It is dry in deserts and hot too. There are special kinds of plants that grow in desserts means they have specialized characteristics which help them beat the dry and hot weather.

Succulent plants such as cacti, aloes, agaves have ability to store water in their leaves and stems which have thick and hard outer layer to avoid evaporation of water.

These plants have small spicules on their outer surface which protects them from animals as well.

Answer:

Sun is too hot the climate is too dry

Explanation:

Deserts are characterized by presence of very hot and dry climatic conditions.  The plant species found in deserts have morphological and behavioral adaptations to withstand the unfavorable growth conditions. Since only a few plant species have adaptations to cope up with extremes of temperatures and water scarcity, few plants can survive in a desert.

A biochemist isolates and purifies various molecules needed for DNA replication. When she adds these molecules to DNA, replicati
olga55 [171]

Answer:

DNA ligase

Explanation:

<em>The biochemist must have left out DNA ligase enzyme.</em>

<u>The DNA ligase enzyme is able to catalyze the formation of phosphodiester bonds and as such, capable of joining strands of DNA together to form a single strand.</u>

The numerous DNA segments of a few nucleotides long observed by the biochemist must have been the replicated product of the lagging DNA strand. The lagging strand is replicated discontinuously in short strands because the DNA polymerase enzyme can only elongate primers in 5' to 3' direction. The short segments are known as Okazaki segments and are usually joined together to form a whole strand by the DNA ligase enzyme.

Hence, the missing component is the DNA ligase.

Mitosis needs to occur in eukaryotic organims because the cell could keep growing an it is going to be less efficient in moving material across the cell membrane. They reason why mitosis happens is because volume and surface are do not increase at the same rate.
