Why are most fertilizers rich in nitrogen and phosphorous?

Biology

Cause nitrogen causes plants to grow very well. I don't think plants can do anything with nitrogen gas, the only way they can get it is through the roots, called fixed nitrogen. In nature the only things that fix nitrogen are lightning and microbes that exist in roots of certain plants. So nitrogen is rare in nature and is a limiting factor in plant growth.

Most fertilizers are made from animal (Cow most of the time) waste. The animal waste is high in animal byproducts which are mostly nitrogen and phosphorous.

I apologize that I can't give more of a specific answer without getting more background information for your unit.

How might an individual's own cells lead to false verdicts of guilt.
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

Through a circumstance known as "secondary transfer DNA", or "Touch DNA".

Explanation:

Most times when a crime is committed, DNA samples are obtained from surfaces in the scene where the crime was committed. There is a very huge possibility of picking up the DNA of someone who was never at the scene of the crime and this is a result of a condition known as Touch DNA.

Because we touch several objects which can be moved to different locations and touch people who are also always mobile, our DNA cells can find their ways to a crime scene where we had never physically been to. This can lead to false verdicts of guilt.
