The United Nations Conventions on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) stipulates that seabed area, which is not within the landmark of any particular country should be regarded as a common natural heritage. Consequently, any mineral found in such an area can be used by anyone.
However, because of the abundant presence of sea area, and the way national boundaries often conflict, coupled with the problem of illegal mining practices, such laws are difficult to enforce, and so these regulations are not standardized yet.
Some possible impacts of ilegal seabed mining are:
1. Destabilisation of oceanic systems.
2. It constitutes danger to the organisms living in the hydrothermal vents.
The right answer is A.
The term "hormonally active agent" (or endocrine disruptor) refers to any molecule or compound chemical agent, xenobiotic having hormono-mimetic properties and described as a cause of physiological abnormalities, and in particular reproductive abnormalities. Some examples are PCB, TCDD, DDT. Some of them were used as pesticides and are now banned for use. Their traces always exist at the soil level due to their persistence.
These agents are most often associated with breast cancer.
Answer:
The humans use this limb to grab things, body language, and sign language.
The dogs use this limb for all kinds of weight-bearing activities like walking, jumping, running et cetera.
Birds use this to fly and whales use it as flapper.
The limbs of all these four animals are the example of homologous organs that is, they all are similar in structure but adapted to perform different functions during the course of evolution.
For example, in all four organisms, the limb is made up of the same set of bones such as humerus, radius, ulna, carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges.
Homology in structure shows that they must have evolved from a common ancestor and diverge to perform different functions as an adaptation to the contrasting environment.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Usually a virus is mainly made up of genetic material (DNA or RNA) inside a capsid/envelope. It has no organelles like a ‘true’ cell. Because it cannot reproduce on its own, scientists struggle to categorize it as a living thing since reproduction is a property of living things. The virus reproduces by hijacking the cellular mechanisms of the host cells to replicate itself. It does so by integrating itself in the genome of the host so that its DNA is also replicated, along with that of the host, by the host cell DNA polymerases and its proteins produced by the ribosomes of the host.
As you can see in the diagram presented below, the correct genotypes of the parents are TT and Tt.
Each parent give its children only one chromosome of the chromosome pair, therefore only one allele of the gene.
In our case, TT and Tt is the correct answer because one of the parents has to have the t allele to give to the Tt offspring.
But if both of the parents were Tt, one of the offspring would have tt genotype, and if the parents were TT and tt, all of the offspring would be Tt. Therefore, the TT x Tt combination is the only possible answer.
