Stratosphere

The ozone layer protects life on earth by absorbing harmful ultraviolet radiation. The ozone layer is located between seventeen kilometers and thirty-five kilometers above the earth's surface in the stratosphere (2). The ozone layer is also known as the earth's shield. This layer contains high concentrations of ozone. It is interesting to note that Ozone is made up of three oxygen molecules; water consists of one hydrogen molecule and two oxygen molecules. It absorbs about ninety-seven percent of the sun's ultraviolet rays.

Answer:

At the equator

Explanation:

The thickness and depth of the atmosphere on earth varies from one geographic location  to the other. This thickness not only vary with location but also with time of year.

Equator is warmer than any other part of the world and hence the air mass over the equator is, on average, warmer there than anywhere else on Earth.  Cold air is denser than warm air . However the gravitational force is exerted in equal amount across the world , therefore , the same amount of air molecules over the equator go upward while  the air molecules in the coldest regions on Earth i.e the poles hovers near the surface of earth . Thus, the atmosphere is thickest and deepest at the equator.

John wants to show the evolutionary relationship between a lion and a cat and group them based on their similarities and a commo
kakasveta [241]
<span>John can use Cladistic Analysis as an approach to trace the classifications of the lion and cat because he can trace a common ancestor for them due to the cat and the lion having the same characteristics and traits. They are considered to be closely related because they share a common ancestor which means that they are closely connected. The earliest discovery of using this method was by Peter Chalmers Mitchell in 1901 as he was studying how different types of birds belong to the same ancestry.</span>

A retrovirus hijacks a cell's machinery to turn its rna into dna, which is then inserted into the cell's genome so viral protein
Doss [256]
No this virus does not follow the Central Dogma of Biology. The Central Dogma refers to the process involved in cellular replication starting from the replication of DNA, followed by transcription of DNA to RNA, and finally translation of RNA to proteins.

Viruses are special because they hijack cells and use the cell's own mechanisms in order for it replicate. Retroviruses are even more special because they go against the unidirectional flow of the Central Dogma. This is done with the use of their <em>reverse transcriptase.</em>
