Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Some deserts are formed due to the movement of hot air masses and the lack of moisture from the tropics, influenced by the Earth's rotation. These masses, after cooling in the atmosphere and curving north and south, begin to lose latitude up to approximately 30 °, however, they gain heat from the descent by increasing their ability to retain and "absorb" the available water in the soil. These deserts are between 30 ° to 50 ° (north / south). Examples are the Sahara Desert in Africa and Soonora in North America.

Deserts tend to form around 30 latitude because that region is the subtropics where they experience high air pressure so clouds won't form and there would be very little or no precipitation and because it is far inland so far away from bodies of water so to answer your question no probability not

In the late 1950s, Meselson and Stahl grew bacteria in a medium containing "heavy" (radioactive) nitrogen (13N) and then transfe

<h2>Replication </h2>

Explanation:

Meselson and Stahl began the experiment by growing E. coli in medium, or nutrient broth, containing a "heavy" isotope of nitrogen

When grown on medium containing heavy nitrogen the bacteria took up the nitrogen and used it to synthesize new biological molecules including DNA

After many generations growing in the heavy nitrogen, the nitrogenous bases of the bacteria's DNA were all labeled with heavy nitrogen and then the bacteria were switched to bacteria containing a light nitrogen and allowed to grow for several generations

They then measured the density of the DNA using density gradient centrifugation

Results obtained contained heavy DNA,Light DNA and hybrid of Light and heavy DNA

The experiment done by Meselson and Stahl demonstrated that DNA replicated semi-conservatively, meaning that each strand in a DNA molecule serves as a template for synthesis of a new, complementary strand

Had it been conservative mode of replication, DNA replication would have resulted in one molecule consisting of both original DNA strands (identical to the original DNA molecule) and another molecule consisting of two new strands (with exactly the same sequences as the original molecule)

What is mean by diabetes?

natulia [17]

Answer:

Diabetes is the condition in which the body does not properly process food for use as energy. Most of the food we eat is turned into glucose, or sugar, for our bodies to use for energy. The pancreas, an organ that lies near the stomach, makes a hormone called insulin to help glucose get into the cells of our bodies.
