Plants do not grow near the old copper mine because of the excess copper deposited in them impairs cellular processes and inhibits plant growth.
What are micronutrients?
These are required by plants in much smaller quantities less than 1% of the dry weight but are necessary for growth and development. There are 7 essential plant nutrients like boron (B), zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), copper (Cu), molybdenum (Mo), and, chlorine (Cl).
Copper activates some enzymes in plants that are involved in lignin synthesis and are required in the process of photosynthesis.
Excess copper causes reduced seed germination, low shoot vigour, and lower iron availability. A deficiency of copper can lead to increased to susceptibility to diseases like ergot, which can cause significant loss in the yield.
Plants growing in the old copper mine have the excess deposition of copper in one place which affects the germination of seeds hence it is found difficult to grow in the old copper mine.
Plants can grow easily in a place that is further away from the old copper mine. Because there is a high concentration of copper dissolved in water in the soil, this helps the plant to grow by exhibiting the photosynthesis process.

I have attached lac operon model having 4 genes. See attachment for better understanding.
Answer:
The Lac operon is controlled by two signals.
Initiation
Glucose and lactose concentrations control the initiation of transcription of the Lac operon through their effects on the Lac repressor protein and Cap.
Lactose absent (Repression)
When lactose is absent, the Lac repressor binds the Lac operator and shuts off expression of the operon.
Lactose present (Transcription)
Addition of lactose increases the intracellular concentration of a related compound, allolactose. allolactose binds to the Lac repressor, causing it to undergo a conformational change that releases its grip on the operator DNa.
Glucose absent (Repression)
When glucose is absent, cyclic aMp (red triangle) is produced by the cell and Cap binds to DNA.
Glucose present (Transcription)
LacZ, the first gene of the operon, encodes the enzyme b-galactosidase, which breaks down lactose to galactose and glucose.
The natural rate of extinction as assumed by science is about 5 species per year. Currently scientists estimate we are losing species at 1000-10000 times that rate, with multiple species disappearing every day. A note on this idea is that the average extinction rate gives an unrealistic depiction of nature when we consider the catastrophic extinction events that ended the dinosaurs and shaped the ice age.
Answer:
La vida en la Tierra. Los estudios de los fósiles de rocas antiguas nos revelan que la vida probablemente comenzó hace unos 4 billones de años, cuando la Tierra era muy joven. Nadie sabe cómo comenzó la vida en nuestro planeta. La mayoría de los científicos piensa que se originó en el agua líquida
Explanation:
False because extrusive rocks have fine-grained texture due to the rapid cooling of magna above the earth surface. On the other hand extrusive rocks have course grained texture due to slow cooling of magna beneath the Earth's surface
