Answer:

Ash weight and composition

Cremated remains are mostly dry calcium phosphates with some minor minerals, such as salts of sodium and potassium. Sulfur and most carbon are driven off as oxidized gases during the process, although about 1% -4% of carbon remains as carbonate.

Why cant most stars can make elements like gold and iron
balandron [24]

When a star is fusing iron in its core, it's still giving off insane amounts of energy. ... Iron cannot be fused into anything heavier because of the insane amounts of energy and force required to fuse iron atoms. The atomic structure of iron is very stable, more so than most other elements.

What are the products of light-dependent reactions? Why are they important in light-independent reactions?
tamaranim1 [39]

The products of light-dependent reaction are ATP and NADPH. They are essentially required to fix carbon dioxide and make glucose in light-independent reactions.

Light-dependent reactions are those that use the direct sunlight energy to make usable forms of chemical energy i.e., ATP and NADPH. For this, a pigment called chlorophyll is essential that has the ability to the capture the sunlight.

Light-independent reactions are those that do not directly depend on the sunlight energy to complete their process. Instead they are dependent on the products of light reactions so that they can fix atmospheric carbon dioxide and make glucose for the plant. Calvin cycle is the main process of light-independent reaction.

Evolution is the
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

Evolution is the <u>biological process</u> that happens over time in a population, giving rise to new <u>species.</u> The theory of evolution states that all organisms alive on Earth today <u>have a common ancestor</u> which lived <u>years ago</u>.

Explanation:

Evolution is one of the fundamental reason of diverse life on Earth today. Principally, this process takes place by changes in genetic elements via mutations and crossing-over. The positive changes (mutations) allow the organism to develop better condition in order to survive in changing environmment. However, if the changes takes place at major scale, it also leads to the creation/development of new species. To explain this further, I have added a photograph where we can see how different organisms were evolved in the history of Earth.

Genetic diversity

Explanation:

Sexual reproductions, mutation, and crossing-over generates a wide range of genetic diversity within a population.

  • Sexual reproduction is a type of reproduction in which gametes fuses to produce a fertile and viable offspring.
  • Mutation is the process of altering genetic sequences in population to production new breeds called mutants.
  • Crossing-over is the exchange of chromosomes between two homologous pairs.

All these processes ensures that a pool of diverse gene exists within a population in order give competitive and adaptability advantage to organisms.
