Answer: The reason why pestisides are found in our water is because the government and farmers put some type of chemical on the plants and in the water so animals like worms or bugs dont drink or eat our food and water supply.

Answer: Land, Water,Urbanization, and smog and acid rain.
Explanation:
Smog and acid rain are produced through similar sources, primarily vehicle and industry emissions. Though both result from human-caused air pollutants, there are chemical distinctions between the two. Though there are regulations in effect to reduce both types of pollution, they remain a threat to both human health and the environment.Smog Causes A combination of three components -- nitrogen oxides, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and sunlight -- causes smog. Nitrogen dioxide interacts with sunlight to create nitrogen oxide and a free oxygen molecule. This interaction produces ozone, which typically turns back into nitrogen dioxide, and the cycle repeats. The addition of VOCs interrupts the cycle, however. VOCs are produced by various sources, such as paint, cleaning products and refrigerants. The VOCs prevent the breakdown of ozone, allowing it to gather near the surface of the Earth, where even more nitric oxides are produced by vehicle and industry emissions, creating the dense smog seen in large cities such as Los Angeles and Beijing.Smog Hazards The presence of ozone in the form of smog can have several negative health effects. Respiratory systems can be irritated, reducing overall lung function and triggering asthma attacks. Evidence reported by the Environmental Protection Agency also suggests exposure to ozone reduces immune system responses, especially in the lungs. These effects subside over time, but little is known about the long-term effects of repeated exposure. Vegetation also suffers from smog, as plants that take up too much ozone can be damaged in ways such as discoloration and a loss of leaves that cuts photosynthesis efficiency by up to 50 percent.

Answer:
The correct answer is - 1/41,493
Explanation:
Let assume the frequency of the two possible same allele genotype (dominant and recessive) in an inbred population is p and q. Then the frequency of heterozygotes (H) is denoted as:
2pq + 2pqF. ( where F is the inbreeding coefficient).
The frequency of the two different hoozygotes in inbred population can be calculated as:
p2 + pqF and q2 + pqF. (Where p and q are the allele frequency of the dominant and recessive phenotype.
Given: Frequency of Alkaptonuria (q 2) = 1:500, 000
=> q = 1/707
p = 706/707 ( Approx values)
solution:
Inbreeding coefficient (F) = 1/64
Therefore,
Frequency of Alkaptonuria in second cousins= q 2 + pqF
= 1/500, 000 + (706/707 x 1/707) x (1/64)
= 1/500, 000 + 1/45, 248
= 1/41,493 (approx)
