Biology
1 answer:
Semenov [28]2 years ago
6 0

Tundra biomes are either found at high latitudes or high elevations in mountains. These are both very cold environments that are dominated most of the year by snow and icy conditions. This in itself tends to stunt plant growth.

These regions, especially, tundra in the high latitudes also have very short growing seasons (3 months perhaps) and so plants can only photosynthesize and store sugars for this amount of time. High winds in these environments also tend to keep plants low to the ground.

Which statement is an example of cell division at work?
dybincka [34]

Explanation:

C. A cut in skin heals

This process involves wound healing and tissue regeneration of somatic cells via mitosis.

Further Explanation:

All the genetic information within the eukaryotic cell is stored within the nucleus as helical DNA. This DNA is tightly wound around histones as chromosomes. To produce daughter cells during cell division, the chromosomes (total number of chromosomes (2n)) are copied before the cell splits into two daughter cells.

This process is known as mitosis, and occurs in cell division and growth processes. Two new nuclei are formed, along with identical cells. These are the same as the parent cell and the chromosome number (2n) is maintained. This process occurs regularly in somatic cells for growth, or  to repair damaged tissue.

Which type of RNA functions as a carrier of the genetic code?
gayaneshka [121]

All forms of RNA are intermediate molecules that are fabricated within DNA to perform cellular functions.

mRNA - messenger RNA carries selected portions of DNA used to fabricate polypeptides used to fabricate amino acids for protein.

tRNA - transfer RNA is comprised of select genetic code and transfers amino acids to ribosomes for assembly

rRNA - ribosomal RNA is comprised of select genetic code and makes the ribosomes

RNA is highly mutatable, highly reactive, non-reproductive, and highly specialized metabolically, and consequently totally unsuitable for consideration of any pre-DNA senario being posited for the origin of life.

In this case, kim's mother's burn formed blisters. These blisters are often closed and fluid filled. Recall that a first-degree
laila [671]

The blisters occur in the second degree burn. The first degree burn only cause the damage to the outer layer of the skin. The blisters are a result of the accumulation of the fluid between the epidermis (outer layer of the skin) and the layers below it. So, for blisters to occur, at least damage to two layers of skin is necessary.

In first degree burn, due to the damage to epidermis only, the redness occur and the blisters does not occur.
