Which of these biomes tends to have the coldest temperatures? a. rain forest b. temperate forest c. taiga d. savanna

option C

It is a flat, artic region of Europe Asia and North America in which the subsoil is permanently ice-covered. It has limited drainage and a very short season of growth  and reproduction due to its extreme weather conditions. Reptiles and amphibians are almost absent from Taiga. Animals like reindeer, polar bear snowy owl are mostly found in this area. The vegetation found here is coniferous vegetation mostly spruce with some pines and firs.  

c.) polymerase chain reaction

- "unlike the original dna fingerprinting method, dna profiling does not use restriction enzymes to cut the dna. instead it uses the polymerase chain reaction (pcr)? to produce many copies of specific str sequences. pcr is an automated procedure that generates lots of copies of a specific sequence of dna."

c. earths continental crust is thicker than its lithosphere.

because, the lithosphere is the outermost layer of the earth/ 100 km thick and is defined by its machanical properties.the lithosphere contains oceanic and continental crust that varies in age and thickness across locations and geologic time. the lithosphere is the coolest layer of the earth in terms of temperature. the term lithosphere should not be confused with the use of "geosphere" which is used to indicate all of earth systems, including the atmosphere, hydrosphere   and biosphere. the surface of the earth can be divided into the continental crust and the oceanic crust.   the continental crust is made mostly of granite while the oceanic crust is made of basalt. the average thickness of the continental crust is 25 miles and the average thickness of the oceanic crust is 5 miles.   three types of rock, igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic, make up the surface of the earth. that's why 3 option is preferable.
