3 0
The human genome has been estimated to have 20,000 - 25,000 human protein - coding genes. Before it was thought that the number of genes in the human genome was about 100,000, but with better and more advanced gene finding technology, this number has been revised down to the current estimate, and could continue to drop further. The human genome has 23 chromosome pairs with a total of about 3 billion DNA base pairs. There are 22 autosomal chromosomes plus the sex determining X and Y chromosomes, to make 23 pairs.

andriy [413]

The <em>correct</em> answer is:

Penicillium

Aspergillus

The lesson states:

If you've ever heard of or taken penicillin to fight off an infection, you can thank a member of the imperfect fungi called penicillium. Some mold species of penicillium are also important in the flavoring and aging of cheese. Roquefort and Camembert cheese owe their distinctive flavors to these fungi. Aspergillus is an imperfect fungus that is found on decaying food. It also contributes to the production of organic acids like citric acid. <u>Both penicillium and aspergillus produce enzymes that are purified and used in various industrial compounds and in medicine.</u>

HELP ASAP WILL MARK BRIANLIEST!!! What are the differences between global and local winds?
KatRina [158]

Answer: Good examples of local winds are sea breezes and land breezes, and mountain and valley breezes. Local winds cover very short distances. Global winds are really large air masses that are created mainly as a result of the earth's rotation, the shape of the earth and the sun's heating power.
