Answer:

Option D, the mountain receives lake-effect snow.

Explanation:

Mount McKinley is the center of Denali and it is also the part of Alaskan Range of mountain peaks  which is surrounded by low lands. This mountain has extreme weather variations which is entirely different from the areas of south central Alaska.

However the lake at the base reduces the rate of increase of temperature at the base of Denali. It is so because the angle at which the lake water contacts the Denali mountain , decreases the  increase in temperature.

Hence, option D is correct

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

Harshey and chase labeled T2 bacteriophage with radioactive sulfur and radioactive phosphorus. As DNA contains phosphorus, not protein and protein contain sulfur, not phosphorus, therefore, the presence of radioactivity in cell can determine which is the genetic material .

Then Harshey and Chase infected <em>E.coli</em> with T2 bacteriophage and centrifuged the cell. They found radioactive phosphorus in cell pellet and radioactive sulfur in supernatant.

So by this experiment, they concluded and proved that DNA is the genetic material that gets transfer from one generation to another.
