The alpine biome is one of the coldest biomes on the planet, it is generally because of the high altitudes. The summer temperature varies in between -12 to 10 degree Celsius, and the average precipitation in the biome is about 30 cm in a year.
The animals living in the region, adapt to the cold by migrating to warmer regions, hibernating, or insulating their bodies with the help of fat and fur layers. Their bodies seem to possess shorter tails, legs, and ears, in order to minimize the loss of heat.
One of the animals living in the alpine biome is the wild yak, the animal has adapted to the biome with the help of dense and wooly coats, specially amended feet, horns to dig for food, and if necessary does the migration in winter times to the warmer regions.
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
<em>A. continental-oceanic convergent</em>
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
- <em><u>A convergent boundary</u></em> is a type of boundary where two plates collide and push against one another.
- <em><u>A continental-oceanic convergent</u></em> is a type of convergent boundary that occurs as a result of <em><u>subduction.</u></em> <em><u>Subduction occurs where a continental plate collide thus resulting to the oceanic plate being pushed underneath the continental plate</u></em> into the mantle since the oceanic plates are much thinner.
- The result is that <em><u>the oceanic plates melts into hot magma which that burns its way up through the continental plate</u></em> forming a volcano and also causing earth quakes.
Answer:
D- changing the dna of a crop plant to make it more susceptible to pest insects.
Explanation:
Genetically modified organism are those organisms in which the technology of genetic engineering is used to change their genetic makeup. Due to this change in genetic makeup allow the organisms to resist against disease causing microorganisms, pesticides and also increased the productivity of crops. In animals, genes are change to increase milk or meat production.
Answer: Data are the information gained from observing and testing an experiment. Scientists use data to gain understanding and make conclusions. Scientists often use graphs or tables to show their data and research findings.
Explanation:
The cell needs to carry out transcription before it can begin translation because transcription is the first step of gene expression, whereby the segments of DNA is copied into RNA in other words mRNA by enzymes RNA polymerase.
Both RNA and DNA are nucleic acids and they use base pairs of nucleotides as complementary language. It is during transcription when DNA sequence is read by an RNA polymerase which produces antiparallel RNA, complementary strand called primary transcript.
Transcription unit is the stretch of DNA which is transcribed into an RNA molecule and it encodes a protein then the transcription produces messenger RNA or mRNA the mRNA serves as a template for synthesis of proteins through the process of translation.
The transcribed gene may encode for either ribosomal RNA or rRNA, non-coding RNA for example microRNA. RNA performs a fundamental role in functions within a cell whereby it helps to regulate, synthesize, and process proteins.<span>
