Adaptations afford the organism a better chance to survive in its surroundings. Desert Adaptations. Deserts, where the environment is generally hot and extremely dry, provide many striking examples of how plants and animals are adapted to their surroundings. Plants have many adaptations to cope with the lack of water.

They adapt because they are forced to survive. An example would be certain animals gaining the ability to camouflage to protect themselves from predators.

What is the dark, organic-rich material that develops when the decay of plant material is slowed by the of lack of oxygen under

padilas [110]

This is what is commonly know as 'peat'. Peat is found in peatlands, bogs, mires and moors, and is an accumulation of partially decayed vegetation or organic matter. The decay is slowed down by a lack of oxygen due to waterlogged conditions. These areas are very important carbon sinks as the CO2 released by the decaying matter is trapped within the peat. It requires thousands of years for peatland to develop. Peatlands are very important as they provide a record of past vegetation and climate within the preserved plant remains.

tructures used in recombinant DNA technology to carry the DNA from the cells of one species to the cells of another species are

Kobotan [32]

The process of fusing two or more DNA molecules to produce a hybrid is known as recombinant DNA. Restrictions endonucleases and ligases are two classes of enzymes that enable the technique.

When a restriction endonuclease detects a particular DNA sequence, it makes cuts inside or near that sequence. The recognition sequence of a restriction enzyme will haphazardly appear on every (1–4)n bases along a random DNA chain. The equation states how many fragments ends (measured in moles) are produced when a restriction enzyme cuts DNA.

Moles of DNA ends =2x(grams of DNA)/(number of bp)(660 g/mol / bp).

The equation describes how many ends are produced when circular DNA is digested by a restriction enzyme.

Mole ends=2x(moles DNA)x number of restriction sites.

The following equation can be used to determine how many ends are produced during the digestion of a linear molecule by a restriction endonuclease.

Mole ends=2x(molesDNA)number of restriction sites +[2x(moles of DNA)].
