Cells are what make up everything which is why they are basic units, nut inside this basic unit is a whole functioning organism with parts in it that help make everything work. think of a cell like a clock. different gears move different things and if one was missing the clock wouldn't work. they all work together to make the clock (cell) run and do it's job, whatever that may be. idk if this answered your question but I hope it helps you understand better.

They are the basic units of structure because they are the smallest unit of life. you cant go any further. also they make up every living thing from prokaryote to eukaryote.

Which of the following best explains why the latitude of a region influences its climate?
Rudik [331]

Answer:

"The latitude of a region determines how much sunlight the area receives" this statement says about why the latitude of a region influences its climate.

Explanation:

The latitude determines the sunlight of the area receives because, the more the latitude the sharper will be angle of the sun's rays which will reach the surface. Means that the rays of the sun are being spread over the broader area. Hence, More the latitude receive will be the less than the lower latitude areas located nearer to the equator. As, we know the sun's ray first strikes over the Earth's surface which is near the equator as these places receive direct solar radiation. At greater latitude the solar radiations gets spread in more area and hence the temperature also reduces.

Scientists seeking to determine which molecule is responsible for the transmission of characteristics from one generation to the
worty [1.4K]
A) DNA fulfils all three conditions:
<span>(1) copy itself precisely - in the process of replication, DNA copies itself and two molecules of DNA are formed. This process is very precise thanks to the great number of proteins involved in these process that prevents error occurring and proteins that can fix the error if it occurs.
(2) be stable but able to be changed - DNA is very stable molecule otherwise, it cannot be a genetic material. However, its chains can separate in a short length so the translational machinery can attach to it and the process of transcription can occur. Also, in crossing over, during meiosis, </span>the exchange of genetic material occurs and chromosomes change a bit.<span>
(3) be complex enough to determine the organism’s phenotype - it contains a number of genes responsible for different traits. All of this results in the </span>organism’s phenotype.


B) DNA copies itself. <span>Meselson and Stahl conducted the experiments on DNA replication in which they used </span>E. coli<span> bacteria as a model system. After they labelled all bacteria's DNA with heavy 15N by using medium with heavy 15N, they switched bacteria to medium with light 14N. After several generations, all bacteria's DNA was labelled with light 14N. This experiment evidenced that the self-replication of DNA is semi-conservative process.</span>
