<h2>
Nuclear energy:</h2>
The energy which is harvested due to the nuclear fusion or fission occurring in a reactor is called nuclear energy. Though this energy has much application it has certain disadvantages.
<h2>Disadvantages of nuclear energy:</h2>
- The radioactive waste originating from atomic power plants and the reactors used act an extraordinary danger to Mother Nature and people.
- Improper disposal of radioactive waste released from the reactors, act as base of many deathly diseases.
- Another major disadvantage of utilizing nuclear energy is that it needs a ton of venture to set up an atomic power station. Developing an atomic power plant requires enormous capital cost.
- When the waste of this energy production process is lead to river body it causes eutrophication which causes the death of the aquatic life.
Answer:
about 5 billion years ago
Explanation:
Our solar system formed about 5 billion years a go from a dense cloud of interstellar gas and dust.
The answer is tropical areas. The tropical areas obtain more
radiant energy from the Sun than they lose to space through terrestrial
radiation, and vice versa for polar areas. Earth has an energy remaining in the
tropics and an energy scarcity for the polar areas.
Answer: 1/16, or approximately 6.25% (see explanation below)
Explanation:
Answering this question requires two steps.
First, we need to figure out the probability that this couple will have a child with albinism in the first place. We know the following:
- Both parents are unaffected.
- The couple has already had one affected child.
- Albinism follows an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern.
Let ( M = normal gene ) and ( m = mutated gene ). Since the condition is recessive, the affected child can be assumed to have a “mm” genotype. Barring the possibility of a de novo mutation (which are assumed to be rare), the affected child must have inherited one ”m” allele from each parent. Since both of them are unaffected, however, we can assume that they are both carriers (genotype “Mm”). In conclusion, 1/4 of their offspring (25%) <em>for any given pregnancy</em> may be expected to have albinism. See the resulting Punnett square:
<u> | M | m </u>
<u>M | MM | Mm </u>
<u>m | Mm | mm </u>
Note that the question asks about the probability that not one but two consecutive births result in affected children. Since it can be assumed that both events are independent (meaning: the outcome of a pregnancy does not influence the outcome of following ones), we may apply the rule of multiplication for probabilities. The final answer is therefore 1/4 * 1/4 = 1/16.
