The Grand Canyon of Arizona is one of world’s largest and steepest canyons. It ranges up to 277 miles long and 18 miles wide. Its formation is carved due to the erosive power of the water’s current.  As heavy rains continue to occur, more rocks and stones erode and fall which adds length and width to the Grand Canyon.

Classify the events as autogenic or allogenic succession.
nydimaria [60]

In ecology, allogenic succession is mediated by the abiotic components of the ecosystem, while the autogenic succession refers to the succession, which is mediated by the biotic components of an ecosystem.  

A volcanic eruption wiping out an entire island is an example of allogenic succession.  

A soybean crop helping in nitrogen fixation, leading to the development of other species is an illustration of autogenic succession.  

A tsunami devastating all the living organism in a habitat is an example of allogenic succession.  

Oak trees preventing the growth of smaller sun-seeking shrubs is an example of autogenic succession.

Which of the following sets of materials is required by both eukaryotes and prokaryotes for replication? Group of answer choices
erastova [34]

Answer:

Double-stranded DNA.

Explanation:

Replication may be defined as the process of formation of the daughter DNA from the parent DNA with the help of enzymes and proteins. The three main process of replication are inititation , elongation and termination.

The double stranded DNA molecule undergoes the process of replication. Four different dNTPs - adenine, guanine, thymine and cytosine are required for the process of replication.  Primers are required for initiation of the process of replication and ori region is the inititaion point of replication.

Thus, the correct answer is option (a).

Evaluate each of the statements below. Select those that accurately describe the role of genes and chromosomes in the process of
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

A) Chromosomes are made of DNA

C) Alleles are the different forms of a gene that can exist

D) Chromosomes contain genes that control the inheritance of traits.

Explanation:

Chromosomes are long molecules of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) that contain part (or all) of the genetic material of an organism. Humans contain 46 chromosomes organized in 23 pairs of homologous chromosomes (22 pairs of autosomal chromosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes, X and Y). Moreover, a gene is a physical segment of a chromosome that contains the information to encode a protein. Alleles are different forms of a gene  (i.e., gene variants) that may be caused by mutations or genetic recombination. Humans are diploid organisms (2N: 46), and therefore we have two copies of each gene (alleles), one on each homologous chromosome.
