Answer:
Either due to mistakes when the DNA is copied or as the result of environmental factors such as UV light and cigarette smoke.
Answer:
No
Explanation:
Atmospheric refraction raises the sun about 1/2 degrees upward in our sky at both sunrise and sunset. This advances the time of actual sunrise, while delaying the time of actual sunset. This gives several minutes of extra daylight, not just at an equinox.
Options for the question have not been provided. They are as follows:
A) The single intact parcel would have a smaller amount of edge than the 20 separate parcels.
B) The isolated hectare plots increase the ability of individuals to disperse from one habitat to another.
C) The separate 1-hectare plots are less vulnerable to edge effects.
D) The large plot will create more inbreeding in many species.
Answer:
A) The single intact parcel would have a smaller amount of edge than the 20 separate parcels.
Explanation:
In the given case, 20 hectares of land has been allocated to natural habitat. This means that natural flora and fauna will flourish here without any human interference. In this situation it is better to have an intact 20 hectares area at one side of the land, rather than having 20 separately spread out 1 hectare areas. This is because having one large piece of land at one side will reduce the edge effect.
Edges occur where two different habitats meet. While edges can be beneficial when it comes to natural habitats because the boundary habitat increases overall biodiversity, it can be detrimental when the edges are due to human settlements. It will be difficult to avoid human interference as the natural habitats are scattered among human settlements. Each individual plot will also get less area due to which it will be difficult for all the species to accommodate comfortably. Many animals can venture out in search of food which can be dangerous to both animals and humans. It is better to have a big separate land at one corner so that everyone can survive peacefully.
Answer:
1. coevolution
2. abiogenesis
3. Endosymbiont Theory
4. It's estimated that over 99 percent of the species that have existed on Earth at some point in time are extinct today.
5. Coevolution implies that the evolution of one species is dependent on and works in relation to the evolution of another species. This may cause positive or negative impacts and could be beneficial to both organisms or only to one.
6. This theory states that the first building block of life that allowed for reproduction of organisms was the development of self-replicating RNA. This hasn't been able to be fully demonstrated in any science experiment but is based on the idea that there are RNAs that can catalyze biochemical reactions on their own without proteins.
7. This process points to the development of structures through the envelopment of smaller cells that perform specific functions. This is how eukaryotic cells evolved from prokaryotic cells.
8. This experiment was important because it showed that, in the right primordial soup, organic compounds could develop from inorganic compounds.

A. Air temperature
The air temperature does not effect how producers get their source of energy. Soil moisture and available sunlight are important for photosynthesis regarding energy conversions.
