The correct answer is - one-half.

In the past century, the deforestation of the rainforests in the world had been devastating, and it is estimated that approximately one half of the tropical rainforests have been destroyed.

The reason for the large scale destruction of the rainforests is mainly because of clearing space for agriculture and for spaces where the cattle can graze. Unfortunately, the people that live the regions where the tropical forests are, are not well educated as to how to manage the land, and a big problem is that the soil of the rainforests is only good for 2-3 seasons, because it spends and erodes very quickly. Because of that, people just continue to clear more and more of it, thus leaving destroyed forest and destroyed soil behind them, without taking in consideration the long term effects.

If an object is moving with a force of 99N at 12.5m/sec2, what is the mass of this object?
Fofino [41]

1) F = m.a

Here, F= 99N, a = 12.5 m/s^2

m = F/a

m = 99/12.5

m = 7.92 Kg

2) weight = mg

Here, m = 55 Kg, g = 9.8 m/s^2

W = 55*9.8 = 539 Newtons.

Who was responsible for "cracking the code" of DNA by establishing what amino acids are coded for by which codons, and when was
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

The correct answer is- Nirenberg and Heinrich, 1961.

Explanation:

Experiments by Marshall Nirenberg and Heinrich Matthaei in 1961, began to decipher genetic codes and state about the 64 triplet codons in the genetic code by using mRNA from DNA to translate into specific amino acids in our biological system.

Their experiment helps to decode or crack the code of DNA by establishing the first codon out of 64 triplet codes which are  UUU codes for phenylalanine. In the future, the same approach is used to find other amino acids.
