Answer:

D) as we travel southward from the North Pole.

Explanation:

Species richness is the number of different species in a particular community. If we found 30 species in one community, and 300 species in another, the second community would have much higher species richness than the first.

Communities with the highest species richness tend to be found in areas near the equator, which have lots of solar energy (supporting high primary productivity), warm temperatures, large amounts of rainfall, and little seasonal change. Communities with the lowest species richness lie near the poles, which get less solar energy and are colder, drier, and less amenable to life. This pattern is illustrated below for mammalian species richness (species richness calculated only for mammal species, not for all species). Many other factors in addition to latitude can also affect a community's species-richness.

Species richness increases:

Select one:

a. as we increase in altitude in equatorial mountains.

b. as community size decreases.

c. on islands as distance from the mainland increases.

d. as we travel southward from the North Pole.

e. as depth increases in aquatic communities.

Answer:

The correct answer is D)

Species richness increases as we travel southward from the North Pole.

Explanation:

Studies have shown that plant diversity for instance decrease in richness (and total plant cover) with elevation is due to the environmental severity which

increases with elevation because of coldness, short growing seasons, excessive radiation, and other factors.

Cheers!

Compare CRISPR and miRNA
Zinaida [17]
The miRNA functions as a guide by base-pairing with target mRNA to negatively regulate its expression.
Whereas, CRISPR technology is a simple yet powerful tool for editing genomes. It allows researchers to easily alter DNA sequences and modify gene function. Its many potential applications include correcting genetic defects, treating and preventing the spread of diseases and improving crops.

Which of the following is a reason why sticky end producing restriction enzymes are preferred compared to blunt end ones?
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

D) Because sticky ends can be temporarily held together by hydrogen bonding between the two strands.

Explanation:

Restriction enzymes cut the DNA at specific restriction sites and by the mechanism of action they can form two types of ends:

  • sticky ends-single-stranded overhangs are formed
  • blunt ends-without overhangs.

The main advantage of sticky ends (their overhangs) is that they can complementary bind to another overhand formed by the same restriction enzyme. So, for example in cloning, if the DNA of interest and plasmid vector are cut with the same restriction enzyme, that  forms sticky ends, fragment of DNA will fit into a bacterial plasmid in one direction.

On the other hand, blunt ends can be inserted into vector in both directions: head-to-tail or tail-to-head.
