<span>All of the answer choices relate a source of pollution with its effect; however, all of them except one is correct. <u>The answer is B.</u>
Option A states that the use of aerosol sprays increases ozone; however, the effect is the opposite. Moreover, the depletion does not result in acid rain. In option C, although fossil fuels do cause air pollution, they do not do so by reducing the water vapor content. Instead, they actually increase water vapor content. Their effect is of increasing the content of carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide. Finally, CFCs cause ozone depletion, they do not seep into the ground.</span>

) Consider a pea plant- it has a gene controlling seed color- yellow Vs green; another gene controlling seed texture-smooth Vs w
lana [24]

Answer:

Yellow smooth  - 9

Yellow wrinkle - 3

Green smooth- 3

Green Wrinkle - 1

Explanation:

Let the green color of the seed be depicted by "G" and the yellow color of the seed be depicted by "g"

Let the smooth the seed be depicted by "R" and wrinkled seed be depicted by "r"

F1 cross -  

true breeding smooth green plant ( RRGG) and true breeding wrinkled yellow (rrgg)

F1 gamete will be RG, RG, rg, rg

F1 offspring will be RrGg , Thus all F1 offspring will be heterozygous smooth and yellow.  

Thus,  R is dominant over r and g is dominant over G

F2 Generation –  

RrGg x RrGg

Gametes will be RG, Rg, rG, rg

RG         Rg          rG           rg

RG RRGG RRGg RrGG RrGg

Rg RRGg RRgg RrGg Rrgg

rG RrGG RrGg rrGG rrGg

rg RrGg Rrgg rrGg rrgg

R is dominant over r and g is dominant over G

Genotypes are –  

RRGG - 1  (Smooth Green)

RRGg-2  (Smooth yellow)

RrGG-2  (Smooth Green)

RrGg-4  (Smooth yellow)

RRgg- 1  (smooth yellow)

Rrgg – 2  (Smooth yellow)

rrGG – 1  (wrinkled Green)

rrGg – 2  (Wrinkled yellow)

rrgg – 1  (wrinkled yellow)

Yellow smooth  - 9

Yellow wrinkle - 3

Green smooth- 3

Green Wrinkle - 1

WORD BANK : Match Word with the associated pollution
Troyanec [42]

Ozone is formed by the reaction of of nitrous oxides and reactive organic substance catalyzed by sunlight. This is a photochemical reaction provided with ozone forming compounds and sunlight.


Acid rain is defined as nitrous(NO2) and sulfurous (SO2) compounds enter the atmosphere as smog thereby precipitating as acid rain. This is detrimental in the environment as well as in agriculture. 


Global warming is precipitated by the burning of fossil fuels that increases carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas that traps heat, in the atmosphere. The greenhouse effect is the main principle behind global warming.


Ocean acidification is when excessive carbon dioxide is dissolved in the oceans as carbonic acid thereby increasing the pH of the ocean. Increases in the pH of the ocean can affect the living conditions as well as industrial conditions near it.


Groundwater pollution is defined as contaminating the groundwater with the runoff from industrial agriculture including organic and inorganic wastes as well as infectious and nuclear wastes. 


Algae blooms or algal blooms are precipitated by eutrophication or the increase in nutrients in water such as nitrogenous compounds and phosphorus from fertilizers. Eutrophication of water precipitates the abnormally high growth rate of algae.


Ozone layer destruction is associated with CFCs such as Freon and aerosols as these compounds neutralize and destroy ozone. These compounds form free radicals that convert ozone (O3) to oxygen (O2) thereby reducing its capability to protect the earth from UV radiation.


Deforestation is primarily caused by urbanization (cutting down trees to provide empty land in building structures) and industrial farming (converting forests into agricultural lands for farming).

Which describes the complex carbohydrate cellulose?
FromTheMoon [43]
Like starch, cellulose is a complex carbohydrate made up of many molecules of glucose linked together. But unlike starch, plants do not use cellulose to store energy. Instead, plants use cellulose as a structural molecule. It forms the cell wall that gives plant cells shape and support.
