Dams are barriers that prevent the flow of water. They are created to provide flood control, recreational areas, water for irrigation, and hydroelectric power.Although dams serve many important purposes, they can also have a negative impact on the environment by
A.
preventing fish from moving along a river.
B.
serving as a place for people to have picnics.
C.
increasing fresh water sources for humans.
D.
providing new wildlife habitats.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

A. Preventing fish from moving along a river.

Explanation:

1. Dams create barriers and trap the water that builds up behind it. This prevents fish from moving along the river as there's a barrier in place and is just overall harder for the fish to move freely along a river because of it.

2. It's the only negative option as the others are all positive outcomes, while the question asks for a negative outcome instead.

Hope this helps!

What is the difference between a animal cell and a plant cell.

Answers

Answer:

Plant cells are eukaryotic cells present in green plants, photosynthetic eukaryotes of the kingdom Plantae. Their distinctive features include primary cell walls containing cellulose, hemicelluloses and pectin, the presence of plastids with the capability to perform photosynthesis and store starch, a large vacuole that regulates turgor pressure, the absence of flagella or centrioles, except in the gametes, and a unique method of cell division involving the formation of a cell plate or phragmoplast that separates the new daughter cells.

Explanation:

Plz give me a Brainiest.

Answer:

Animal cells do not have a cell wall or chloroplasts but plant cells do. Animal cells are mostly round and irregular in shape while plant cells have fixed, rectangular shapes.

How are climate change and global warning related?

Answers

So Global warming is the rise in global temperatures due mainly to the increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Climate change is the increasing changes in the measures of climate over a long period of time.

This includes : precipitation, temperature, and wind patterns.

Hopes this helps :)

Answer:

global warming is a part of climate change

Explanation:

climate change refers to the way that climate is changing on earth this can be global warming or also cooling

b. Calculate the map distances between the genes.
c. Determine the coefficient of coincidence and the interference among these genes.
d. Draw the chromosomes of the parents used in the testcross.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

We have the number of descendants of each phenotype product of the tri-hybrid cross.

  • S U Tu 2
  • s u Tu 70
  • S u Tu 21
  • s u tu 4
  • S U tu 82
  • s U tu 21
  • s U Tu 13
  • S u tu 17

The total number, N, of individuals is 230.

In a tri-hybrid cross, it can occur that the three genes assort independently or that two of them are linked and the thrid not, or that the three genes are linked. In this example, in particular, the three genes are linked on the same chromosome.

Knowing that the genes are linked, we can calculate genetic distances between them. First, we need to know their order in the chromosome, and to do so, we need to compare the genotypes of the parental gametes with the ones of the double recombinants. We can recognize the parental gametes in the descendants because their phenotypes are the most frequent, while the double recombinants are the less frequent. So:

Parental)

  • s u TU (70 individuals)
  • S U tu (82 individuals)

Double recombinant)

  • S U Tu (2 individuals)
  • s u tu (4 individuals)

Comparing them we will realize that between

s u TU (parental)

s u tu (double recombinant)

and

S U tu (Parental)

S U TU (double recombinant)

They only change in the position of the alleles TU/tu. This suggests that the position of the gene TU is in the middle of the other two genes, S and U, because in a double recombinant only the central gene changes position in the chromatid.

So, the order of the genes is:

---- S ---- TU -----U ----

In a scheme it would be like:

Chromosome 1:

---s---TU---u--- (Parental chromatid)

---s---tu---u--- (Double Recombinant chromatid)

Chromosome 2

---S---tu---U--- (Parental chromatid)

---S---TU---U--- (Double Recombinant chromatid)

Now we will call Region I to the area between S and TU and Region II to the area between TU and U.

Once established the order of the genes we can calculate distances between them, and we will do it from the central gene to the genes on each side. First We will calculate the recombination frequencies, and we will do it by region. We will call P1 to the recombination frequency between S and TU genes, and P2 to the recombination frequency between TU and U.

P1 = (R + DR) / N

P2 = (R + DR)/ N

Where: R is the number of recombinants in each region, DR is the number of double recombinants in each region, and N is the total number of individuals.  So:

  • P1 = (R + DR) / N

        P1 = (21+17+4+2)/230

        P1 = 44/230

        P1 = 0.191

  • P2= = (R + DR) / N

        P2 = (21+13+4+2)/230

        P1 = 40/230

        P1 = 0.174

Now, to calculate the recombination frequency between the two extreme genes, S and U, we can just perform addition or a sum:

P1 + P2= Pt

0.191 + 0.174 = Pt

0.365=Pt

The genetic distance will result from multiplying that frequency by 100 and expressing it in map units (MU). One centiMorgan (cM) equals one map unit (MU).

The map unit is the distance between the pair of genes for which one of every 100 meiotic products results in a recombinant product. Now we must multiply each recombination frequency by 100 to get the genetic distance in map units:

GD1= P1 x 100 = 0.191 x 100 = 19.1 MU

GD2= P2 x 100 = 0.174 x 100 = 17.4 MU

GD3=Pt x 100 = 0.365 x 100 = 36.5 MU

To calculate the coefficient of coincidence, CC, we must use the next formula:

CC= observed double recombinant frequency/expected double recombinant frequency

Note:

  • observed double recombinant frequency=total number of observed double recombinant individuals/total number of individuals
  • expected double recombinant frequency: recombination frequency in region I x recombination frequency in region II.

CC= ((2 + 4)/230)/0.174x0.191

CC=(6/230)/0.0332

CC=0.7857

The coefficient of interference, I, is complementary with CC.

I = 1 - CC

I = 1 - 0.7857

I = 0.2143            

Scientists today can use many investigative methods to study evolution. Which method was developed after Darwin'stime?
O DNA comparisons
o observations
O comparison of fossils
O experimentation

Answers

Answer:

DNA comparisons

Explanation:

The molecular nature of DNA and its role in inheritance and evolution was not known during Darwin's time.  Therefore, it was not possible to compare similarities in DNA sequences between different species to understand their evolutionary relationships.  

This type of method was not in regular use until the 1980s/1990s, when sequencing and DNA amplification technologies were invented
