Answer: There are 4¹⁰⁰ possible strands, approximately 1.61x10⁶⁰
Explanation:
This is a combinatorics problem. Each nucleotide has the possibility of being one of the four common nucleotides, adenine (A), guanine (G), thymine (T) and cytosine (C).
If the strand would be 1 nucleotide long, the possibilities would be 4, one for each possible nucleotide. If the strand would be 2 nucleotides long, for each nucleotide on the first position there would be four possible nucleotides on the second position, giving 4x4=4²=16 possible strands.
For 3 nucleotides long you have 4 possible nucleotides for each of the 2-nucleotide-long strands, 4x4x4=4²=64 possible strands. Following that pattern, for a 100 nucleotide long DNA strand, there would be 4x4x...x4x4=4¹⁰⁰ possible strands.
The answer is option 1, 3, 5,7, and 10
The Monarch Butterflies contains chemicals in its body that make it taste bad to birds. The birds learn that if they eat these Butterflies that they will have a bad taste.
The distribution of biomes is greatly influenced by the climatic conditions. The areas receiving more rainfall are lush green with variety of diverse species growing in that region while deserts have less vegetation.
The distribution of biomes in the Northern hemisphere is similar but not identical to the distribution of biomes in the Southern hemisphere. The Northern hemisphere is characterized by long and cold winters while summers are short. The Southern hemisphere is not as colder as Northern hemisphere except Antarctica. More oceans are present in the Southern hemisphere while Northern hemisphere has larger portions of the land. Also, the mountains in the Northern hemisphere has mountains and land that act as obstruction for the wind. Whereas, the wind blows unobstructed in Southern hemisphere. These are the reasons for not having identical biomes in both the regions.
