Explain the difference between vegetation growth on the upwind side and the rain shadow side of a mountain

Biology
1 answer:
mixer [17]3 years ago

Answer:

Wind and moist air is drawn by the prevailing winds towards the top of the mountains, where it condenses and precipitates before it crosses the top. The air, without much moisture left, advances across the mountains creating a drier side called the "rain shadow".

The windward side of the mountain is the side of the mountain that the wind blows into. This side is where all the rain tends to be because of the air cools as it rises, making clouds. The opposite side is called the leeward side. This is where the air sinks, leaving the side much more warm and dry.

How is dna the basic of life?
Allushta [10]


DNA is considered the molecule of life because it contains the instructions that ensure the continuity of life. Employment of DNA to code for protein is the basis of all life on earth. 

In all living things, inherited DNA  is used to code for amino acids  which when joined or linked together in a deliberate specific  manner form polypeptides which make up proteins. These proteins are responsible for  structure and function of cells. 

For example DNA provides information to make  four polypeptide (two beta and two alpha ) chains  which make up hemoglobin, the protein that functions as the oxygen carrier in red blood cells. In summary,

DNA → protein →  trait, and that relationship is the physical basis of life.
