The amoeba has a much larger genome (C-value) because A large percentage of eukaryotic genomes is non-coding DNA, the amoeba has much more non-coding DNA than the fruit fly.

  • The amount of DNA in an organism's haploid genome is measured by the C-value. It varies greatly, often rising in C-value as organism complexity increases—from prokaryotes to invertebrates, vertebrates, and plants.
  • The so-called C-Value Paradox refers to the finding that genome size does not always rise in proportion to an organism's apparent level of complexity.
  • In comparison to prokaryotes (organisms without a nucleus), such as bacteria, eukaryotes, or species having a nucleus to hold their genetic material (DNA), do have larger genomes.
  • Only 4 million base pairs make up the best friend of microbiologists, E. coli. On the other hand, the fly, Drosophila Melanogaster, has 140 million base pairs. Clearly, a fly is more complicated than a bacterium.

Name how soil and water is negatively affected by food production
Ber [7]

Answer:

Without these microbes, the health of the soil deteriorates and plant life is unable to grow. The loss of microbe biodiversity in soils has resulted in fertilizers and pesticides being required for crop production.food would be produced; and as such, the importance of healthy soils needs to be promoted and realized.

But soil health is negatively impacted by industrial agriculture practices like monocropping, synthetic fertilizers, pesticides and more.

Explanation:

good luck

svetoff [14.1K]
The glow stick that was in the cup of hot water will be brighter once it is bent. The production of more light is evidence that the chemical reaction in the glow stick is happening faster. The reaction happens faster, because increasing the temperature increases the rate of a chemical reaction.
