Hello. This question is incomplete. The complete question is:

"Which of the following best describes the long-term impact of using a nonrenewable energy source?

A: Geothermal energy can disrupt the water table and harm water supplies.  B: Nuclear power damages the atmosphere by producing air pollution.  C: Burning biomass to produce energy releases greenhouse gases.  D: Coal mining can pollute water supplies and kill fish and aquatic plants."

Answer:

D: Coal mining can pollute water supplies and kill fish and aquatic plants.

Explanation:

The use of non-renewable energy has proven to be a strong pollutant of ecosystems and biomes. Coal mining is an example of how the use of non-renewable energy degrades nature.

The environmental impacts of mining are diverse and varying in scale: from specific local problems to major biological, geomorphological, water and atmospheric changes. Therefore, knowing these problems and minimizing their effects is of great necessity to ensure the preservation of natural environments.

Coal mining can pollute the water supply and kill fish and aquatic plants. Not to mention the degradation of soil and vegetation that this activity promotes.

In this specimen of onion root cells, what is the amount of time, in minutes, spent in interphase
valkas [14]

Answer:

Approximately it will consume 55% of the total time in the interphase i.e. 800 minutes.

Explanation:

The time required in different phases are as follows:

It takes 800 minutes for interphase

It takes 400 minutes for prophase

It takes 120 minutes for metaphase

It takes 80 minutes for anaphase

It takes 40 minutes for telophase

Total -- 24 hours

From this it can be concluded that around 55% of the time spent in the interphase, whereas only 28% in the prophase, 8% time for metaphase, 6% Anaphase and 3% Telophase. This is all happens in the onion cell but in case of the human cell, prophase it takes about 15 min, in prometaphase it takes 15 mins, metaphase takes in about 20 min, Anaphase takes minimum of 3 min and telophase is about and cytokineses are about less then 10 mins.

You work for the WWF. Write a letter to the mayor of a small farm town to explain why this town is experiencing erosion, and why
horrorfan [7]

The letter should contain concerns about the causes and ill effects of erosion.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

Sir,

I am very sad to inform you that the town of Hariharanpur is suffering from continuous erosion for the last 3 years. Even after having proper knowledge about this fact, you being the mayor, are not taking any charge of this situation.

The town is situated just by the side of River Ganges which makes it's soil full of moisture. Along with the repeated deforestation and tree cutting for urbanisation, the smallest of the rain falls are also eroding a lot of soils. This can lead to severe landslides in river Ganges with severe loss of properties as well as loss of lives too.

So i request you to start embanking the river as well as to start planting new trees to save the town from getting lost under Ganges.

Thanking you,

XYZ.

1. As given, the of a strand DNA contain sequence;

A-T-G-C-C-A-T-C-G-G-T-A,

2. After exposure to UV light, the strand contain the bases;

A-T-G-G*-C-C-A-T-C-G-G-T-A,

3. By comparing both the strands, we find that, the strand of DNA after exposure to UV contain extra G nucleotide between G and C, which is resulted by an insertion.

So we can say that, a new base has been inserted.
