Humans must work together to create a sustainable world. What can you do to contribute to this cause?

What will be an ideal response?


By simply reducing the amount of resources you use, in particular water and energy, you can begin to have an immediate impact on sustainability. Be diligent in recycling, which will greatly reduce the amount of trash you generate that goes into landfills. The decision regarding how large your family will be is a much more personal and difficult consideration. However, reducing growth in human population is needed to avoid exceeding carrying capacity. Additionally, work with organizations that are attempting to reduce world poverty can make a difference and offer enormous personal fulfillment.

The principle of independent assortment states that:

1.One allele is always dominant to another. 2.Hereditary units from the male and female parents are blended in the offspring. 3.The two hereditary units that influence a certain trait segregate during gamete formation. 4.Each hereditary unit on one chromosome is inherited separately from hereditary units on other chromosomes. 5.Genes on the same chromosome travel separately.
