Explanation:

These questions are related to the extraction of DNA using detergents and ethanol.

1. Consistency and texture- the extracted DNA is white, spongy and moist or slime in nature.

2. Salt is used during the extraction process as the DNA is negatively charged molecule and to neutralize the negative charge which will allow the formation of precipitate.

3. The DNA is soluble in aqueous solution as the DNA is a negatively charged molecule therefore the negative charge makes it a polar molecule and it can form the interactions in the aqueous solution.

4. RNA could be present in the aqueous solution along with the DNA as both are the nucleic acid.

5. The base-pairing rule was suggested by the Chargaff who proposed that Adenine binds thymine and guanine binds cytosine.

5. The binding of adenine to thymine involves two hydrogen bonds and between guanine to cytosine involves three hydrogen bonds.

stiv31 [10]
<span>A. endoskeleton

</span>Endoskeleton is not a characteristic of Arthropods that has attributed to their diversity and success. Endoskeleton is defined as inner characteristics of the skeletal feature of an organisms such as bears, humans, fish and etc.

Exoskeleton on the other hand is the trait by which arthropods posses. It is skeletal feature that is described outside or is extrinsic, this is evident as crabs have their skeletons outside of their body.

Why cloning is considered as unethical? <br>​
vredina [299]

Answer:

Because the risks associated with reproductive cloning in humans introduce a very high likelihood of loss of life, the process is considered unethical. There are other philosophical issues that also have been raised concerning the nature of reproduction and human identity that reproductive cloning might violate.

In a certain population of rabbits one year, 25 new rabbits are born and 5 move into the population from surrounding areas. Howe
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

Population change is 15

Explanation:

To calculate the change in populations, we add up the immigrants and births and the subtract the deaths and emigrant from it

Change in pop = (birth + immigrants) - (death + emigrants).

Where birth is 25, immigrants is 5, death is 10 and emigrants is 5.

Change in pop = (25+5) - (10+5)

= 30-15

Change in population is 15.
