I think its called the <span>doldrums. I had a friend who lived in Africa on the equator and i remember her mentioning this (this was also in 2007, so dont quote me here lol)

A land developer and several ecologists are discussing how a parcel of private land should be developed with housing while savin
FromTheMoon [43]

Options for the question have not been provided. They are as follows:

A) The single intact parcel would have a smaller amount of edge than the 20 separate parcels.

B) The isolated hectare plots increase the ability of individuals to disperse from one habitat to another.

C) The separate 1-hectare plots are less vulnerable to edge effects.

D) The large plot will create more inbreeding in many species.

Answer:

A) The single intact parcel would have a smaller amount of edge than the 20 separate parcels.

Explanation:

In the given case, 20 hectares of land has been allocated to natural habitat. This means that natural flora and fauna will flourish here without any human interference. In this situation it is better to have an intact 20 hectares area at one side of the land, rather than having 20 separately spread out 1 hectare areas. This is because having one large piece of land at one side will reduce the edge effect.

Edges occur where two different habitats meet. While edges can be beneficial when it comes to natural habitats because the boundary habitat increases overall biodiversity, it can be detrimental when the edges are due to human settlements. It will be difficult to avoid human interference as the natural habitats are scattered among human settlements. Each individual plot will also get less area due to which it will be difficult for all the species to accommodate comfortably. Many animals can venture out in search of food which can be dangerous to both animals and humans. It is better to have a big separate land at one corner so that everyone can survive peacefully.

Match the dna bases with what It is paired within dna
valina [46]

Answer:

Adenine - Thymine

Guanine - Cytosine

Thymine - Adenine

Cytosine - Guanine

Explanation:

A goes to T, and vice versa. C goes to G, and vice versa. No matter how many times you flip a strand of DNA, A will always go with T and C will always go to G.

If it helps you, C and G are both curved letters and look very similar to each other. That's how I remembered that they went together. :)

Can anybody answer this
NARA [144]

Answer:

Options A, B, E, and F are correct

Explanation:

A). In the cell cycle, DNA replication is a process by which a duplicate DNA strand is produced with the help of replication machinery (enzymes, nucleotides, etc.). The overall process ensures that the newly developed strand is free of any mutations (errors) causing the production of wrong proteins at later stages. Although, there are chances of positive, negative or neutral mutations, the replication machinery aims to avoid any such errors at this stage.

B). DNA stores genetic information in the form of codes (known as codon) which needs to be translated in the form of proteins. This process is known as a transcription by which messenger RNA (mRNA) is produced in the nucleolus. Thereon, it is transported outside to encode proteins with the help of ribosomes. The process of copying genetic information on DNA in the form of mRNA is known is transcription.

E). The figure shown is also known as the central dogma of life. According to which, DNA (genetic information) is transcribed into RNA, which is then translated to proteins. In brief, RNA molecules brings the information from nucleous to ribosomes and make proteins. These proteins are often enzymes, hormones, and other biomolecules that perform the important functions in living organisms.

F). DNA and RNA are two types of nucleic acids responsible for all types of life on Earth. Since both of them are well recognized as nucleotides, they are made up of the same genetic building blocks known as nucleotides. Further, each nucleotide is comprised of a five-carbon sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogen base. The sequence of these nucleotides is responsible for the production of specific types of proteins.
