Destruction of the forest results in the disappearance of the species in this forest, which might not be found in other forests. This means that some species will become extinct. Extinction of species leads to reduction of biodiversity - the correct answer is the first one: forest destruction will <span> reduce biodiversity and remove organisms with the potential to help humans</span>
Answer:
Valley lizard = Oviparous
Mountain lizard = Viviparous
Explanation:
In Darwin's theory survival of the fittest, he believed species adapt or change within their environment. So I believe lizards living in a valley would be more safe to lay their eggs but lizards living in the mountains would be viviparous because of the non-predicted and unsafe environment which could harm the better chances of development of the offspring.
DNA replication occurs in the 5 prime (5') to 3 prime (3') direction.
I'm sure you've heard this many times. I tutor in genetics, and all of my students can rattle that off. Less understand what it means.
First, understanding what 5' and 3' mean is important. DNA is composed of a ribose sugar, a phosphate group, and a base (A,T,G,C). The sugar has a phosphate group attached to its fifth carbon, and a hydroxyl group on its 3rd carbon. Nucleotides (separate components of DNA) are linked by the phosphate group and the hydroxyl group. So, every nucleotide is linked at the phosphate group and the hydroxyl group besides two - the two nucleotides at either end of the strand of DNA. The one that leaves a phosphate group exposed is called the 5' end of DNA, and the one that leaves a hydroxyl group exposed is called the 3' end of DNA.
<span>A problem with many students just memorizing that replication occurs in the 5' to 3' direction is that there are two strands of DNA involved in replication. DNA polymerase (the major enzyme responsible for replication) reads the already existing strand of DNA in the 3' to 5' direction, and creates the new strand of DNA in the 5' to 3' direction (meaning that it adds nucleotides to the 3' end of the new strand).</span>
