Gjerde says, "we used to think the solution to pollution was dilution." what do you think she means by this and what example does she provide?

Explanation:

I can give you the meaning. Likely in your notes somewhere is her example. I found out that she is a real person.

If you were using the first insecticides, they were made so that they were water soluble. When you were finished spraying, you put water into a large container before dumping it onto the ground. That way the concentration was reduced. The problem was, the insects mutated and the insecticide became ineffective, so you had to make stronger ones until today (herbicides that is plant killers) there really is no good way to keep these things out of the water table. The manufacturers assure us that we will not be harmed by Roundup. The courts in California are not so sure. If you want more, you should search out the history of roundup.

The example I think is the best example is disposable diapers. They are the most environmentally unfriendly thing I can think of.

an individual’s sex (i.e., whether they are a male or female) is determined by the sex chromosomes. most people have two sex chromosomes, one that is inherited from their mother and one that is inherited from their father. typically, females have two x chromosomes (xx) and males have one x chromosome and one y chromosome (xy). conditions caused by changes (“mutations”) in genes located on the x chromosome are considered x-linked.

x-linked recessive inheritance

most x-linked conditions are recessive. this means that in a person with two x chromosomes (most females), both copies of a gene (i.e., one on each x chromosome) must have a change or mutation whereas in a person with one x chromosome (most males), only one copy of a gene must have a mutation. a female with a mutation in one copy of a gene on the x chromosome is said to be a “carrier” for an x-linked condition. a male with a mutation in a gene on the x chromosome is typically affected with the condition. because females have two copies of the x chromosome and males have only one x chromosome, x-linked recessive diseases are more common among males than females. however, x-linked recessive diseases can occur in both males and females.

for x-linked recessive disorders, an unaffected carrier mother who has a mutation in a gene on the x chromosome can transmit either the x chromosome with this mutation or a “normal” x chromosome to her children. if the father is unaffected, none of her daughters will be affected and all of her daughters will be unaffected—since they will inherit at least one normal x chromosome from their father. however, each daughter will have a 50% chance of being an unaffected carrier like her mother and a 50% chance of both x chromosomes being normal.

some fungi obtain their nutrients from a living host (plant or animal) and are called most biotrophic fungi have fairly narrow host ranges—they are specialized on a limited called rhizomorphs that allow the fungus to grow from one tree to another. ascospores are formed inside a sac-like structure called an ascus. so your answer is a
