Answer:
composition of meteorites
Explanation:
The continental drift theory has been based upon several evidence. The shape and perfect fit of South America and Africa is one of those evidence. The fossil records are another very strong evidence, as there are fossils of the same species on different continents that are not connected to each other in the present, and in nature is practically impossible to have the same species in different continents. The evidence about the climate also suggests that the continents have been moving, as there are remains of glaciers at places that nowadays are deserts and savannas. The meteorites are not one of the evidence though, and their composition doesn't have anything to offer in this tehory, as their composition is not related to the Earth and the processes on it.
<span>Each type of organic molecule has its own specific type of functional group. Functional groups in biological molecules play an important role in the formation of molecules like DNA, proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids. Functional groups include: hydroxyl, methyl, carbonyl, carboxyl, amino, phosphate, and sulfhydryl.</span>
Answer:
While Americans constitute the 5% of the world population, they use around the 24% of the world's energy.
Then, if the 100% of the population were like the Americans, we have:
5%*x = 100%
x = 100%/5% = 20
the whole population is 20 times the population of the US, then the total energy used is 20 times the energy used in the US.
Then the energy that the 100% of the population would use is equal to:
20*24% = 480%
Sowe actually would need like 5 Earths.
So none of the options is matches this, but this may be because this question is about some specific resources and not for the specific energy used. The closest option is 200%
The most important idea is that the genetic material of any organism must be able to accurately replicate itself at least every generation (or for multicellular organisms at each cell division).
Base pairing (A-T or U and C-G)allows DNA and RNA (eg in polio virus, see Wikipedia page on RNA dependent RNA polymerase) to create a copy of themselves, when the appropriate enzymes are present. Proteins have no way of making a copy of themselves.
Stability is probably the main reason DNA is the most common genetic material. DNA has no enzymatic activity and was probably selected for to maintain the integrity of the genetic material (rather than having to perform a function for the cell/virus, during which it may be destroyed). The double helix structure also protects its integrity, and proofreading enzymes have also evolved which correct most of the mistakes made at DNA replication. RNA viruses don't have this mechanism- which could be said to be an advantage (as they can rapidly change and therefore avoid their hosts' immune systems), however in non-parasitic organisms most mutations in a gene would lead to a loss of an essential function and the extinction of that genome.
I don't think either of these reasons are relevant, but I think the main reasons retroviruses convert their RNA to DNA are so they can use the host cell's replication machinery (this was they do not need to encode as many genes), and secondly they need avoid the antiviral mechanisms of the cell, which would destroy any double stranded RNA molecules found (even if the virus was single stranded, dsRNA would have to be produced at replication).
