<h2>Answer:</h2>

Mesosphere

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The atmospheric layer that protects the Earth against danger of the rocks is the mesosphere. This layer is above the stratosphere. The temperature drops in this layer to about -100 degrees Celsius. This is the coldest region of the atmosphere. The mesosphere burns up most meteors and asteroids before they are able to reach the earth's surface. It becomes cold enough to freeze water vapor in its atmosphere into ice clouds.

Answer:

<u>the mesosphere  </u>

Explanation:

The mesosphere is the lowest layer of the stratosphere and coldest layer of atmosphere. The incoming meteors and debris from the space are burned away in this layer. As the debris passes the layers of the atmosphere, the friction causes them to burn and destroy before these reach the surface thereby protecting the Earth's surface. On the bodies like mercury and moon, we can find the surface has many impact craters. This is because there is no atmosphere on mercury and moon which could protect their surfaces.

slava [35]

Answer:

In the most general case of x bases and y bases per codon, the total number of possible codons is equal to xy . In the case of the hypothetical Martian life-forms, is the minimum codon length needed to specify 17 amino acids is 5 (25 = 32), with some redundancy (meaning that more than one codon could code for the same amino acid).  For life on Earth, x = 4 and y = 3; thus the number of codons is 43, or 64. Because there are only 20 amino acids, there is a lot of redundancy in the code (there are several codons for each amino acid).

What is the function of the water monitor lizards claws
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

Claws. These strong, curved claws can tear flesh and inflict fearsome wounds. Water Monitors eat only meat and sometimes tackle prey nearly their own size. Claws may allow the Arboreal taxa to physically separate themselves from the larger monitors of the savannah by living in trees, eliminating them as competition and potential predators.
