Answer:

D) Differential intron removal and rejoining exons

Explanation:

The human genome has only 20000-25000 genes which code for millions of proteins. Being eukaryotic organisms, human genes have introns, that is, the non-coding intervening sequences present between exons. Introns are removed by post-transcriptional splicing of RNA. Alternate splicing of introns and rejoining of exons give rise to different protein products from the same mRNA. This is how, a small number of human genes code for millions of protein products.

When is the net movement of water equal to zero?
Margaret [11]

Answer:

Hypotonic solutions are those with less solute (again read as higher water potential). Isotonic solutions have equal (iso-) concentrations of substances. Water potentials are thus equal, although there will still be equal amounts of water movement in and out of the cell, the net flow is zero.

What method(s) do plants use to obtain nitrogen? Select all that apply.
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

Plants can't use N2 as is so the first option is wrong. They do have relationships with bacteria that live in nodules of the root and convert the nitrogen into ammonia, a usable form for the plants. So the second option is correct. There are bacteria living in the soil as well that convert nitrogen to ammonia so technically option 3 is also correct. Again, nitrogen if present in water would be in the form N2 which is not usable by plants so 4 is wrong.

These are correct:

use bacteria to convert nitrogen to usable form

In obtain usable nitrogen compounds from the soil
