Runoffs from an uranium mine stockpile have contaminated the surface water in a location. This might cause health problems among

people in the location. Which of these is the best plan to solve this problem?
a-plant trees around uranium mines to absorb contaminants
b-put fences around uranium mines to check the flow of contaminants
c- wear protective clothing for prevention against harmful effects of radiation
d-collect the runoffs in retention ponds for isolation and recovery of contaminants

The correct option is D. Because uranium is a radioactive element, such run off is very dangerous to the people who are living in the environment where the spill occur. The run off must be isolated as soon as possible, by collecting it in a retention pond.

Processes such as changes in orbital geometry or volcanic eruptions have clearly affected climate in the past, and these explain
docker41 [41]

Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

There has been a constant increase in the earth's global surface temperature. This global rise in temperature is due to the increasing number of volcanic eruptions on earth's surface, changes in the orbital geometry as well as due to the introduction of the industrial revolution, that has been taking place on earth for the last 200 years.

The eruption of volcanoes leads to the release of a large number of pyroclastic materials and greenhouse gases and volcanic gases such as CO₂, SO₂, H₂O, H₂S and many other gases, which is harmful to the atmosphere. This leads to an increasing amount of temperature, resulting in the melting of the glaciers in the polar region.

Over this long time, plate motions have rapidly taken place, due to which the volcanoes were formed and erupted near the convergent and the divergent plate boundaries.

Thus, the above-given statement is true.

Katen [24]

Answer:

The mentioned case is an illustration of the missense mutation. A missense mutation is a kind of nonsynonymous substitution, that is, it is a mutation in which a variation in a solitary nucleotide leads to the formation of a codon, which encrypts for a distinct kind of amino acid.  

When a missense mutation takes place within a DNA, a modification in one of the RNA codon sequences results at the time of transcription. This change in codon will ultimately result in the formation of a different amino acid, which gets presented within a protein at the time of translation. Like in the given case, a change in codon resulted in the substitution of the amino acid tyrosine with an amino acid cysteine.
