Of the babies that survive, however, few will have birth defects related to the exposure, regardless of how much radiation they were exposed to. Large radiation doses to the fetus during the more sensitive stages of development (between weeks 2 and 18 of pregnancy) can cause birth defects, especially to the brain.

Hello llockard,

The answer is petroleum... It is because trees, water, plants, natural gas can take only 2 - 31 years to be made again... BUT, in case of petroleum, it takes nearly 100000 years, which is impossible for any human to live that much years... So, use petroleum carefully....

Hope it helped you... please mark me brainliest

A regional lobster management board recently proposed a five-year moratorium on lobster fishing in the Atlantic waters south of

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

Statement D is not correct.

Explanation:

a. Lobsters are rival but not excludable: This is correct, as lobster is a common resource to which everybody can get access to with no need to pay for it. Besides, a person can consume only one animal.

b. The lobster population is an example of the tragedy of the commons: This is correct, since people, acting by their own needs or interests, may exceed the capture of too many lobsters, affecting their population and, therefore, other users.

c. Reducing the quota on the number of lobsters any fisher can catch would have a protective effect on the lobster population: This is correct, since reducing the number of lobster catches will allow the animal population to reproduce more, leaving offspring capable of reaching sexual maturity, mating and reproducing again, and thus increasing the population size and stabilizing it.

d. If left unregulated, the lobster population will likely increase: This is not correct. There need to be some regulation or management, because if not these animals will continue to be caught, even in the reproductive season, not allowing the population to stabilize. In this case, the population will likely decrease, rather than increase.
