Answer: The 4 layers that make up the earth is the crust, mantle, inner core and outer core.

Explanation: The crust, which is a main layer is where we live on. Without the crust, we'll be standing on the mantle! The temperate of the crust is 392 Fahrenheit! The crust is 30 km thick. The mantle is the second layer of the earth. It's below the crust and it's hot, dense and semi-solid. It's mostly made of iron, magnesium and silicon. It can reach as hot as 1000 Celsius (1832 Fahrenheit)! It's about 2900 km thick! Anyone who standing on it will melt! The inner core is the 3rd layer. It's below the mantle and made out of liquid iron (molten iron) and nickel. It is about 5,200 Celsius (9392 Fahrenheit). Now that is hot! Hotter than a fire even a heater! The last layer is the outer core. It's made out of liquid iron and nickel, like the inner core. The outer core can be as hot as 5500 Celsius (8132 to 9932 Fahrenheit!)

1. Describe the structure of DNA.

insens350 [35]

Answer:

DNA bases pair up with each other, A with T and C with G, to form units called base pairs. Each base is also attached to a sugar molecule and a phosphate molecule. Together, a base, sugar, and phosphate are called a nucleotide. Nucleotides are arranged in two long strands that form a spiral called a double helix.

A nucleotide consists of a sugar molecule (either ribose in RNA or deoxyribose in DNA) attached to a phosphate group and a nitrogen-containing base.

(b) Explain how producing the enzymes that digest α-pinene is beneficial to the bacterial species living within the nematodes.

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

It enables it to be left with little or no resistance

Explanation:

The pinewood nematode , Bursaphelenchus xylophilus is a plant-parasitic nematode that causes severe death of pine trees.

The pine trees developed a mechanism over the years by producing a chemical compound called α-pinene . This helps in fighting against the nematodes. If enzymes are produced to digest this chemical then the pine wood nematode will thrive well and result in the death of the pine trees.

Purple flowers are dominant over white flowers. A heterozygous purple flower is crossed with another heterozygous purple flower.

Anna007 [38]

You need to draw a punnet square:
_______
__|P | w |
|P |PP| Pw|
|w |Pw| ww|

So that means you'll have:
1/4 PP flowers, which are homozygous purple flowers
2/4 Pw flowers, which are heterozygous purple flowers
1/4 ww flowers, which are homozygous white flowers

So the ratio of purple to white flowers is 3:1
