Answer:

Tilling breaks the natural structure of the ground by exposing the organic matter, accelerates mineralization, and pollutes.

Explanation:

Organic matter, together with porosity and humidity directly influence in the recovery of the soil structure and stability when these are exposed to different mechanical treatments or actions. Porosity and soil matrix continuity directly influence in the hydraulic conductivity and interchange water and air processes.

Tilling systems affect the productivity of the crops, and the physic, chemical and hydraulic characteristics of the soil. Tilling modifies the superficial layer of soil, alters the continuity of porosity and reduces the amount of organic matter in the ground.

Intensive use of tilling contributes severely to the carbon emission. Carbon is stored in the soil and when this last one is altered by tilling, carbon is exposed and released out in the open, becoming CO². This gas is one of the gases of the greenhouse effect and one of the causes of global warming.

Intense tilling breaks the natural structure of the ground by exposes the organic matter, it accelerates mineralization,  and it pollutes.

Jan's sister and mother have both had breast cancer. She is wondering if she should undergo genetic testing to check for a mutat
Lynna [10]
A) Yes, Jan should undergo genetic sequencing.
BRCA1/BRCA2 are the causes of 20-25% of all hereditary breast cancers, so if Jan's mother and sister both have breast cancer, then the odds are that she has BRCA1 as well.

B) 
Pros: If she does have an abnormal BRCA1 gene, she can take steps to lower her risk of breast cancer.

Cons: The tests can incite discrimination towards her in the workplace, and having it known she has a risk for breast cancer can severely increase the cost of insurance.

C) Genetic sequencing could affect the frequency of genetic diseases because the test could point out --- I can't finish because I have to go. I'm so sorry, reask the url of this question and ask someone to finish. Have a nice day!

During a heart attack, some of the cells in the thick layer of muscle in the heart walls die. This layer of muscle is called the
Taya2010 [7]
Myocardium

<span>The heart has four chambers, four valves. It is composed of cardiac muscles which all in all pumps blood throughout the human body through the blood vessels. When something gets injured around the heart, well it will automatically, in high possibility stop functioning. Take not of the valves and the most important is the sinoatrial node which is the pace maker of the heart. It is what triggers the heart to pump itself and the valves then function and the blood travels and then gets cleansed out of carbon dioxide in the alveoli.<span> </span></span>

A researcher is using the pUC18 vector to introduce a human gene into bacteria. He exposes bacteria to this recombinant molecule
allsm [11]

Answer:

The results from this experiment conclude that all of the resulting bacteria contain the pUC18 plasmid without the human gene.

The method of genetic engineering might seem very easy but in actual it is a very difficult task and most of the time a person won;t get the expected results. The chances of a vector to actually take up a recombinant DNA are very less. Even after this, the chances of a recombinant plasmid to enter a bacterial cell by transformation are very few.

What is the process by which two haploid cells (1n) combine to form a diploid cell (2n)?
Gnom [1K]

1 diploid cell (2n) cell becomes 4 haploid (n) germ cells (eggs or sperm). During meiosis, chromosomes are replicated once in S phase (just like mitosis), but the cell divides twice. ... The result: chromosomes after meiosis are genetically unique and have combinations of DNA derived from both parents.
