Answer:

- These are water bodies formed from melting glaciers

- However, their size can vary from a few square meters to thousands of square kilometers

- They can be seasonal, existing for a few months or exist for hundreds of years or more

Explanation:

The lakes and the ponds are freshwater bodies of water. They can be formed in numerous different ways, from melting of glaciers, rivers flowing into closed valleys, changes in the geography of a space, increased amounts of precipitation. They can vary in size, and there are ponds and lakes that are very small, just few square meters, or to be thousands of square kilometers in size. Some of the lakes and ponds tend to be seasonal, unlike the majority that are existing throughout the whole year, and the reasons for this are the climate and the manner in which they form. Some lakes can be very old, millions of years of age, like the Ohrid Lake in Macedonia, which is also the most important lake in the world from biogeographical stance of point, and it is considered as one of the most attractive ones in the world as well.

a) Material life

h) Financial safety and security.

Explanation:

The quality of life is an index that is calculated by using different estimators that covers diverse aspects of human life such as, among others health, safety, happiness, security, transportation, etc. The INEGI (National Institute of Statistics and Geography, Mexico) calculates the quality of life by using the estimators above described (and others). In my opinion, the most important one of this list is political governance, because it is an underlying characteristic that has a direct effect on the further estimators, thereby affecting their performance in a short/medium-term period.

Copying genetic information from dna into rna is called __________; using the information contained in mrna to make a polypeptid

Ket [755]

Genetic information from DNA to RNA is called transcription which involves the enzyme RNA polymerase. The DNA is read from 3' to 5' in direction and produces an mRNA (messenger RNA) which contains the genetic data from the DNA. This mRNA strand is further processed in the nucleus (capping and adding a poly-A tail) before being transported to the cytoplasm.

The information contained in mRNA is used to make a polypeptide chain is called translation. This involves the use of ribosomes in the cytoplasm which attach themselves to the mRNA strand then using tRNA (transfer RNA) to add amino acids to the elongating polypeptide depending on the codon in the mRNA.

AleksAgata [21]

Answer and Explanation:

Nondisjunction occurs when homologous chromosomes fail to segregate during anaphase I or sister chromatids fail to segregate during anaphase II. The result is an addition or loss of one or more chromosomes. Nondisjunction is associated with disorders like Down's syndrome due to an extra chromosome, Klinefelter's syndrome or Turner's syndrome. These phenomenon where one has three members of homologous chromosome is called trisomy.
