Answer: Option B and C.

Heavy and continuous rains flood the land, submerging habitats.

c. Lightning strikes a tree and begins a fire that clears the land.

Explanation:

Heavy and continuous rains flood the land, submerging habitats.

Lightning strikes a tree and begins a fire that clears the land.

The above are example of density independent abiotic factors because rainfall and lightning affect the population size of the environment by decreasing it's population sizes.

Abiotic factors are the non living part of the environment and they include rain fail, temperature,lightning, humidity e.t.c.

Density independent abiotic factors are factors that decrease or increase the population size of the ecosystem.

Therefore, Heavy and continuous rains flood the land, submerging habitats.

cLightning strikes a tree and begins a fire that clears the land are density independent factor because they decrease the population size.

<h2>CRISPR/Cas9</h2>

Explanation:

CRISPR can be used to reintroduce dystrophin back into the KO mouse

  • CRISPR stands for Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats and is used to for gene editing
  • CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome editing has been shown to permanently correct DMD mutations and restore dystrophin function in mouse models
  • Germline editing by injecting zygotes with CRISPR/Cas9 editing component was first done in mdx mice by correcting the mutated exon 23
  • Postnatal editing of mdx mice was then achieved using recombinant adeno-associated virus to deliver CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing components and correct the dystrophin gene by skipping or deleting the mutated exon 23 in vivo
  • Germline and postnatal CRISPR/Cas9 editing approaches both successfully restored dystrophin function in the mice and same technique can be used for KO mouse model

Determine whether a nail would be chiral or achiral.
weeeeeb [17]

A nail may be considered as an achiral object because it can be superimposed when it is faced in a mirror image where in it may look exactly the same rather than chiral when they are in a mirror image, it wouldn’t be superimposable.

Which process is responsible for the growth and repair of human tissue ?
muminat

In general, the process responsible for the growth and repair of human tissue is the healing process, which takes place in three phases.

1. inflammatory response. Injured tissues release  chemicals that draw resources to the area, alert the body that damage has occurred and inhibit function to prevent further injury.

2. Repair phase. Once injured area is walled off and debris removed, construction to  replace or repair injured tissue begins. New blood vessels grow in the injured area maximizing transport within tissue.

3. Remodeling phase. Construction of permanent tissue , typically strong scar tissue made from dense network of collagen fibers. 

Looking at it from cell level, the process of mitosis is actually taking place during  healing. 

Mitosis is used for growth and repair and produces diploid cells identical to each other and to the parent cell. 

New cells are needed throughout life. These are for growth and replacement of damaged or worn out tissue. The body obtains such through the process of mitosis.

What is the wavelength of a wave with a frequency of 0.4 kHz traveling at 16 m/s?
larisa86 [58]

Answer: 0.04metres

Explanation:

The wavelength of a wave is the distance covered by the wave after one complete cycle. It is measured in metres, and represented by the symbol λ

Recall that Velocity (V) = Frequency F x wavelength λ

V = F λ

Make λ the subject formula

λ = V / F

In this case Frequency = 0.4 kHz

Convert kilohertz to hertz by multiplying 0.4 by 1000 i.e (0.4 x 1000Hz) = 400Hz

Velocity of wave = 16 m/s

So, λ = V / F

λ = 16 m/s / 400Hz

λ = 0.04metres

Thus, the wavelength of a wave is 0.04metres
