Answer:

99%

Explanation:

So, about 99% of all organisms that have ever existed on this planet are extinct today. While that number may sound startling, the reason is that, well, life on Earth has existed for about three and a half billion years, so things are going to change over time. A way to remember how humans have influenced biodiversity laws which can actually lead over time to extinction, the complete removal of the species on the planet, is this mnemonic device, HIPPOC. This stands for habitat alteration, invasive species, pollution, population growth meaning human population growth, overexploitation, and climate change.

What happens to the water in a poolon a hot,sunny day ?

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

I'm assuming you meant pool instead of poolon, i'll take it as a grammatical error. Anyhow, the water in a pool on sunny days tend to have less chlorination then on regular days. This is because chlorine forms hypochlorite ions in the water, and these are broken down by the ultraviolet light from the sun. Rainy or shiny, the weather is always affecting the chemistry in your pool.

Now, if you want to get more complicated into it, you can add a stabilizer into the pool. The common one safely used in pools is cyanuric acid. This almost completley prevents all de-chloronification.

I hope this information was of any use to you.

The process of DNA replication

Molodets [167]

Answer: Replication occurs in three major steps: the opening of the double helix and separation of the DNA strands, the priming of the template strand, and the assembly of the new DNA segment. During separation, the two strands of the DNA double helix uncoil at a specific location called the origin. Several enzymes and proteins then work together to prepare, or prime, the strands for duplication. Finally, a special enzyme called DNA polymerase organizes the assembly of the new DNA strands. The following description of this three-stage process applies generally to all cells, but specific variations within the process may occur depending on organism and cell type.

Where do kiwi's come from?

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

The original fruit is from the Far East, having been grown in what is now modern-day China for many centuries. It was only at the turn of the 20th Century, in 1904, that it arrived on New Zealand shores, when New Zealand school principal Isabel Fraser brought some kiwifruit seeds back from her travels.
