Sodium is an element. What is the question?
Answer:
The policy for controlling environmental mercury pollution should address ways to prevent and control this pollution. Policy:
- Ban the incineration of waste
- Require that coal-burning companies remove mercury from the coal
- Allocate funds towards research and development for renewable energy resources in the hopes of switching away from coal.
- Require that products containing mercury be labeled as such.
- Set up programs that will recycle batteries and mercury-filled products.
- Set up education programs that will help inform people about mercury pollution.
This policy works by addressing the ways to prevent and control mercury pollution.
Three problems that could result from implementing this policy:
- Backlash from coal-burning companies.
- It could take a while before we completely shift away from using coal.
- Some of the programs that can be set up in this policy can be too expensive to set up and maintain.
Answer:
1.) Inflated pod shapes (Cc) in the F1 generation
2) See attached image for the work out of the cross from P generation to F2 generation.
3). CC- 1/4, Cc- 1/2, cc- 1/4
Explanation:
This question is related to the pod shape trait encoded by a single gene in pea plants. The alleles for inflated pod shape (C) is dominant over the allele for constricted pod shape (c). This means that allele "C" will be expressed over allele "c" in a heterozygous state.
The two truebreeding parent plants will have genotypes: CC (inflated pod shape) and cc (constricted pod shape). When these two plants are crossed, an all heterozygous plant with genotype: Cc will be formed in the F1 generation. Since, C is dominant over c, the F1 Cc plants will have an inflated pod shape phenotype.
The F1 Cc plants are self-crossed to produce the F2 generation offsprings i.e. Cc × Cc. The gametes C and c will be produced by each F1 parent, which will be used to draw a punnet square (see attached image). From the cross, offsprings with genotypes: CC, Cc and cc are produced in the F2 generation.
CC (phenotypically inflated pod shape)- 1/4
Cc (phenotypically inflated pod shape)- 1/2 or 2/4
cc (phenotypically constricted pod shape)- 1/4
