The correct answer is option (d) atmosphere.
Fossil fuels are the hydrocarbons formed in the geological past, derived from the remains of dead plants and animals. They include the coal, fuel gas and the natural gas. The burning of fossil fuels is one of the greatest contributor of carbon dioxide being added to the atmosphere. This results in the pollution of air in the atmosphere resulting in the formation of smog. Carbon dioxide being a green house gas, affects the atmosphere and causes green house effect leading to global warming and climate changes.
The burning of fossil fuels affects the geosphere, biosphere and hydrosphere indirectly due to its primary direct effect on the atmosphere. Thus, atmosphere is directly affected by the burning of fossil fuels.
The correct answer is: The nuclear envelope is continuous with the endoplasmic reticulum
The nuclear envelope or nuclear membrane is composed of two phospholipid bilayers (outer and inner) that surround the nucleus in the eukaryotic cell. The space between the outer and inner membranes is called the perinuclear space. The nuclear envelop has nuclear pores that are responsible for the transport between nucleus and cytoplasm (e.g. transport of mRNA).
Alleles are also like genes which contain a trait from the parent cells that could be likely passed on to the offspring cells. For example, the trait of having blue eyes of the father and brown eyes of the mother are two alleles. There are probability for these alleles to pass on. 'p' designated the success of one allele to pass on, while 'q' designates a failure. When these two are added up, the sum would be 1. Therefore:
q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.44
q = 0.56
In the event of an acid spill, a base can be poured onto the acid to neutralize the acid to allow a safer cleanup.
