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

What is an example of a biotic factor in a biome?: * A. scavengers B. producers C. soil
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

The correct answer is A. scavengers and B. producers

Explanation:

Two types of factors are found in a biome biotic and abiotic factor. All the living things in any biome comes under biotic factors like animals, plants, and microbes and all the non-living things present in the biome are non-biotic factors for example soil, temperature, air, water, salt, etc.

So biome is made up of both living and non-living factors. Scavengers are the organisms that feed on dead and decaying matter and producers are the organisms that make their own food. Most of the producers are plants.  

So both scavengers and producers are living organisms therefore both are examples of biotic factors.

Nastasia [14]
The correct answer is bulimia.
Bulimia is an eating disorder where a person eats as much food as they can, only to throw up everything they have eaten - they induce themselves to vomit to get rid of all the food they took. 
Anorexia doesn't necessarily involve vomiting. Hypertension is high blood pressure. Obesity refers to extremely overweight people.
