Question
Explain with diagram step-by-step energy conversion in Hydroelectric power plant:

Answer


Image
In hydroelectric plant the water stored in the reservoir is used as a source or potential energy. This water is made to fall at a great speed and hence there is production of kinetic energy in flowing water. This fast flowing water ralling down from the reservoir is brought to the turbine at the lower levels. The kinetic energy of the flowing water in turn drives the turbine, The turbine then drives the generator and electrical energy is produced.

They are not correct. The father with blood group A has genotype $I^AI^O.$ The mother with blood group $B$ has genotype $I^BI^O.$ Hence, the possible genotypes of the children will be $I^AI^B, I^AI^O, I^BI^O$ and $I^OI^O$. Thus, the possible blood groups of children will be $AB, A, B$ and $O.$ Hence, if the father has blood group A, and the mother has blood group $B, $ it is possible for them to have children with blood group O.
