The figure below shows the formation and sinking of dense water in the Arctic Ocean between Greenland and northwest Europe. Why

is there an increased density of surface waters in this region?
A. Evaporation decreases salinity, and heavy polar air increases atmospheric pressure.
B. Evaporation decreases salinity, and cool atmospheric temperatures decrease water temperature.
C. Formation of sea ice increases salinity, and heavy polar air increases atmospheric pressure.
D. Formation of sea ice increases salinity, and cool atmospheric temperatures decrease water temperature.

Answer: The correct option is A. Evaporation decreases salinity, and heavy polar air increases atmospheric pressure.

The ocean circulation conveyor belt or the thermohaline circulation of sea water that circulates massive water currents from northern to southern oceans and again back. The warm water on releasing heat becomes denser and sinks down. This closed circulation loop makes the cold water move towards the tropical region at the deeper levels.

The decrease in salinity results due to evaporation. The density of sea water depends on pressure, temperature and salinity. Density increases when temperature decreases and salinity increases. The wind field pattern is formed from the warm ascending air from the low atmospheric pressure in tropical region and high atmospheric pressure from the cool descending air in subtropical region.

In the Arctic region dense sinking surface water is counteracted by the release of fresh water due to melting of ice and a high atmospheric pressure. The low temperature in the polar region makes the air heavy and is forced to descend which causes high pressure zone.

Answer:

Option-D

Explanation:

Plasmodesmata are the plasma membrane lined pores present in the cells of the plants. Inside these pores runs a closed tubelike structure which is an extension of the endoplasmic reticulum.

The plasmodesmata allows cell to cell communication which involves symplast mode of transport that is through its cytoplasm.

The small water soluble molecules like amino acid and sugars can easily pass through these plasmodesmata via diffusion. The large molecules can be transported through these plamodesmata through selective diffusion.

Thus, Option-D is the correct answer.

When DNA is compacted by histones into 10-nm and 30-nm fibers, the DNA is unable to interact with proteins required for gene exp
poizon [28]

Answer:

This is through the process of methylation and phosphorylation of histones tails.

Explanation:

The addition of   a methyl group  to the amino acid of the histones of the  nucleosomes   that compacted DNA  in the nucleus is  called mehtylation, while the addtion of phodpahte is phosphorylation

Its  effects  on  gene expression depends on the number of <u> methyl groups, and type of amino acid that  methylated. During transcription. </u>

<u />

The DNA double strands are compacted and therefore  hidden  from transcription factors and enzymes of transcription by the hitones  tails of the neuclosomes, Methylation  weaken the binding bonds between the tails and DNA structure ; thereby aiding the uncoiling of DNA  from the  tails.(nucleosomes).This chemical  reaction  aided  DNA  strands  exposure   to transcription factors and enzymes, for initiation of transcription. This explains the dyanmic activity of methylation

Futhermore phophorylation also favours unwrapping of DNA, by imitating   modifying enzymes e.g H3Y41E and H3T45E  and convert it to→→ H3Y41phopspahte to aid DNA unwrapping and accessibility to  transcription factors and RNA polymerase Enzymes,
