The correct answer is option (a) warm water holds less oxygen.

Thermal pollution refers to the increase in the temperature of water bodies like lakes, rives or oceans due to the discharge of heated liquid or hot air. This affects the aquatic organisms as they have a specific temperature requirement for their survival. This also affects the other parameters of the water body, of which, dissolved oxygen has a higher impact.

The warm temperature of the water body holds less dissolved oxygen than the water at the normal temperature. This gradually creates an anaerobic environment inside the water body killing fishes and other aquatic organisms.

Thus, thermal pollution kills fishes primarily because warm water holds less oxygen.

Thermal pollution is when the water temperature goes from one extreme to another whether cold to hot or hot to cold, so I would say B.

Which of the following is a reason why sticky end producing restriction enzymes are preferred compared to blunt end ones?

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

D) Because sticky ends can be temporarily held together by hydrogen bonding between the two strands.

Explanation:

Restriction enzymes cut the DNA at specific restriction sites and by the mechanism of action they can form two types of ends:

sticky ends-single-stranded overhangs are formed
blunt ends-without overhangs.

The main advantage of sticky ends (their overhangs) is that they can complementary bind to another overhand formed by the same restriction enzyme. So, for example in cloning, if the DNA of interest and plasmid vector are cut with the same restriction enzyme, that forms sticky ends, fragment of DNA will fit into a bacterial plasmid in one direction.

On the other hand, blunt ends can be inserted into vector in both directions: head-to-tail or tail-to-head.

The data table above includes the distance each planet is from the sun. Students in an Earth science class were asked to explain

Serga [27]

Student 4

Explanation:

The sun has less gravitational pull on Neptune because it is farther away. Gravity is the force by which a planet or other body draws objects towards its center.
Gravity keeps all the planets in its position and allows it to move in its orbit.
The force of gravity is inversely proportional to the distance between two objects.

So when the distance increases, the force weakens. Since Neptune approximately 4.8 billion kilometers away from the sun, its gravitational force is very less.

5. Design an experiment that

notsponge [240]

Explanation: this experiment is long term which means patience is compulsory. you need to have a wild sloth and a domesticated sloth adopted right at their birth (he should be in a controlled environment that mimics the wild). your domesticated sloth shouldn't have the algae. at their middle age, you should compare them with them from every aspect.

Dna is used to tell people apart. What aspects of dna do you think make this possible?.

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

DNA can be used to tell people apart because humans differ from each other based on either their DNA sequences or the lengths of repeated regions of DNA. Length difference are typically used in forensics and paternity testing.
