The topsoil is the upper and outermost layer of soil, usually the top 2 inches to 8 inches. It contains the highest concentration of organic matter and microorganisms. Topsoil is used as the medium for all plant growth, whether it is a lawn, garden or prairie.
Answer:
Hershey Chase and Griffith experiment supported the same conclusion which was: DNA is the molecular substance of genetic inheritance.
Explanation:
Both experiments have was based on different phenomenon and techniques to prove same conclusion.
Hershey and chase conducted an experiment via bacteriophage which consists to DNA and protein coat that infects bacterial cells. He proved the DNA as genetic material by the help of transduction mechanism (Incorporation of Bacteriophage DNA in to bacterial cells). He used two group of Bacteriophage 1st group of Phage contain radioactively labelled proteins by Sulphur 32 isotope. While 2nd group contain Bacteriophage having P32 labelled DNA to infect Bacterial cells. After the infection, the Reaction tubes subjected to centrifuge and presence of radioactivity was determined in pellet and supernatant. The 1st group show radioactivity in supernatant while 2nd group shows racdioactivity in pellet or bacterial cells.
Griffiths just hypothesized a substance that can be transmitted from dead organism to alive organisms with the help of transformation phenomenon (uptake of Genetic material from the surrounding or environment). He conducted his experiments on <em>Streptococcus pneumonia avirulent and virulent species. </em>By mixing dead virulent species and live avirulent species and injecting into the mice results in the death of an experimental animal. While alone dead virulent species and live avirulent species fail to cause disease in mice.
Answer:
An increase in the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere
Liquid; gas
Lacking oxygen
To decrease the temperature in the compost pile
Explanation:
1. Methane is one of the greenhouse gases. When these gases are released into the atmosphere, they increase the temperature of the earth surface because they trap heat within the earth. Other examples are carbon dioxide and water vapor.
2. Evaporation is a phase change from liquid to gas. During this process, heat is supplied to a liquid. When the molecules of the liquid gain enough energy, they then begin to break off into gaseous form. The reverse process of evaporation is condensation.
3. Anaerobic is a process that lacks oxygen. Aerobic processes are carried out with the availability of oxygen.
4. The reason why compost should be regularly mixed is to decrease the temperature in the compost pile. Portions of the compost can have a higher temperature than other parts. Therefore, mixing the compost will help to redistribute the heat in the compost.
Answer: operon
Explanation:
An operon is a cluster of genes that are transcribed together to give a single messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule, which therefore encodes multiple proteins (Fig. 16.11). Such polycistronic mRNA is typically found in prokaryotes.
