Answer:

Option (3)

Explanation:

The wetlands are defined as an ecosystem that is comprised of saturated land. These lands are covered with water seasonally or annually, supporting a variety of terrestrial as well as aquatic organisms.

These wetlands play an important role as it forms a recharge area where the surface water or the runoff water percolates deep into the subsurface region, thereby mixing up with the groundwater. This groundwater then flows into a region that provides this water for drinking purposes and also adds to the freshwater bodies such as lakes, rivers, and streams, forming springs in some places during the time of summer.

In the above-given situation, these wetlands act as a medium that supplies the groundwater to Florida.

Hence, the correct answer is option (3).

Answer:

This experiment proved that DNA replicated semiconservatively; half the original polynucleotide is conserved in each of the two copies

Explanation:

Semi-conservative mode of replication means that the two strands of DNA unwind from each other, and each of themacts as a template for synthesis of a new, complementary strand. As a result, two formed DNA moleculesc ontain one original strand and one new strand.

Meselson and Stahl experiment showed this model by labeling the DNA of bacteria across generations using isotopes of nitrogen ( patterns of DNA labeling showed the mode of replication).
