C.The density of ice is less than the density of water.
Restoring farmlands to wetlands consists of a lot of pro and cons. Firstly, they should consider that wetlands will greatly filter carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and reduce greenhouse gases. Wetlands restoration would probably affect the lives of the nearby human residents negatively. This is due to the fact that wetlands provides an optimal habitat to wild animals especially dangerous carnivores like alligators. The regeneration project will expand the habitats of animals, and clean the water system but it will remove the nutrients from the soil.
The answer is D. In a
geological era, when the plants and animals
in the then environment die, they get buried
in sediments. These sediments are covered
by other sediments of another geological
time within which are the remains of dead species
of the then geological era. These sediments from different geological times have different properties hence
form visible strata that can be studied to identify the kind of environment in the then geological time. Their
fossils can also be studied to identify
the kind of species that roamed the earth during the time.
With the sequence of the gene-coding regions of the human genome in hand and the development of newer sequencing methods, scientists are able to
1. develop new forensic tests that can help in the identification of the convict.
2. diagnose genetic diseases before their onset.
3. develop customised medicines based on the genetic profile of the patient.
4. therapeutically target the cancer causing genes (oncogenes) in the patients.
5. understand the inheritance of genes especially the rare mutations in a population.
