How does the use of hydroelectric energy compare to the use of coal? a. hydroelectric energy is more commonly used than coal. b. hydroelectric energy is associated with less waste production than coal. c. hydroelectric energy has a larger environmental impact than coal use. d. hydroelectric energy requires more land space than coal use.

The tasmanian devil, a marsupial carnivore, is facing extinction due to devil facial tumor disease (dftd) which causes bulging cancerous lumps and lesions to erupt around the face and neck — often causing enough deformation to make seeing or eating difficult. dftd has evolved into a contagious cancer, a trait that is unique among cancers. devil mating behavior involves biting around the head and neck, allowing cells from one individual — especially cells from the crumbly dftd tumors — to be transferred to the wounds or face of a new individual. this marsupial was once found across australia, but sea levels rose, isolating the tasmanian population, while the australian population went extinct. what would be an outcome of genetic isolation that is likely to have impacted the spread of dftd? a) reduced territory puts diseased individuals in greater contact with non-diseased ones. b) inbreeding results in less variation in facial features so the cancer is generally fatal. c) genetic isolation has made it difficult for scientists to develop a vaccine against dftd. d) the lack of genetic variation in the immune system of tasmanian devils minimizes resistance to the disease.

Why does meiosis produce cells with half the chromosomes? o a. most of the chromosomes are not necessary to keep an organism alive. b. a gamete needs only half the number of chromosomes because two gametes join together. o c. it makes the gametes easier to move around in the organism. o d. it is faster to produce gametes with fewer chromosomes.

How are proteins and nucleic acids related? they both provide energy. they both carry genetic information. the structure of proteins is determined by nucleic acids. the subunits of nucleic acids are also the subunits of proteins.
