

Answer:

a. conservative replication

b. semi conservative replication

c. dispersive replication

d. discontinuous replication

e. continuous replication

The CORRECT ANSWER IS C.

c. dispersive replication

Explanation:

The attached image shows a single band that becomes lighter (in volume) and increase in darker intensity (in times of color) is revealed with consecutive replications. The major pattern that would produce these outcome is dispersive replication.

Conservative replication do reveal two bands (a 14N for the wholly latest molecule, and a 15N for the totally antiquated molecule) after the initial replication. Therefore, this wholly wrong.

Semi-conservative replication reveal an individual band of transitional weight after the initial replication, followed by two bands following the second replication (one of transitional weight, and the other at the 14N position). These two bands is observed in each following replication, with the transitional weight becoming lighter in color as the 14N band is seen to appear darker in color.

The real pattern gives an individual band that pinpoints to all molecules in an individual replicative cycle possessing the same constituents.

Dispersive replication, has its molecules to be a blend of old (15N) and new (14N) strands. Each replication raises the ratio of new to old strands as it explains the reason an individual band is shown raised (lighter in weight) with every replication.

Think of a change that can occur to an ecosystem and the populations that live in that area. In what ways can the different popu

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

There are several environmental factors that causes changes in the ecosystem and the population of that area such as invasive species, extreme weather, land use change, pollution and disease.

Lets take invasive species as environmental factor. Introduction of invasive species can cause a huge change in the ecosystem and affects the native population in that area. it increases the competition for food resources and decreases the survival rate of their preys.

For example: Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes). It is an invasive plant species that has very bad impact of native population as well as other population, like it reduces biological diversity, oxygen loss, decreased phytoplankton productivity, eliminate plants that animals use for nesting, and alter animal communities by blocking access to the water.

Thus invasive population can affect population by reducing biodiversity, water shortages, decreasing availability and quality of key natural resources, disturb the food chain and can cause natural calamities.

Invasive species affect the resources that native species are using and that decreases the carrying capacity of the native population as it disturbs the whole food chain.

Foodborne illness is the contamination that results from the spread of bacteria from meat to vegetable. Various types of pathogenic micro-organisms get access to food, which is rich in nutrients and allows bacteria to flourish. When such contaminated foods are eaten, they cause foodborne illness.
