Answer :Erwin Chargaff   a Biochemist

Explanation:

He formulated the base paring of double helix of DNA. He reasoned that since the percentage of four  DNA  bases are of this proportions in human;

                                  Adenine=30.9% and Thymine =29.4%;

                                  Guanine=19.9% and Cytosine =19.8%

Then,  the amount of adenine will always be equal to thymine,

And the amount of Guanine equals to cytosine based on this percentages of distribution.  

(Adenine and Guanine are large, molecule of Purines, while thymine and Cytosine are Pyrimidine)  

 

He concluded (although scientist believed, he did not explicitly stated this) that this should be the base paring patterns in DNA molecule. This is the first Chargaff Rule.

His second rule is that the DNA composition, in the relative amount of the four bases Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine and Guanine varies in proportion from one organisms to another. And this is the basis of molecular diversity.

Oceanic crust is best described as _______.
Valentin [98]
<span>The oceanic crust is part of the crust that is made fully out of basaltic rock and is several times thinner than the continental crust which is made out of granitic rock. Oceanic crust underlies Earth's oceans and is produced at divergent plate boundaries which are commonly referred to as mid-ocean ridges. As it grows from infilling magma and spreads away from the ridges, it will becomes cooler, thicker, and more dense, and will eventually sink into the mantle.</span>

What are the methods used to conserve biodiversity
iVinArrow [24]

With the actions of the humans the biodiversity is facing a huge problem in most of the world, the habitats are destroyed, forests are cleared, animals are killed, water and air are polluted...

In order to conserve the biodiversity there are certain things that have to be put in action. The methods for conservation can be in-situ methods and ex-situ methods.

The in-situ methods are the preferred ones, as these methods are focused on conserving the environment as it is. This basically means that the ares that have larger biodiversity, and especially where there's species that are rare, should be made national parks, sanctuaries, monuments of nature, thus being protected by law.

The ex-situ methods are the ones that involve the conservation of the species outside of their natural habitat. That is done with gene banks, sperm and ova banks, seed banks, zoos and botanical gardens, collections of In vitro plant tissue and microbal culture, and captive breeding of animals and artificial propagation of plants.
