Answer:

Although hydroelectricity is the least  expensive energy source to generate electricity but still it is not used by most of the companies as it changes the normal flow of water,affects aquatic organisms,hamper fish habitats etc.

Explanation:

As hydroelectricity is fully depend upon water flow so it may create several consequences like drought,or another natural calamity may affect potentially.This may also affect the aquatic organisms that are fully depend on aquatic body.

Moreover, there are limited reservoirs for hydroelectric power plant .Only few  are functional.

One of your skin cells is about to replicate its DNA. What happens first?
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is C) The helicase enzyme unwind the DNA molecule into two strands.</em>

Explanation:

DNA replication occurs in a semi-conservative manner. This means that each strand of the DNA can give rise to a new strand. For the process of DNA replication to begin, firstly it is necessary that the DNA unwinds. Topoisomerases are enzymes which are known to remove the super-coiling of the DNA. Helicases can be described as the enzymes which separate the two strands of DNA from the region where replication has to begin. Hence, option C is correct.

In eukaryotes fatty acid breakdown occurs where
makvit [3.9K]

Answer: In the mitochondria.

Explanation: The enzymes of fatty acid break down are located in the mitochondrial matrix. Fatty acid break down occurs in the mitochondria in a process known as beta oxidation. Beta oxidation involves the break down of fatty acids to acetyl CoA. Beta oxidation involves the oxidative removal of successive two carbon units in the form of acetyl CoA .

Acetyl CoA produced enters into the citric acid cycle for the generation of ATP.

On a biochemical level, cocaine blocks the reabsorption of the neurotransmitter ________.
ANTONII [103]

Dopamine

On a biochemical level, cocaine blocks the reabsorption of the neurotransmitter dopamine.

Dopamine is a neurotransmitter (chemical) released by nerve cells in the body to transmit information from one neuron to another. Dopamine performs various important roles in the brain and body. Cocaine, which is a drug of abuse, blocks the reabsorption of dopamine. Cocaine acts by binding to the dopamine transporter, and stops the removal of dopamine from the synapse. Dopamine then increase in the synapse to form an amplified signal to the receiving nerve cells. This result in euphoria (feeling of intense excitement) experienced immediately after administering the drug.

Which condition would result in the least evolution as a result of gene flow? a. Very different allele frequencies in different
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

c. Unusually high migration variance Individuals that are very successful at migrating to new populations, but cannot mate in the new locations.

Explanation:

Gene flow refers to the movement of alleles between the local populations when individuals form a population migrate into the other population. Gene flow can occur only if the migrated individuals mate successfully with the individuals of the other population. This would add new alleles from immigrant individuals to the gene pool of the population leading to evolution.

If the immigration is not followed by the mating of the immigrants with individuals of the local population, there would not be any addition of new alleles to the gene pool and the population would not exhibit evolution by gene flow.
