matrenka [14]3 years ago

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Ice is the solid form of water, and its density is less than the density of water. This is the reason why ice floats on water.

Density of water is more and ice is less so ice floats on water. This property of  ice helps the plants and animals living in the colder regions.

This is the reason why the water beneath ice has optimum temperature and plants and animals live inside it without being freezed.

olga55 [171]

Answer:

DNA ligase

Explanation:

<em>The biochemist must have left out DNA ligase enzyme.</em>

<u>The DNA ligase enzyme is able to catalyze the formation of phosphodiester bonds and as such, capable of joining strands of DNA together to form a single strand.</u>

The numerous DNA segments of a few nucleotides long observed by the biochemist must have been the replicated product of the lagging DNA strand. The lagging strand is replicated discontinuously in short strands because the DNA polymerase enzyme can only elongate primers in 5' to 3' direction. The short segments are known as Okazaki segments and are usually joined together to form a whole strand by the DNA ligase enzyme.

Hence, the missing component is the DNA ligase.

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

The fungicide destroys mycorrhizal symbionts.

Explanation:

Mycorrhizal symbionts is the symbiotic association that is present between plants and fungi. Plants provide food materials in the form of sugar to the fungi while fungi fixes phosphorus for the plant that is present in the soil in unavailable form. When fungicide is sprayed, it kills the fungi present in the soil and deficiency of phosphorus occurs in plants.
