Answer:

True

Explanation:

<em>Aristotle initially thought that life arose spontaneously and he backed this up by showing that a lump of meat left uncovered in a glass jar spontaneously produced maggots.</em>

The spontaneous generation theory was later disproved by another scientist, Francesco Redi. He showed that a covered jar containing a lump of meat will not spontaneously produce maggots unless flies are allowed to perch and lay their eggs on the meat. The eggs of the flies give rise to the maggots and not the meat.

<u>It thus showed that new life does not arise spontaneously but rather through development and reproduction.</u>

Scientists build models based on what they know from previous research to derive testable hypotheses. Independently, both Watson
Trava [24]

Answer:

Nitrogenous bases contain the genetic information, their amount is variable among different species, and the arrangement of these bases is also variable among different species

Explanation:

Both Watson-Crick and Pauling's DNA models considered that DNA nitrogenous bases (i.e., Adenine, Cytosine, Thymine and Guanine) contain the genetic information that determines the characteristics of living organisms. Moreover, both DNA models also considered that nitrogenous base composition varies between species, as well as the arrangement of these bases in the DNA chain also varies between species. Based on these features, Linus Pauling considered that a model where nitrogenous bases would be arranged on the outside of the DNA molecule would be easier for the DNA molecule to be replicated, transcribed, or repaired. Although incorrect, Pauling's DNA triple helix model was fundamental to develop the helical (double-stranded) structure of DNA, which was finally discovered by Watson and Crick in 1953.

Which of these is a way to increase the availability of freshwater
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

Options -

A-avoid water pollution.

B-build thermal power plants.

C-add water features to gardens.

D-avoid drip irrigation systems

Solution -

The largest source of freshwater on planet earth is underground water. The water beneath the surface of earth is very limited. The total fresh water reserve on earth is 3% of the total water on earth. Pollution due to discharge of waste water into the rivers and oceans has caused the degradation of not only surface water but also ground water.  

Thus, option A is correct

Drip irrigation is a means to prevent wastage of water during irrigation. Thus, avoiding it will cause further loss of fresh water.  

Addition of water feature will increase usage of water, thus it is also incorrect

Building thermal plant will also cause water pollution and wastage. Hence, option  B is also incorrect
