Cacti grow in the desert, which is a very hot climate. Not the best for both gaining and maintaining water supplies, due to the fact that water becomes vapour very quickly in conditions such as a desert (unless we're talking about polar deserts).

Keeping their stomata closed during the day stops water vapour from escaping their cells. While this does inhibit growth and stop new water molecules from entering, it allows the cactus to maintain a healthy amount of water within itself.

Answer:

The mutations occur at a rate of 0.56 base changes every 1 billion years. If this rate stays consistent, the mutation rate can be used to determine when different lineages of a particular species split

Which of the following statements about transposable genetic elements is NOT true?
Katarina [22]

Answer:

C. They all use a cut and paste mechanism.

Explanation:

DNA transposons can go through a replicative or nonreplicative transposition.

The replicative transposition uses a "copy and paste" mechanism that consists of the introduction of a new copy of the transposable element in a new position, meanwhile <u>the old copy remains in the original position</u>. This determines an increase in the number of copies.

The nonreplicative transposition uses a "cut and paste" mechanism that consists of the cleavage of the transposable element from its position and its <u>insertion in a new position</u> without increasing the number of copies.

Retrotransposons, on the other side, move through RNA intermediates generated by the reverse transcriptase.

If a species has 35 percent adenine in its dna, what is the percentage of the other three bases?
Basile [38]

Answer:

The percentage of other bases are: Thymine = 35%, guanine = 15% and cytosine = 15%.

Explanation:

There are four bases in DNA molecules, the bases are adenine, thymine, guanine and cytosine. The quantity of adenine and thymine are always equal, so also, the quantity of guanine and cytosine are always equal. Based on the information given in the question, Adenine = 35%, this implies that thymine too is 35%. The two bases added together give 70% , leaving only 30% for guanine and cytosine. Cytosine and guanine will share this equally and so each one of them will have 15%.
