A farmer wanted to rid his apple trees of a particular leaf-eating insect. he sprayed his trees with an insecticide that killed

98% of the insects. the survival of 2% of this population of insects is most likely due to a genes obtained from another species b certain chemicals that stimulated overproduction c variations that resulted from sexual reproduction d their ability to produce food from the pesticide

The survival of the 2 percent of the population is due to the presence of a gene obtained from other species. This gene must be responsible for developing resistance in the insects, against the insecticide that was used by the farmer. The gene got incorporated in only 2% of the insects and therefore, they survived and rest of them were susceptible to the insecticide and thus, died.

Why is primase required for DNA replication?
slava [35]

Answer:

Primase is a DNA dependent RNA polymerase. It adds RNA primer to the DNA strand and lay the foundation of DNA replication.

It is important because DNA polymerase can add nucleotides to the 3'- end of the strand.

Primase, in the form of RNA primers provide free 3'- end to the DNA polymerase and thus, help in initiating DNA replication.

At the end of replication RNA primers are removed by DNA polymerase I.

Why does the DNA double helix have a uniform diameter? a. Deoxyribose sugars bind with ribose sugars. b. Nucleotides bind with n
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

e. Purines pair with pyrimidines

Explanation:

Diameter of DNA double helix is uniform through out the structure and it is 2 nm. This uniformity is due to the base pairing between a purine and a pyramidine. Purine base is made of two rings and pyramidine base has a single ring. All the bases are either derived from purine or from pyramidine structure and a purine always pairs with pyramidine. Two purines or two pyramidines can not pair with each other. So at any point along the DNA molecule, the sugar phosphate backbones always have three ring structure between them, hence the uniform diameter.

Water is found throughout the earth. It is comprised of hydrogen and oxygen atoms. Water changes into different physical states
madam [21]

Answer:

Water obeys the Law of Conservation of Matter despite changing into different forms because when water does change forms, the amount of water stays the same. The Law of Conservation of Matter states that before matter undergoes change, be it through physical or chemical means, the same amount of matter exists. Matter cannot be created nor destroyed during the change. When water changes from a liquid to a gas the molecules change form by breaking the bonds that held them in a liquid state, but this does not create new matter. The molecules can now move more freely but are still the same as they were before. Same goes with the change from a liquid to a solid. The molecules slow down and become more compact, forming a solid. Though again, this does not create new matter nor destroy existing matter, therefore obeying the Law of Conservation of Matter.

What does it mean to be less/more dense
mojhsa [17]
For something to be more dense, it means that it has more particles in a unit, this means it is alot of things:
>heavier
>thick
>harder to penatrate

An analogy of this: Two glasses of water are sitting on a table, gelatin (the stuff that makes jelly) is added in both and mixed evenly. There is more gelatin in glass A than glass B.
This means glass A is more dense even though it is the same size as glass B.
