Answer:

Not very successful considering the fact that there is still acid rain even with more advances in technology such as the development of hydroelectric power plants and other renewable forms of energy so as to reduce the continuous burning of fossil fuels.

Explanation:

Acid rain is produced when sulfur and nitrogen in their oxide forms are released into the atmosphere where they get to meet with water and other chemicals. Since water contains hydrogen and oxygen, it reacts with sulfur and nitrogen in their oxide form to produce weak acids which come down to the earth as it rains. Fossil fuel combustion is a man-made practice of releasing sulfur and nitrogen in their oxide form into the atmosphere which eventually results in acid rain.

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Explanation:

The double-stranded DNA molecule has the potential to store genetic information in either strand, although in most organisms <u>only one strand is used to encode any particular gene</u>.

The template strand is the non-coding strand. The coding strand of DNA is the non-template (mRNA-like) strand (see attachment).

Thus, genetic information is expressed by transcription of the non-coding (template) strand of DNA, <u>which produces an mRNA molecule that has the same sequence as the coding strand of DNA</u>. Therefore, if a mRNA is transcribed from the non-template strand, the genetic information will not be contained in that strand and it would not produce a correct protein.

How can people preserve genetic variety in plants grown by grafting or splicing?

dolphi86 [110]

There are many reasons are specific to the plant and our needs but remember this, without us modifying plants we would have been extinct thousands of years ago, everything you eat today does not exist in nature and if it does exist is either inedible, toxic, or too small to provide important nutrition.

<h3>What is grafting?</h3>

When the tissues of plants are joined together to let them continue their growth together as one, then such a practice is known as grafting.

Grafting is commonly practised in horticulture and agriculture for the growth of commercially important plants in an asexual manner.

In the process of grafting, the upper part of the combined plant is known as the scion and the lower part is known as the stock.

Thus, this could be the answer.

Answer:

Pollution, crimes and overcrowding.

Explanation:

Lack of family planning is responsible for the rise of population. It brought many adverse changes in the environment such as pollution, crimes and overcrowding etc. Rise in population causes unemployment that leads to crimes in the society. It also produces pollution due to more human activities such as emission of fossil fuels and more industries should be built to provide basic needs to more population. Rise in population causes agricultural to be converted into residential area that leads to decrease food production.
