The options attached to this question are given below:
A. contains mostly needle-leaved evergreen trees.
B. is home to herds of giraffes, zebras, and wildebeests.
C. receives less than 25 cm of precipitation per year.
D. has low-growing; touch shrubs and rock, dry soils
.
ANSWER
The correct option is D.
The chappral biome is one of the most widespread biome in the world, it can be found on almost all continents. The major characteristic of the biome include the following:
It has both forest and grassland,
It has two major seasons, winter and summer; the summer season is usually very dry and last for about five months.
The dry summer makes the biome sensitive to fire outbreak, which is a common occurrence there.
The amount of rain available to the biome is about 10 - 17 inches per year and is only able to support shrubs growth, only few trees can be found in the biome.
The biome can be a plain, a rolling hill or a mountain and the soil is usually very dry.
Answer:
<u><em>Starfish</em></u> reproduce every winter by ejecting there eggs into the water, since they only live on average 35 years they reproduce about 35 times in their lifetime. Only a couple of the eggs will fertilize and turn into a Starfish.
<u><em>Hippos</em></u> are the only mammals in Africa that reproduce in water, Hippos reproduce in May and through June. Hippos usually live to around 40 to 50 years, and most hippos through May and June reproduce more than one time.
Explanation:
Hippos strategies of reproducing are better than Starfish.
Answer:
introduces a premature stop codon into the mRNA
Explanation:
A nonsense mutation is a mutation in which an amino acid–specifying codon is changed into a termination codon or stop codon. A stop codon is a codon that does not code for any amino acid and serves to terminate the process of protein synthesis as ribosomes encounter it on the mRNA.
There are three stop codons: UAA, UAG, UGA. A nonsense mutation introduces a stop codon in place of an amino acid encoding codon. It results in the formation of truncated protein which is shorter than the normal protein. Truncated proteins are mostly nonfunctional.
C) stores heredity information
