D) Contour plowing is used to reduce erosion and sediment pollution.

Explanation:

Contour plowing in farming helps to prevent pollution by reducing surface erosion of topsoil and preventing sediment pollution.

Contour plowing is a farming technique in which crops are planted along the slopes of hills or contoured areas.

  • The rate at which rain water and precipitation moves along slope terrain is very fast.
  • This causes the washing off of the the topsoil on hills to eroded very fast.
  • Contour plowing breaks the slope and farming is done along movement on the contour.
  • This prevents topsoil erosion.
  • It also prevents sediment pollution in nearby streams and water bodies that are located around the valley at the base of the hill.

If you wanted to sequence the genome of Ötzi, the 5,300-year-old "Iceman" mummy found in the Alps in 1991, which method would yo
Delvig [45]

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

a) DNA

b) AGCT

c) PCR

d) SNP

Answer:

PCR (polymerase chain reaction)

Explanation:

The polymerase chain reaction is the technique which replicates and produces multiple copies of the DNA molecule artificially in a short period of time.

The PCR technique employs a variety of enzymes and all the prerequisites which are required in the DNA replication in vivo conditions.

In the given question, if the genome of the mummy has to sequence then after the collection of samples from the bones, the DNA has to replicate through the process of PCR. The samples from the different bone structures can be compared and analysed and a complete genome sequence can be analysed.

Thus, PCR is correct.
