The appropriate answer is d. gases such as carbon dioxide and methane. These gases are known as greenhouse gases and they trap heat in the form of infrared radiation. Without this effect the earth would be 30 degrees cooler. Nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide are examples of other greenhouse gases. An increase in the volume of these gases is responsible for present day global warming that is causing a change in the the earth's climate.

What 3 molecules that aren't DNA helps us learn about evolution?
max2010maxim [7]
We know, DNA is the main molecule by which scientists can learn about evolution by comparing the DNA structure between two different organisms. 
But, in addition to DNA (which is most helpful & important) still, there are 3 molecules that can help us, They are:

1) RNA : - It is found in cytoplasm, as DNA transfers it's codes into RNA during Central dogma, it can help us in evolution studies.

2) Proteins: - Another helpful feature, into which RNA transforms in Central Dogma.

3) Pseudogenes: - It is also known as "Non-coding DNA" It is extra <span>DNA in a genome that do not get transcribed into RNA to synthesize proteins. They can also help us in Evolutionary studies.

Hope this helps!</span>
