Answer: B) It reduces the need for artificial fertilizers.  

Composting is the process of conversion of organic materials like plant material, food waste, and manure into humus. The humus increases the soil fertility by providing organic matter necessary for plant growth. It reduces the need for artificial fertilizers which can contaminate the groundwater. Hence, compositing protect our ground water supply.

<h3>What is extinction of species?</h3>

Extinction of species refers to the event in which species of organisms are entirely wiped from existence either by man-made causes, natural disasters or disease.

The recent industrial age and many technological advancements by man has resulted in rapid extinction of species .

Which of the following statements is/are true of long noncoding RNAs? Choose one or more: a. They can trigger the activity of hi
Alinara [238K]

Answer: Options A, B, C and D are correct.

Explanation: They can trigger the activity of histone acetyltransferases.

These RNAs functions by binding to histone-modifying complexes, to DNA binding proteins (including transcription factors), and even to RNA polymerase II.

They can silence genes by promoting the formation of euchromatin by arranging hetero- or euchromatic regions into close proximity may stabilize these domains or it may control the spreading of post-translational modifications (PTMs) to nearest chromatin.

They are actively involved in X chromosome inactivation.

They can regulate the translation and stability of mRNAs.

In Eukaryotic cells RNA transcription is a closely regulated process. Transcription of a lncRNA may regulate the transcription of nearby mRNA genes, either positively (maintaining active chromatin structure) or negatively (for example, colliding polymerases). In these cases, the RNA product may have no importance at all, or it could have an additional function.

The muscles of the stomach aid in _____ digestion
tatuchka [14]
As food reaches the end of the esophagus, it enters the stomach through a muscular valve called the lower esophageal sphincter. The stomach secretes acid and enzymes that digest food. Ridges of muscle tissue called rugae line the stomach. The stomach muscles contract periodically, churning food to enhance digestion.Mar 4, 2016
