Their grazing made the grass more nutritious for the huge herds of bison, and a variety of snakes, raptors, and mammals   preyed on the rodents. In fact, the black- footed ferret (now endangered) specialized in prairie dog predation. Today, growing housing and agricultural developments have covered many prairie dog towns. Which of the following statements about prairie dogs is true?

a) The air surrounding the leaf is very still, the layer of unstirred air on the surface of the leaf may be so thick that it is the primary deterrent to water vapor loss from the leaf   
b) The air surrounding the leaf is very still, reduces the thickness of the boundary layer at the leaf surface, reducing the resistance of this layer
c) The moving air reduces the thickness of the boundary layer at the leaf surface, reducing the resistance of this layer

The genomic DNA of an organism is digested with two restriction enzymes; one of the, PstI (CTGCA/G), while the other., MseI (T/TAA). This would generate the following 3 types of DNA fragments: 
(1) both ends cleaved by PstI (Pst-Pst), 
(2) both ends cleaved by MseI (Mse-Mse), and 
(3) one end generated by each of the two enzymes (Pst-Mse).
