Answer:

DNA is made up of two nucleic acid strands joined by hydrogen bonding. DNA winds into a double helix, with hydrogen bonding between the bases of each strand like the rungs of a ladder. This structure enables DNA to coil so that the long molecule is compact and lots of information can be stored in a small space.

The diagram shows the position of earth during solstice. select the area that would be getting around 24 hours of daylight each
jeka57 [31]

The answer is Artic Circle Zone (red square at the top)

Explanation:

A solstice occurs two times in a year when the Sun reaches farther either the south or the north of Earth. In the image presented, there is a solstice because the sunlight reachers farther in the North. Additionally, this phenomenon occurs due to the tilt (inclination) of Earth, and it increases the number of daylight/night hours in different zones.

In the case of the Arctic Circle Zone (north pole) it is likely during the solstice, this zone has around 24 of daylight each day because almost all this zone is directly exposed to the sunlight, and therefore this will always be reached by sunrays despite the rotation of Earth (rotation of Earth in its axis). On the other hand, other zones will not be exposed to sunlight all the time because the location and rotation will cause these areas are in the dark zone of Earth during specific hours every day.

The process of converting the genetic message from DNA into __________ is called transcription.
11111nata11111 [884]

The process of converting the genetic message from DNA into RNA is called transcription.

Transcription is the phase of gene expression in which a certain part of DNA is copied into RNA. Transcription is carried out by the enzyme RNA polymerase which joins nucleotides to produce an RNA strand and uses a DNA strand as a template. The three stages involved in transcription are initiation, elongation, and termination.

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

Minimal media + glucose + streptomycin

Explanation:

Those capable of synthesizing galactose can grow in minimal media, the availability of streptomycin will destroy those who are susceptible to the antibiotic, whereas glucose, a carbon source from which galactose may be produced and will encourage growth.

Therefore:

The medium should not include galactose when selecting for gal⁺.

Streptomycin should be present in the medium to select against str^s.

The medium to choose is: Minimal media + glucose + streptomycin.

In which oceanic zone do clams and crabs survive by burrowing in the sand?
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

Mesopelagic zone

Explanation:

The Mesopelagic zone, also referred to as the Twilight zone, is the second oceanic zone from the top, lying just bellow the Epipelagic zone. It is occupying the waters at depths between 200 meters and 1,000 meters. The sunlight is only managing to reach the top few meters of this zone, while the rest is not receiving any sunlight, thus this zone is not supporting the plant species because they need sunlight for the process of photosynthesis. There are lot of animal species that live in this zone though, and they are ll very well adapted for it, often having hard shells or heavily scaled bodies, larger lungs and heart, and very well developed gills. Some of the animals that live in here are the crabs and the clams. They have developed all the needed characteristics to live in this zone. Because they are prey to lot of larger animals, both the crabs and the clams have started to use the soft sediments at the bottom as cover, digging themselves below it, and mostly managing to evade trouble and end up as food for the other species.
