A) DNA fulfils all three conditions:
<span>(1) copy itself precisely - in the process of replication, DNA copies itself and two molecules of DNA are formed. This process is very precise thanks to the great number of proteins involved in these process that prevents error occurring and proteins that can fix the error if it occurs.
(2) be stable but able to be changed - DNA is very stable molecule otherwise, it cannot be a genetic material. However, its chains can separate in a short length so the translational machinery can attach to it and the process of transcription can occur. Also, in crossing over, during meiosis, </span>the exchange of genetic material occurs and chromosomes change a bit.<span>
(3) be complex enough to determine the organism’s phenotype - it contains a number of genes responsible for different traits. All of this results in the </span>organism’s phenotype.
B) DNA copies itself. <span>Meselson and Stahl conducted the experiments on DNA replication in which they used </span>E. coli<span> bacteria as a model system. After they labelled all bacteria's DNA with heavy 15N by using medium with heavy 15N, they switched bacteria to medium with light 14N. After several generations, all bacteria's DNA was labelled with light 14N. This experiment evidenced that the self-replication of DNA is semi-conservative process.</span>
The answer is B, since the population has no genetic variation it will be classified as an artificial selection not a natural selection.
Number of mole s of H
2
= 0.25 moles
number of molecules = moles * Avogadro’s Number
number of molecules = 0.25×(6.022×10
23
)
number of molecules = 1.505×10
23
single molecule of hydrogen contains two H-atoms. So,
number of atoms = 2×(1.505×10
23
) = 3.01×10

Cells have unique characteristics wherein each develop a specific function determined by the activation of certain DNA sequences to generate this specific cell into its supposed design, this is why cell specialization exists.
Hence, these cells can be directly identified with their morphological structures and the DNA sequences they posses.
Considering that the roots are a form of biological weathering (so/thus) erosion (from/due to) changing weather also (disintegrates/breaks down)the rock.
