Answer:

25000 fragments

Explanation:

A restriction enzyme can cut a random DNA sequence once per every 4^n where n = number of bases in the recognition site of enzyme.

There are 6 bases in Xbal's recognition site (TCTAGA) so it will cut once per every 4^6 = 4096 bases (4kb).

Total genomic size = 100000kb

So expected number of fragments = Total genomic size/Size of one fragment

= 100000/4

= 25000 fragments

Which identifies the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?
Serga [27]

Answer:

Both processes generate energy for cell use.

The products of one process are used as reactants by the other process.The products of one process are used as reactants by the other process.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process by which glucose is formed in plants with the aid of light energy and chlorophyll. Cellular respiration is the breakdown of glucose to release energy, water and carbon dioxide. The end products of respiration are used in photosynthesis. Glucose formed from photosynthesis is used in respiration as a reactant.

Which of the following results from cutting down trees
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Vegetation on soil protects the soil from erosion because its roots and root hairs help bind the soil particles together. This occurs mechanically by binding soil into crumbs and also chemically by providing organic matter that binds the soil particle into humus that holds moisture. The soil becomes heavy to be carried off by wind erosion. Trees also break the down flow of water hence reducing the capacity of runoff to carry soil sediments.
