Answer:

Cohesion and adhesion of water molecules

Explanation:

Cohesion has to do with the ability of water to adhere together .

The cohesive properties of water which is occasioned by hydrogen bonding between adjacent water molecules allow the column of water to move up through the plant irrespective of the force of gravity as water molecules are evaporating at the leaf surface.

The adhesive properties of water, which means, the attraction between the water molecule and the xylem wall also ensure continuity in the movement of the water column in the xylem.

Hence the cohesive and adhesive properties of water molecules are important for transpiration to occur.

To ensure that a human gene is translated properly in a bacterial cell, you should clone the _____________ for the gene instead

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

complementary DNA (cDNA)

Explanation:

The complementary DNA (cDNA) is a region of DNA that is synthesized from an RNA template by using a reverse transcriptase enzyme. cDNA is usually used to clone genes from eukaryotic organisms in prokaryotes. cDNA cloning is a technique that consists of isolating and amplifying a self-replicating prokaryotic organism that includes in its genome a cDNA of interest. This technique enables the insertion of fragments of eukaryotic DNA (cDNA) into plasmids that subsequently are multiplied by cloning and finally sequenced.

Which cell structures are seen in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

WINSTONCH [101]

Prokaryotes and eukaryotes are the two different types of cells.
Eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound organelles, such as the nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria while prokaryotic cells do not but the ribosome is the only organelle that can be seen in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
Prokaryotic and eukaryotic ribosomes perform the same functions that is protein synthesis, however, eukaryotic ribosomes are much larger than prokaryotic ones.

Thus, the correct answer is option D

1. Less trash to landfill. More recycled items = savings to production costs of new items
such as aluminum, glass, cardboard. 

2. Most insects have particular predators such as a specific animal or bird that eats them as a major or sole portion of their diet. 

3. Do not plant 100% of the same plants and trees across the area. 
Do not harvest all of a species during a normal growth cycle. If a tree takes 50 years to grow to harvest size, schedule cuttings to avoid extinction of that tree within the area.
