<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

<u>Latitude</u>

The principal characteristic that differentiates temperate and tropical rain-forests is <u>latitude.</u>

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • There are two types of rain-forests, namely, the tropical rain-forests and the temperate rain-forests. These two types share some similarities such as being rich in plant and animals species with a greater diversity in tropical rain forest.
  • However they differ in a number of ways; tropical rain-forests are warm and moist; while temperate rain-forests are cool.
  • <u><em>Tropical rain-forest, forested areas must: Lie between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn, receive rainfall regularly throughout the year, remain frost and free through out the year with little fluctuations.</em></u>

Each of the proteins involved in DNA replication plays an important role. If one of these proteins was not functional it would h
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. Topoisomerase is an enzyme helps in over winding Or underwinding of DNA during replication. Helps in the topological correction. So non-functional topoisomerase leads to tangled DNA and prevents replication..

2. Primases are the enzymes helps in the synthesis of short RNA sequences used as primers in replication. Non functional primase leads to no primer synthesis.  

3. DNA Polymerase is an enzyme helps in the addition of new nucleotide to the growing strand in replication. Non functional DNA polymerase prevents the strand growing as no new nucleotides were added.  

4. Helicases are the enzymes helps in the separation of double strands into single and helps in each strand to be copied. Non functional helicase leads to prevention of unwinding of strands and replication inhibition.  

5. ligase is an enzyme that joins nicks(small gaps) in the DNA strand by creating ester bond. Non functional ligase leads to unjointed gaps of lagging strand.  

6. Single strand binding proteins(SSB's) are the small proteins that binds to the single strands of DNA and holds them in a place not to get together while replicating. Non functional SSB's leads to parental strands come back together and prevents replication.

The success of plants extending their range northward following glacial retreat is best determined by _____.
alexgriva [62]

The complete question is :

The success of plants extending their range northward following glacial retreat is best determined by _____.

A) whether there is simultaneous migration of herbivores

B) their tolerance to shade

C) their seed dispersal rate

D) their size

Answer: The seed dispersal rate

Explanation:

The  seed dispersal can be defined as the movement of the seeds away from the parent plant. The ability of the plant to extend is completely dependent on the ability of the plant to disperse its seeds.

Plants have very limited ability, they need vectors to carry its seed from one place to another.

The biotic and abiotic vector both are involved in carrying the seeds which helps in expansion of the trees.

hence, the correct answer is option C
