There are two types of polymers which are natural and synthetic polymers. Natural polymers do not affect the environment but synthetic polymers do. This type of polymers are produced by humans. These release reactants which are considered hazardous to humans and the environment. Synthetic polymers include rubbers, plastics, and adhesives, and these are considered non-biodegradable and non environmental friendly. As these build up in the environment, in causes problems such as chemical poisoning to all the living things around it.
Sweat evaporates, it is through the process of evaporation that heat is taken away from the body and into the surrounding atmosphere
Answer: The estimated population is 1250 mice
Explanation: The method use was marked and recapture, in which individuals are marked in the first capture and after some time biologist trap a new group of individuals that can be or not marked
Whit this data is possible to estimate the size of a population applying the Peterson method but is important to make some considerations such as:
1. All indivuals have the same probability to be capture
2, The population remain constant in terms of birth and death rate.
Taking this into account, the formula that allows to determine the size of the population is:
N=CM / R
where N is the size of the population, C is number of indivuals trapped in recapture, M is number of individuals marked in the first capture and R is the number of marked animals trapped in recapture
In this case:
N = 250 * 200 / 40 = 1250
If a gene is found only on the X chromosome and not the Y chromosome, it is
said to be a sex-linked trait. Because the
gene controlling the trait is located on the sex chromosome, sex linkage is
linked to the gender of the individual. Usually such genes are found on the
X chromosome. The Y chromosome is thus missing such genes (See Diagram above.).
The result is that females will have two copies of the sex-linked gene while
males will only have one copy of this gene. If the gene is recessive, then males
only need one such recessive gene to have a sex-linked trait rather than the
customary two recessive genes for traits that are not sex-linked. This is why
males exhibit some traits more frequently than females.

The answers are:
A. DNA replication in the nucleus of a cell
B. From one helix of DNA in a replication process, we get two: The DNA is a double helix and it consists of two strands of specifically connected amino-acids. When the time for replication comes, a set of enzymes unwind the two strands and leave them as a base for additional two strands attaching to them - the green line is an example of that. The free nucleotides - adenine, guanine, thymine and cytosine are left open and the enzyme called DNA-polymerase helps to produce a new strand on the template of the old parental one (one of the blue ones in the picture)
C. By the location on the smaller picture - replication takes place in the nucleus. And the most important hint are the letters A - adenine, G - guanine, T- thymine, and C-cytosine. A connects with T, and G connects with C.
