What are the effects of pollution to living and non-living environment?

The effects of pollution on living organisms include mutations, exposure to carcinogens, and introduction of unnatural compounds and elements into their habitats. Effects on the non-living environment include changes to Earth's chemistry and atmosphere.


Some alleles are neither dominant or recessive and many traits are controlled by what?

Each person has two alleles of one particular gene, which controls one particular characteristic, such as a person's blood group. An allele may be either dominant, recessive, or codominant. A dominant allele would dominate the other allele in the chromosomes, meaning only the dominant allele would contribute to an organism's characteristics. An example of this is the A blood group, which is dominant to the O allele. However, if an individual has both A and B alleles, A and B are codominant, as they both exhibit effects on an organism's characteristics (the blood group). This results in an AB blood group - a combination of the effects of two genes!


What are the effects of decaying materials to human health?

That's not answerable because you do not specify anything. The effects you ask very much depend on the identity and nature of the materials, their quantity, the nature of their decay and of any by-products, the objective hazards they pose intact and in decaying, the state of any necessary storage etc., and the exposure of people to those hazards.


What is a group of interacting objects and effects that are selected for investigation?

A group of interacting objects and effects selected for investigation is often referred to as a "system." In scientific studies, a system is defined by its boundaries, which determine what is included or excluded from analysis. The interactions within the system can involve various factors, such as physical, chemical, or biological processes, and understanding these interactions helps researchers draw conclusions and make predictions about the system's behavior.

Identify five conditions that may be included as part of an organism's environment?

Temperature: The degree of hotness or coldness that can affect an organism's metabolism and overall health. Light: The amount and type of light an organism receives can impact its growth, behavior, and reproduction. Food availability: The presence or absence of necessary nutrients can determine an organism's survival and development. Predators: The presence of predators can influence an organism's behavior, habitat selection, and population dynamics. Pollution: Contaminants in the environment can have harmful effects on an organism's health and well-being.


What is the definition of acquired behavior?

Acquired behavior refers to learned behaviors that an individual develops through experiences, interactions, and observations in their environment. These behaviors are not genetically inherited but are instead shaped and modified over time.

How does an organism benefit if it looks like a poisonous organism?

The organism benefits because prey will avoid it. Most animals that have had a 'snoot' full of a bitter tasting (usually posion taste foul to the prey) posinous animals, they tend to avoid anything that resembles it. These visual effects are helpful in the event the prey has been bitten and has become ill from the actual posinous organism.

What are the possible consequences of adding an organism to a food chain?

Adding an organism to a food chain can disrupt the balance of the ecosystem by altering the availability of resources and changing the population dynamics of other species. This can lead to competition for resources, shifts in species distribution, and potentially cause cascading effects throughout the food chain.
