Mountain slopes have faster erosion because it is easier for fast moving bodies of water to carry down eroded material downhill, rather than across flat land.
Stanley Miller's experiments showed a pre-cellular life could have begun with the formation of lipids, but it should be noted that this is not necessarily true.
Answer:
The functional groups that define the two different ends of a single strand of nucleic acids are:
B. a free hydroxyl group on the 5' carbon a free hydroxyl group on the 3' carbon
G. a free phosphate group on the 5' carbon
Explanation:
A nucleic acid is a polymer formed of nucleotides that are linked with a phosphodiester bond. The structure of a nucleotide consists on a phosphate group linked to a pentose (ribose in RNA and deoxyribose in DNA) that is also attached to a nitrogenous base. The nitrogenous bases are adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine (in DNA) and uracil (in RNA).
DNA and RNA are nucleic acids which can be found in a double or single strand presentation.
Nucleic acids are synthesize in the 5’ to 3’ direction, so that is why the convention is that the sequences are written and read in that direction.
The strand of a nucleic acid is directional with an end-to-end orientation, where the 5’ end has a free hydroxyl or phosphate group on the 5' carbon of the terminal pentose, and the 3’ end has a free hydroxyl group on the 3’ carbon on the terminal pentose (ribose/ deoxyribose).
Answer:Like many species of the coastal sage scrub, California sagebrush has adapted to summer drought by becoming dormant or semi-dormant during dry months. Winter-spring leaves are feathery and thin and support high rates of photosynthesis; consequently they also have high rates of water loss.
Explanation:
Lady Bug A is a higher percentage because they are CAMOUFLAGED from predators. They SURVIVE and are able to reproduce. This TRAIT is passed on to the offsprings. This process is called NATURAL SELECTION
