Well, we have a book to write on this topic but imma explain it briefly plus simply.

  • Global warming emphasizes the environment with rising temperatures, water shortages, increased fire threats, droughts, weeds and pest attacks, severe storm damage and salt attacks, to name just a few.(In simple words)

Now, we'd go briefly and discuss some common affects briefly :

  1. Hotter days - The climate is getting more and more warmer and year 2015 was the hottest year ever record throughout the history. The Earth's temperature had already warmed by 1°C which is really dangerous.
  2. Rising sea levels - Rising sea levels due to climate change is the biggest problem causing natural calamities. Increased ocean temperatures are melting glaciers and ice caps all over the world. Melted ice increases the volume of water in our oceans. Warmer temperatures also result in the expansion of the water's mass, which causes sea levels to rise, threatening islands and coastal cities.
  3. More frequent and intense extreme weather - Extreme weather events like bushfires, cyclones, droughts and floods are becoming more common and more aggressive as a result of global warming.

Hope it helps <3

DNA Structure and Function Study Guide AP Biology 1. Match each scientist listed below with their contribution to the study of D
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

E. Erwin Chargaff >>  Discovered that there were equal amounts of the nitrogen bases A T and C G in a human body cell; concluded that A paired with T and C paired with G

B. Hershey and Chase>> Did experiments with viruses to determine that DNA, not protein, is the genetic material of a cell

A. Frederick Griffith>> Did experiments with S and R strain pneumonia bacteria to determine that DNA is the genetic material of a cell

C. Rosalind Franklin >> Took x-ray crystallography images of a DNA molecule.

Explanation:

Chargaff rules helped to determine the double helix structure of the Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), i.e., the genetic material of prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. Chargaff indicated that DNA from any species contains a 1:1 ratio of purine bases (Adenine and Guanine) and pyrimidine bases (Cytosine and Thymine). Hershey and Chase provided evidence that the DNA, instead of protein, is the hereditary material. Hershey and Chase used radioactive phosphorus-32 in order to label the DNA of specific bacteriophages (T2), and they discovered that the DNA was responsible to generate progeny inside infected bacteria (i.e., DNA was hereditary material). Frederick Griffith observed that DNA molecule was the transforming factor that could be transferred to innocuous <em>Streptococcus pneumoniae</em> bacteria in order to convert them into deadly bacteria. Finally, Rosalind Franklin obtained the first X-ray image that showed the diffraction pattern of a crystallized DNA molecule, which was used by Watson and Crick to propose that DNA had a double helix structure.

When a mutation results in no significant change in the production of a functional protein, it's called a?
DIA [1.3K]

The right answer is: neutral mutation.


Neutral mutation is a nucleotide change in the DNA of the leading to the replacement of one amino acid by another amino acid possessing the same physicochemical properties.

    example: AAA to AGA (Lysine to Arginine).


both these two amino acids are positively charged, so the charge of the protein will not change
