What is the best source of nuclear DNA when working with hair samples?
tino4ka555 [31]
The answer is a hair root.

Nuclear DNA is commonly extracted from the hair root. The hair root consists of keratinocytes. Keratinocytes are cells found in the epidermis. As all other cells, they contain DNA material. When keratynocites die, they get converted into keratoid material in the process of cornification. As a consequence, d<span>ead cells do not contain DNA material. Therefore, the hair root is the best source of nuclear DNA than shed or cut hair when working with hair sample.</span>

What waste product does aerobic organisms release into the environment that plants use during photosynthesis
Arte-miy333 [17]
Answer: Carbon Dioxide (CO2)

Aerobic organisms (like us!) are organisms that need oxygen. That means they consume oxygen (O_{2})and release carbon dioxide (CO_{2}).

That carbon dioxide is the waste product that is taken up by plants during photosynthesis to create more oxygen and sugars (as "food" for the plants). This is seen in the equation for photosynthesis, where the things that are consumed by plants are on the left of the arrow, and the things produced are on the right:
<span>6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy ==> C6H12O6 + 6O2</span>

FrozenT [24]
All 3 farming techniques are methods of soil conservation. 

Contour plowing is used to stop water from flowing directly down slope to prevent gullying. 

Terracing is used to slow the amount of runoff, and prevents rapid soil erosion. 

Strip Cropping is when farmers plant plants in alternating bands to stop soil erosion.

Suppose you have monohybrid snapdragons in your garden and you find that they produce red seeds to white seeds in the ratio of 3
GenaCL600 [577]

The parents (P1) will be all red. The monohybrid snapdragons producing red and white seeds in the ratio of 3:1 with the red (R) phenotype being dominant and white(r) being recessive, might possibly have the  parents with the following genotypes:

Rr (Red)                  Rr (Red)

The gametes produced by these parents will be R and R. The cross of these parents (P1) will result in the following generation that will be in the ratio of 3:1 (red:white) :
