Answer:

Asexual reproduction can be described as a process in which daughter cells are produced which are 100% identical to the parent cells. Unlike the process of sexual reproduction, no recombination occurs in asexual reproduction. Hence, no variability is produced when organisms reproduce by this method.

As there will be lack of variability in asexual reproduction, the whole of the particular species might become endangered or extinct due to a disease or due to other factors like pests.

Deer are eating the crops of local farms. Farm owners are asking wildlife managers to increase the bag limits for deer in the st

Mila [183]

With the deer population down because many are killed, insects and ticks will starve. With less bugs, the lizards and frogs will have less to eat which means their population would lower as well.As their population lowers the population of their consumers will lower too

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is formed by ________ and reabsorbed through arachnoid granulations into ________.

Ede4ka [16]

The correct terms to fill in the blanks are lateral ventricles and venous sinus blood. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is formed by lateral ventricles and reabsorbed through arachnoid granulations into the venous sinus blood. The CSF is a fluid that is clear and colorless found in the spinal cord and in the brain, generally the central nervous system. The CSF functions as a buffer or a shock absorber for the brain. It provides basic mechanical protection for the brain. Also, it helps in the circulation of nutrients and the chemicals that are filtered and aids in the elimination of waste products.

What holds the monomers of a single strand of nucleic acid together in a chain?

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

Nucleic acids are of two types DNA and RNA which are made up of monomeric units called nucleotides.

One monomer is one nucleotide which further consists of three parts:

1: Nitrogenous base

2: Sugar (a ribose sugar in RNA and a deoxyribose sugar in DNA)

3: Phosphate group

Explanation:

If we talk about single strand of nucleic acid DNA or RNA, there is a phosphodiester linkage that holds monomers together in a strand of nucleic acids. This phospho di ester linkage is formed when a condensation reaction occurs between a hydroxyl group of two sugars and a phosphate group.
