<span>The answer is Leukoplakia. When you have this condition, there is a thickened, white patches that form on your gums, the interiors of your cheeks, the bottom of your mouth and, occasionally, your tongue. These patches can't be scratched off. Specialists don't know what the source of leukoplakia is but consider chronic irritation from tobacco — whether dipped, smoked, or chewed — to be the main reason in its development. Most leukoplakia patches are noncancerous meaning that they are benign, though some show initial signs of cancer. Cancers on the bottom of the mouth can happen next to areas of leukoplakia. And white areas varied in with red areas (speckled leukoplakia) may specify the potential for cancer. </span>

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

These strands are clones, however, due to their low genetic variability, the population becomes susceptible to diseases taking place in plants. Pando comprises grove of about 47000 trunks, these all are genetically similar that develops from a solitary underground species, Quaking aspen tree. Pando is an extremely large clone.  

However, for the past some years, scientists are worried about Pando's health. For the past thousands of years, Pando was living in fine tune with the native wildlife population, but for the past some years, a shift in balance is noticed. As in the absence of the development of novel stems, nothing will be able to substitute the natural withering of the older ones, if this goes on, the death of Pando will take place.

Which of the following relationships is an example of a mutualism
puteri [66]
Mutualism- in which two different organisms interact, and each organism benefits each other (think "positive, positive"; or " +,+ "). An example would be Oxpeckers and zebras or rhinos - In this relationship, the oxpecker (a bird) lives on the zebra or rhino, sustaining itself by eating all of the bugs and parasites on the animal. The bird benefits by having a readily available source of food. The zebra or rhino benefits from having the bugs removed. Also, when there is a danger to the zebra or the rhino, the oxpecker flies high and makes much noise in order to alert nearby animals to the impending danger (i.e. a predator).

DNA replication of chromosomal DNA in a cell requires all of the following, EXCEPT A) DNA polymerase B) primase C) helicase D) R
Viktor [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is D)RNA polymerase

Explanation:

In DNA replication many enzymes and proteins are required to replicate a DNA template. For initiation of DNA synthesis the two DNA strands must be separated which is done by helicase.

Then primase adds short nucleotide sequence and initiate DNA replication. After that DNA polymerase acts and adds nucleotide at the 3' end of growing  DNA strand. Ligase is the enzyme that joins the two Okazaki fragments that are created in the lagging strand.

RNA polymerase is not required in DNA replication and it works in transcription therefore the correct answer is RNA polymerase.
