Answer: False

Transuranic waste  refers to the radioactive waste. It includes all elements that have atomic number higher than that of uranium in the periodic table. These elements includes neptunium, plutonium and others. Transuranic waste is generated during the use of nuclear fuel, nuclear weapon production, and reprocessing of the already used nuclear fuel. It also, consists of equipment, protective clothing and tools used in the processing of radioactive material.

Therefore, on the basis of above information, the statement transuranic waste comes mostly from used clothing and medical wastes is false.

Historical path leading to the widespread adoption of sugar cultivation in americas:
kati45 [8]
The first historical record associates the beginning of sugar in the Americas with Christopher Columbus' initial and epic voyage of the discovery of the New World in 1492.

The sugar cane plant is native to Southeast Asia and in Europe had already created an appetite for more through the Eastern trade routes. These were of course difficult routes that included trade caravans over land and water to reach Asia from Europe.

With Columbus the initial planting of sugar cane occurred in the Dominican Republic. The Caribbean islands maintain a perfect tropical climate for the plant and as such, flourished. Other colonizers, like the British, Portuguese and French soon followed suit within their own colonies spread throughout the New World. 

The Portuguese had transplanted or moved some of the seedlings, or small plants from the Dominican into Brazil and other areas of their colonized lands. In fact, Brazil is the largest producer of sugar cane in the world today.

The desire for more sugar during this early settlement, led to a "triangle of trade". In order to satisfy the need for production of sugar, ships sailed to the western coasts of Africa to bring slaves to work the sugar plantations. After depositing the slaves, the ships would pick up sugar and rum, an alcohol created from sugar, and bring these goods back to the European powers. This completed the cycle for the ships, which would then return to Africa to gather more slaves.

By 1505, this trade route was set up and going strong. And for the next 300 years or so, would remain in effect.

Tell me one thing you know about replication.
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

DNA replication is the process by which a double-stranded DNA molecule is copied to produce two identical DNA molecules. Replication is an essential process because, whenever a cell divides, the two new daughter cells must contain the same genetic information, or DNA, as the parent cell.

Thats one thing ;)

Which is the correct description of flow of blood to the proper structures?
MAVERICK [17]
<span>Answer: Blood leaves the left ventricle through the aorta.

The blood that is pumped from the heart and goes through all of the body structures, that need to be irrigated, leaves from the left ventricle. This ventricle will contract and push the blood to go to the aorta. From there, goes to the rest of the body.
