The United Nations Conventions on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) declares that seabed area, which does not fall under the jurisdiction of a particular country, is a common natural heritage. The minerals of this area can be usd by anyone. Due to vast presence of sea area, and conflicting boundaries, as well as illegal mininig practices, the imposition of such laws is difficult. The very large sea areas which should not be mined, should be restrained under non mining region. But, mineral-greedy nations are not following such instructions.
The envrionmental implications of ilegal seabed mining includes, destabilisation of oceanic systems, effect on microbial systems of the sea, and danger to the creatures living in the hydrothermal vents, which are not used to light exposure.

user100 [1]

Ans.

Lac (lactose) operon in a type of bacterial operon, which shows a cluster of genes that are regulated by a single promoter. It is composed of an operator, promoter, a terminator, and three structural genes (lacA, lacY, and lacZ), which are responsible for the transport and breakdown of lactose.

The lac operon is an inducible operon as it gets activated in the presence of lactose and expressed its functional genes in the form of proteins (or enzymes) for lactose metabolism.  

Thus, the correct answer to be fill in first blank is 'inducible' and in second blank is 'lactose.'

If moisture content remains constant and temperature increases the relative humidity will do what?
Sedaia [141]
<span>Meteorologists measure or talk about humidity in a number of different ways. One of the key measurements they use is relative humidity because this determines how dry the air actually feels. Relative humidity is a function of both how much moisture the air contains and the temperature. If you raise the temperature while keeping moisture content constant, the relative humidity decreases.</span>

Select all that apply.

After the fossils are buried in the mud the soft tissues start to decompose rapidly. Leaving only the hard shells or bones of the animal. With time, sediment starts to build up on the top and then hardens into rock. The bones then start to decay, minerals start to enter and then end up replacing the organic material cell by cell in a process that is known as "petrification." So the answer you are looking for is B,  Mud can prevent oxygen from reaching the dead organism.
