Humidity<span> is the amount of </span>water<span> vapor in the air. </span>Humidity<span> varies from place to place and season to season.

</span><span>There are two types of Humidity:
Absolute Humidity and Relative Humidity.
 
Absolute Humidity is the weight of water vapor in a cubic meter of air. The higher the temperature, the higher the ability of air to hold water. For example, at 20 C, the maximum Absolute Humidity is 17.3 g/m^3. At 50 C, the maximum Absolute Humidity is 83.0 g/m^3.  Relative Humidity is the % of water vapor in the air relative to the maximum possible Absolute Humidity.</span><span>

</span><span>When we use the word Humidity in ordinary speech, we're talking about Relative Humidity. So,  if the humidity is 95% or even 100%, that doesn't mean 95% or 100% of the air around us is water vapor; just the amount of water in the air is 95% or 100% of the maximum it can hold. 
</span>
Therefore, we wouldn't drown at 95% humidity, we will be uncomfortable due to the heat content of air and water but we are still be able to breathe. I hope this answer helps.

(03.05 MC) In which of the following ways is DNA replication different from DNA transcription? (2 points) New cells can only be
Softa [21]
The correct option is D.
Transcription is the process by which the information in a DNA molecule is copied into an mRNA strand. Replication is the process by which two new strands of DNA are formed from a single parent DNA. Both the DNA and the RNA are composed of four different bases, three of the bases are the same while one is different for the DNA and RNA. It is only the RNA that has uracil while it is only the DNA that has thymine. Thus, Uracil is involved during the process of transcription since it is an mRNA strand that is formed while thymine is the one involved during the process of replication since it is a DNA molecule that is formed.<span />

Although they have different classes but their exoskeleton shares same composition and internal structure. Both use this to protect themselves against predators.
