Answer:

This means that there would be an ecological surplus, the allotted footprint of 1.9 hectares per person has been exceeded.

Explanation:

Ecological footprint measures our use and demand of nature and how much nature we have. It measures how much quantity of nature can be used to support people or an economy and it tracks this demand through an ecological accounting system.

Ecological surplus or deficit measures what is left over or how little a country's biocapacity is available. It is calculated by subtracting the country's ecological footprint per person from the country's biocapacity per person. They are both measured in global hectares (gha)

Nady [450]

Answer:

<em>The correct options are:</em>

<em>Prior to process 1, DNA should copy itself to allow the cell to divide.</em>

<em>Between processes 1 and 2, the mRNA must be modified before leaving the  nucleus.</em>

Explanation:

For eukaryotes, the mRNA is made in the nucleus from the DNA. This process in known as transcription. The process of making proteins from the mRNA takes place in the ribososmes of the cytoplasm. This process is known as translation. The mRNA has to be modified before it is transported for translation. Otherwise, the mRNA will be degraded by the enzymes of the nucleus.
