Answer:

Yes, your answer, nitrogen, is correct (the most appropriate option). However, oxygen is also a correct option.

Explanation:

Nitrogen exists on its own as a diatomic gas. However, it exists as organic nitrogen in nucleic acids such as DNA and RNA (as part of their nitrogenous bases) and in the amino (--NH_{2}) group of amino acids.

Do note that a case can also be made for oxygen as a right option: like nitrogen, it exists as a diatomic gas and can be found in both nucleic acids and in the carboxylic group of amino acids.

Sulfur is not an appropriate option as nitrogenous bases (and nucleic acids) to the best of my knowledge do not contain sulphur although some amino acids like cysteine do.

Carbon is not also an appropriate option because elemental carbon does not exist in gaseous form even though it can be found in both nucleic acids and amino acids.

Ann [662]

Answer: C. Radical global climate change.

Explanation:

The entire taxa of the species can be wiped out due to an large catastrophic event associated with the change in the climate. As the climate becomes warm the chances of undergoing the global precipitation rate will change. The climate being an important abiotic factor under unstability is likely to affect the amount of rainfall, snow fall, drought and conditions of desertification. All these factors can be responsible for the removal of the entire taxa of the species in short time.

Answer:

The angle and location

Explanation:

There are some who can't perceive the order of red and green together. Having it angled up and down is safer because you know out of common sense that red is on top and green is on the bottom. Having it sideways makes the light elevated on the same level, deceiving the eye better.
