Plants convert solar energy into chemical energy.
The plants take the sunlight and then convert it into things they can use such as glucose, and also put minerals back into the Earth and soil.
B. Influence adaption of populations over time
I believe the answer is c
Answer:
b. Antibodies are used for Northern blot analysis.
c. VNTRs are highly conserved in human populations.
Explanation:
The northern blot technique is used in molecular biology laboratories for detecting specific RNA molecules in a sample of RNA derived from a particular cell/tissue. Antibodies can be detected by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). In ELISA, antigens are used to detect specific antibodies: the addition of the antigen produces a positive reaction i.e., formation of the antigen-antibody binding complex. Subsequently, a second antibody with a particular marker is added to bind with the complex, thereby producing a change in the color and thus evidencing the presence of the target antibody in the sample. On the other hand, the variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) are short sequences (around 20 to 100 bp) whose number of repetitions varies at specific <em>loci</em> in the genome of many organisms, including humans. Since VNTR sequences exhibit variation in length between individuals of the same species/population, they are widely used as molecular markers to identify individuals, QTL (quantitative trait <em>loci</em>) mapping, establish phylogenetic relationships among individuals/cultivars/lines, etc.
Answer with Explanation:
"Biome" refers to the flora (plant life) and fauna (animal life) of a particular place. It also includes the climate and specific conditions that allow the living organisms in the environment to survive.
The biome of North Africa consists of both desert biome and rainforest biome. It can be classified into a "savannah biome." This means that both the grassland and the woodland co-exist with each other. On the contrary, the biome in Iceland consists of a "tundra biome." The appearance of this biome is uniform and it is considered the coldest among all the other biomes.
Both of the biomes in North Africa and Iceland are different owing to their temperature, precipitation, nutrients from the soil and so on. The savannah biome consists of both wet and dry climates. These seasons allow the growth of both trees and grasslands. When it comes to the tundra biome, its temperature is extremely low. Thus, it doesn't allow many plants or trees to grow. However, it allows the growth of some unique types of wildlife such as the "Arctic fox."
