joja [24]2 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

Groundwater is the freshwater present below the earth's surface. It originates from the rain, ice, melting snow.

Some anthropogenic sources of groundwater pollution are

  • Aluminum.
  • Sulfur.
  • Arsenic.
  • Nitrates.
  • Fluoride.

Groundwater pollution has more problems than surface water pollution because groundwater is mostly hidden and it is very difficult to view, manage and monitor.

Groundwater holds its contamination and pollutants that cause pollution whereas surface water rinses their contamination and pollutants.

1. An advantage of light microscopes compared to electron microscopes is that light microscopes A)allow you to view living cells
Mariana [72]

Answer:

1. The correct answer would be  A) allow you to view living cells, while electron microscopes do not.  

There are many advantages of light microscope over electron microscope such as:

  • It is easy to use as compared to the electron microscope.
  • It enables us to view both alive as well as dead specimen whereas electron microscope can be used to view dead specimen only.
  • Light microscopes are much cheaper and have much lower maintenance cost as compared to the electron microscope.

2. The correct answer would be C) scanning electron microscope

Scanning electron microscope or SEM is a type of electron microscope which is used to observe surface topography and composition of the specimen. It can achieve resolution of up to 1 nanometer.

3. The correct answer would be 400x

The total magnification of the microscope can be calculated by multiplying the powers of the objective lens and that of the eye lens.

Thus, the magnification of the specimen would be 40*10 = 400x.

Skin color in a certain species of fish is inherited by a single gene with four different alleles. How many different types of g
k0ka [10]

Answer:

4

Explanation:

According to Mendel's law of purity of gametes, each gamete contains single allele for a gene. The alleles of a gene segregate during gamete formation and each gamete has one allele for a gene irrespective of the total number of alleles for a gene.  

If the gene for skin color in a fish species has four alleles, an individuals fish would have only two alleles which in turn would segregate during gamete formation.

Since there are four different alleles of the gene (let's assume a,b,c, and d), total possible gametes produced by this organism will be = 4. A gamete can have one of the total 4 alleles making total 4 types of the gametes each with a or b or c or d allele.

Sauron [17]
A pedigree shows the genotypes of the family members 
in autosomal recessive disorders, the diseased genes are inherited from the parents. For the person to get the disease both diseased genes should be there in the genotype as its a recessive disorder.
the dominant gene - H
   recessive gene    - h
for a person to get a disease, genotype should be hh, as its autosomal recessive. If the person is normal he/ she could have the genotype HH or could be Hh and thats called a carrier.
the offspring will receive one gene from the mother and one from the father
