Answer:

C) Spent nuclear fuel is highly radioactive and can damage organisms and the environment.

Explanation:

Spent nuclear fuel rods are held in under water pools for decades to cool them off. The circulating water removes the heat away from the fuel rods. Also water acts as a good radioactive shield as fuel rods are still highly radioactive. Eventually after many years when fuel rods are inert thy can be moved to dry casks.

miskamm [114]

Answer:

Volcanic rock-lichen-mosses-sea grasses

Explanation:

Lichens are complex living beings that form a symbiosis of an organism formed by a fungus and an algae or cyanobacterium. They're known for interacting with volcanic rocks. Moss is a cosmopolitan phylum of small, simple-organized, and non-vascular cryptogamous plants that typically grow in dense tufts, which are more common in humid and dark habitats. They're the ones to come after the lichens during primary succession of volcanic island environments. Marine angiosperms, also known as, sea grasses, are the flower-producing plants adapted to life in seawater that form marine meadows on the euphotic bottoms of the oceans. They install themselves on the coasts that are populated by mosses, therefore not being uncommon to see in volcanic islands.

cDNA library.

Explanation:

Genomic library may be defined as the collection of all the genomic DNA of an individual. The genomic library is constructed by the digestion of digestion of DNA fragments and there further transfer in the vectors.

cDNA library is prepared in case of eukaryotes because the complementary DNA is produced from the RNA. The eukaryotes DNA is interrupted with exons. In case of spider, the cDNA linrary is prepared because its DNA is interrupted with exons.

Thus, the answer is cDNA library.
