The correct answers are B & C. Silicon-32 is the parent isotope, which decays into phosphorus-32 (daughter isotope). The silicon-32 amount is halved every 170 years, so we can use this to determine how old the rock is. The amount of phosphorus-32 increases over time, but it is not equal to the amount of silicon-32.
<span>The answer is A.
Invasive species are species that thrive unregulated
in an introduced environment/ habitat and
affect the biodiversity of the environment.
They boom unchecked mostly due to lack of a natural predator. Therefore, introducing
a predator will limit their growth. </span>
Answer:
C. DNA ligase adds nucleotides to the lagging strand
Explanation:
DNA replication is the process during cell division in which DNA copies itself. DNA strands unwind with the help of helicase to initiate the process. DNA Polymerase III is responsible for prokaryotic replication and adds nucleotides in 5' to 3' direction. Since both the strands of DNA run in opposite direction their replication is slightly different. The lagging strand is also formed by DNA Polymerase III in discontinuous manner leading to formation of Okazaki fragments. DNA ligase joins these fragments once the replication process is completed.
Species X and species Z belong to the domain.
Answer: Option A.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Species which belong to the same domain, they also belong to the same kingdom and also to the same phylum. These species are very similar to each other and can also produce offspring together.
In the information given, species X and species Y belong to the same domain. The next column says that the species Y and species Z also belong to the same domain. So species X and species Z will also belong to the same domain.
Answer:
2 chromosomes
Explanation:
The cell of an eukaryotic organism like roundworm contains the Nucleus, which harbors the genetic material embedded in the chromosome. The number of chromosomes of that organism is contained in each cell.
Somatic cells, also called body cells, are all other cells asides sperm and eggs, that form the tissues and organs of an organism. Somatic cells are usually diploid i.e two sets of chromosomes from each parent. In this question, the roundworm has 4 chromosomes in its somatic cell.
The reproductive cells or sex cells (sperm and eggs) of an organism always result from meiotic division of specialized cells.
Since meiosis is a kind of division that results in cells with their chromosome number reduced by half (haploid), it therefore means that the ovum and sperm cell will be expected to contain 2 chromosomes each.
This way, when fertilization occurs (sperm and egg fusion), the resulting zygote, which will eventually develop into an adult organism, will have 4 chromosomes.
