Answer:

Biological diversity - or biodiversity - is the term given to the variety of life on Earth and the natural patterns it forms. The biodiversity is the fruit of billions of years of evolution, shaped by natural processes and, increasingly, by the influence of humans.

Explanation:

Biodiversity is important to humans for many reasons. ... Ecological life support— biodiversity provides functioning ecosystems that supply oxygen, clean air and water, pollination of plants, pest control, wastewater treatment and many ecosystem services. If no changes are made in the ways humans use resources on earth, there will continue to be a degradation of biodiversity until human lives can no longer be sustained. Humans affect biodiversity by their population numbers, use of land, and their lifestyles, causing damage to habitats for species.

Solids will usually sink when placed in their own liquids. Which is an exception?
Marat540 [252]

WATER

Solids will usually sink when placed in their own liquids with the exception of water

Explanation:

Ice (the solid form of water) floats on water that is cooler than 4 degrees centigrade. This is unlike any other material and this phenomenon has been referred to as the ‘water anomaly’.

Most substances will sink in their own liquid because the solid form is denser than the amount of their own liquid that they displace when immersed. This is because the particles in the solid are closely packed together hence there are more particles per volume than in the liquid form.  

Water however, expands at temperatures below 4 degrees and hence ice is less dense than water at 4 degrees and below. The particles in ice are farther apart than particles of water at 4 degrees and below. There is, therefore, more particles per volume in the liquid form of water than in ice – making ice less dense.

If the two oligonucleotides are allowed to anneal and the DNA polymerase and all substrates (4 dNTPs, etc.) are added to the mix
Lorico [155]

Answer:

d. T

Explanation:

For a given DNA sequence, the array is represented as:

5'ATCCTGGACACTGTACCATCGGTACCAATCACAGGTCCTTACAGT 3'

And the premier; 5' GGACCTGTGA 3' attaches to the complementary base on the DNA sequence.

i.e.

5'ATCCTGGACACTGTACCATCGGTACCAATCACAGGTCCTTACAGT 3'

*AGTGTCCAGG

Thus, the first nucleotide that will be incorporated into the DNA will be T
