Upper epidermis. The cuticle on upper epidrrmal layer prevents excessive water loss
The carrying capacity in an environment is the maximum population size of the species that the environment can sustain indefinitely, given the food, habitat, water, and other necessities available in the environment.
Answer:
The correct option is;
7:32 AM
Explanation:
The information given are;
The time at 45 degrees W and 72 degrees N = 9:32 AM
The variation of time with lines of longitude is given as 15 degrees for each 1 hour variation, therefore, where we have the other location at 75 degrees W and 45 degrees S, the difference in the longitude = 75 - 45 = 30 degrees west of the initial location
Moving west is in the opposite direction of the Earths rotation, therefore, we subtract 1 hour for every 15 degrees giving 30/15 = 2 hours subtracted
The time at 75 degrees W and 45 degrees S is therefore, 9:32 AM - 2 hour = 7.32 AM
The latitude of a place left out in the calculation of the relative time of a place.
A mutation that involves one or a few nucleotides is called
a) mutagen
b) inversion
c) point mutation
d) translocation
Answer:
c) point mutation
Explanation:
When only one or a few nucleotides of a gene are changed by mutation, this is called a point mutation. A point mutation can add one additional nucleotide to the wild type gene or may delete or substitute a nucleotide from it. For example, if a wild type gene sequence is "ATATATATA", then the addition of "C" at the position 4 will change it into "ATACTATATA". This addition of new nucleotide is called point mutation since only one nucleotide is added to the gene. Point mutations can cause serious genetic disorders such as sickle cell anemia.
