Out of the following give choices;

a. All DNA strands contained only the heavy nitrogen isotope.

b. Half of the DNA strands contained only the light nitrogen isotope.

c. All DNA strands contained both heavy and light nitrogen isotopes.

d. All DNA strands contained only the lighter nitrogen isotope.

The answer is b. Meselson–Stahl experiment demonstrated the semi-conservative model of DNA replication. When DNA is replicated, one strand of the new double helix strand is the parent's strand while the other is the newly synthesized one. This made the semiconservative model stand out over the other two, dispersive and conservative models.

Do stomata close when there is a lack of water in soil or a lack of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Arte-miy333 [17]

<em>When water is abundant:</em>

-Temporal regulation of stomata is used:

Open during the day

Closed at night

- At night, there is no photosynthesis, so no demand for CO2 inside the leaf.

- Sunny day = demand for CO2 in leaf is high = stomata wide open.

- As there is plenty of water, plant trades water loss for photosynthesis products.

-  If the leaf's CO2 concentration is low, the stomata will stay open to continue fueling photosynthesis.

- High temperatures will also signal stomata to close.

- When limited water is available in the soil, plants try to prevent water loss.

The Hawaiian Islands are home to many endangered species. Why do you think the Hawaii Department of Agriculture is so strict abo
zysi [14]
Because these non native species can cause competition for the same food source as the native species thus making it harder for the native species to survive. Also the non native species could see the native species as food causing them to die out. As well as introducing new diseases that these native species don’t know how to defend themselves from

Which of these indicates equilibrium in the community? A. seral B. pioneer C. ultimate D. intermediate E. climax
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

E. climax

Explanation:

Even though it is not something that is very common in nature, there are still certain exceptions where certain communities manage to reach a point of equilibrium.  This basically is a community of small number of dominant prominent species that create a stable ecosystem. This state of equilibrium is known as climax community. This type of community appears when the web of biotic interactions between the organisms becomes so intricate that there is no possibility of other species to be admitted in it.
