Monoculture is the raising of crops and livestock to make an entire breed or population have individually identical genes. Monoc

ulture is very productive and efficient because it can yield a huge supply of a single crop, such as corn or soybeans. Monoculture has several negatives to its use. If a disease is contracted by one individual in a population of genetically-identical plants, then the whole population could be wiped out. Other negatives include all BUT ONE of the following points. That is A) increased herbicide and pesticide use. B) monoculture quickly depletes the soil of nutrients. C) a decrease the genetic variation of certain gene pools. D) a decrease in the cost to farmers who rely on monocultures.

Answer:

The correct answer is option D, a decrease in the cost to farmers who rely on mono cultures.

Explanation:

All the options except D, are the disadvantages of monoculture in the following ways  

A) increased herbicide and pesticide use – Due to monoculture the nutrients in the soil gets depleted and thus more and more fertilizers are used which attracts more and more pests and to kill the pests more and more herbicides and pesticides are used

B) monoculture quickly depletes the soil of nutrients. – This is so because same crop uses same nutrient and continuous monoculture do not give land sufficient time to replenish its lost nutrients.

C) a decrease the genetic variation of certain gene pools – due to monoculture , probability of cross fertilization becomes nill

D) a decrease in the cost to farmers who rely on monocultures-there is no decrease in cost to farmers as input of fertilizer, herbicides and pesticides increases which enhances the cost.

Hairpins often form at palindromic sequences in single strands of either rna or dna. however, several key features differentiate
AlekseyPX
Hairpin like structures are formed in both DNA and RNA but are common in RNA than in DNA. This is because DNA can be double stranded or single stranded while RNA is generally single stranded structure that can be double stranded only when it forms a hair pin like structure.
The features of hairpin structure in RNA are as follows:
1. This structure is a building block of many secondary structures of RNA.
2. The termination sequence during transcription also forms a hairpin loop like structure.
3. tRNA also forms a hairpin loop like structure and helps in the process of translation.

The _____ was a worldwide effort to map the complete human genetic code.
77julia77 [94]
<span>The answer is 'The Human Genome Project". The Human Genome Project (1990-2003) was an international effort to map the compete human genetic code, the sequence of nucleotide base pairs that make up human DNA, collectively call the human genome. The official date of completion was timed to coincide with celebrations of the 50th anniversary of James D. Watson and Francis Crick's discovery of the double-helical structure of DNA (April 12, 2003). The Human Genome, the molecular instruction book of human life, contains the essential sequence of three billion base pairs of DNA.</span>
