Biology

Answer:

Carbon is an essential factor to the survival of living things.

Explanation:

It is produced as a waste by-product of metabolism in living organisms and combines with oxygen to be released as Carbon Dioxide (CO2).

Plants on the other hand require CO2 to process sunlight and nutrients into energy. They in return release oxygen which is required by animals to break down food.

Factories, businesses, people (as they generate electricity, transport people and goods, etc) release lots of carbon into the atmosphere it also combines with oxygen again to form C02.

The ocean and water bodies also serve as a collecting conduit of CO2, especially where the water temperature is relatively warm. When CO2 is captured by the ocean, it is used by some sea animals to make shells.

The success of plants extending their range northward following glacial retreat is best determined by _____.
alexgriva [62]

The complete question is :

The success of plants extending their range northward following glacial retreat is best determined by _____.

A) whether there is simultaneous migration of herbivores

B) their tolerance to shade

C) their seed dispersal rate

D) their size

Answer: The seed dispersal rate

Explanation:

The  seed dispersal can be defined as the movement of the seeds away from the parent plant. The ability of the plant to extend is completely dependent on the ability of the plant to disperse its seeds.

Plants have very limited ability, they need vectors to carry its seed from one place to another.

The biotic and abiotic vector both are involved in carrying the seeds which helps in expansion of the trees.

hence, the correct answer is option C

How would a mistake in transcribing the DNA message affect your ability to catch the killer?
mel-nik [20]

Answer: When the DNA collected on the crime scene is being analysed in the forensic lab, the results will be inconclusive, because error in DNA transcription, particularly in mRNA encoding leads to inheritable phenotype change by reprogramming the transcriptional network, without changing the DNA. Transcription errors are brief with no long-term consequences. Due to mRNA being short-lived and the erroneous proteins are degraded. A decrease in transcription accuracy triggers cellular identity change.

Explanation: This is called epimutation, a heritable modification that results in the change of gene expression, but not the DNA sequence. Epimutation is not associated with DNA mutation, but is associated with the loss or gain of DNA methylation or other heritable changes of the chromatin.
