A volcanic winter is a reduction in global temperatures caused by volcanic ash and droplets of sulfuric acid and water obscuring the Sun and raising Earth's albedo (increasing the reflection of solar radiation) after a large, particularly explosive volcanic eruption.
Natural Selection.
An easy and important way to remember this is by thinking of a species - let’s say a bright white moth. For ages, these moths have survived beautifully, matching perfectly with the white tree bark they live on, until one day, a smoky building begins pumping its soot into the air. This air begins to change the color of the tree bark to black and the once hidden white moths are now plainly visible to birds who eat them easily. Fortunately, every now and then a moth is born who is darker than the rest - black as soot even. And so, the birds keep eating the white moths but missing the soot-colored ones. As time goes by, the soot-colored moths produce more and more similarly colored moths, who are well hidden from the birds AND after enough time, the only moths that remain are soot-colored. This is why so many species “fit” exquisitely into their environment. They have ALL adapted in some way similar to the soot-colored moth.
Answer:
5 bases
Explanation:
If there are 17 amino acids and only 2 bases that can be combined in order to make a codon then:
for 4 bases
is 16 and it is not enough combination for all 17 amino acids
for 5 bases
is 25 combinations (meaning that more than one codon could code for the same amino acid).
Answer:
Option (I) and (IV).
Explanation:
Fatty acids may be defined as the carboxylic acid that contains the long aliphatic chain. Fats are generally of two types - saturated fatty acid and unsaturated fatty acid.
The fatty acids are generally synthesized in the two carbon units. This helps in the proper synthesis of fat. The fatty acids that are most common in plants and animals are palmittic acid or the fats that contain C16 and C18 species predominate.
Thus, the correct answer is option (I) and (IV).
A cellular membrane separates the interior of all cells from the outside environment.
