Rainfall is measured as depth on the surface of the Earth, typically in mm. We know the volume of water in the rain gauge: 1414 cubic centimetres. We know need to know the area of the Earth that this volume fell on. This would be the area of the funnel opening that points up to the sky to catch the rain. We know the diameter is 24 cm. So we need to determine the area of a circle with a diameter of 24 cm. The equation to use is: area = pi * radius^2. Since the radius of a circle is half the diameter, the equation is:
So area is <span>3.14159 * 12^2
= 452.39 cm^2
Volume = depth * area
depth = volume/area
depth = </span>1414/452.39
= 3.13 cm = 31.3 mm
Answer:
Advances in DNA technology have allowed for treatments such as gene therapy in the medical field. Nowadays, there are tools like the CRIPSR-Cas9 - harnessed from bacteria's immune system- that can nip a ‘bad’ region of DNA, which is responsible for disease, and replace it with a proper functioning bit. This is how genetic disorders are going to be addressed in the near future in mainstream medical facilities.
Recombinant DNA technology is being used to create clones of transgenic organisms that produce products of significance in the medical fields. An example is incorporating the insulin gene in bacteria genome. These clones of modified bacteria colonies secrete insulin protein that is purified and injected in diabetic persons to lower their sugar level to normal.

Answer:
Lactase
Explanation:
Lac operon (lactose) is degraded to glucose and galactose by three enzymes :beta galactosidase, galactoside permease and thiogalactosidase transacetylase.
