In the 1900s, many hydroelectric dams were built in order to harness the energy of moving water. The dams supplied a clean source of renewable energy, but they did cause other environmental problems. Which of the following resources was no longer quickly renewed because of the hydroelectric dams? A.
fertile sediments in flood plains and deltas
B.
the amount of wind energy blowing across the rivers' watersheds
C.
beds of coal and other fossil fuels found in the rivers' valleys
D.
sources of fresh water, such as springs and glaciers

Amale bird-of-paradise uses a dance to attract mates in which it flaps its tail feathers on the ground and jumps around a potential female mate. a different male bird-of-paradise does a similar dance but it jumps around the female in the opposite direction. the female bird is only attracted to one style of dance, in one direction.

Which of the following would be the best hypothesis for this experiment? a) use of the ginko biloba extract improves clinical outcomes when administered to patients with t2d. b) ginko biloba improves clinical outcomes of diabetes patients when combined with metformin. c) diabetes in patients is worsened when ginko biloba is taken in conjunction with metformin. d)the use of ginko biloba to treat t2d in combination with metformin lowers the cost of t2d treatment. ginko biloba shows benefits against t2d when combined with plant extracts as compared to other treatments.

Suppose a point mutation, such as a change from an adenine to a guanine, occurs in the genome of a human sperm cell. the mutation could occur in any region of a gene. the effect of the mutation on the phenotype of the offspring will be determined by where the mutation occurs and its effect on the final gene product. in which of the following scenarios could the mutation alter the phenotype of the offspring? select all of the scenarios that apply the mutation occurs in the promoter and affects the rate of gene transcription. the mutation results in a new, dominant allele the mutation occurs in a portion of an intron not responsible for exon splicing the mutation occurs in a gene that controls development and alters differentiation of a cell type during development. the mutation occurs in a codon and alters the function of the final protein e mutation occurs in a codon, and the amino acid sequence of the final protein is unchanged.
