Answer:

The diameter of the sun is 285 times larger then the diameter of Mercury

Explanation:

Given Data

diameter of the sun = 1.39 x 10⁶ km

diameter of Mercury = 4.88 x 10³ km

how many times larger is the diameter of the sun (x) then Mercury = ?

Solution

First we remove the exponential form to make it simple

    diameter of the sun = 1.39 x 10⁶ km

    which is equal to 1390000

    diameter of Mercury = 4.88 x 10³ km

    which is equal to 4880

Now we divide the larger value bu the smaller one

    x = 1390000 ÷ 4880

    x = 285

The diameter of the sun is 285 times larger then the diameter of Mercury

Between 1896- 1906,he collaborated with many nucleic acids  and protein exoperts  e.g Albrecht Kossel and Emil Fischer to  wok on the structure of DNA.And headed the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research.

:the isolation of D-ribose sugar from ribonucleic acid molecule.(RNA)

mart [117]

Answer:

The chromatids contain the maternal DNA only.

Explanation:

They must contain half the original number of chromosomes. It must contain only one chromosome in place of each homologous pair of chromosomes, so it is endowed with either the maternal or the paternal copy of each gene but not both.

How can we protect keystone species?
Andreyy89

A keystone species refers to the organisms that define the entire ecosystem. These organisms are important because without them the ecosystem will work differently. They are known to be low in functional redundancy that means if these so-called keystone species disappear, there are no other species who can fill in their role. We can protect them by preserving and protecting their natural habitat, avoiding hunting activities especially the organisms that are considered to be critically endangered, planting trees, and proper waste disposal. These are some of the activities that we can do to protect them.
