The major cause of staghorn corals decline is, that some organisms in the same aquatic environment affect them negatively and harm them a lot.

<h3>What do you mean by Corals?</h3>

Corals may be defined as marine invertebrates organisms that are composed of colonies of skeletons underwater bodies.

Staghorn is so vulnerable because its branches are so fragile and break by any disturbances. This causes the staghorn to ultimately disintegrate and die.

Therefore, it is well described above.

Assume that the average protein in
miv72 [106K]

Assume that the average protein in E.coli consists of a chain of 400 amino acids.  Now, a single amino acid present in the protein requires a codon to code for it. A codon consists of 3 nucleotides. This shows that a protein of length 400 amino acids will require, 400 codons to code for it, that is, 1200 (3 x 400) nucleotides are required. We know that the length of the E.coli genome on average is 5 x 10^{6} base pairs.

1200 nucleotides = 1 protein

5 x 10^{6} nucleotides = X no. of proteins

X = \frac{5\times 10^{6} \times 1}{1200} = 4167

The answer is 4167 proteins.

However, Meiosis I begins with one diploid parent cell and ends with two haploid daughter cells, halving the number of chromosomes in each cell.

Compare and Contrast competitive inhibition and and Allosteric inhibition
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Competitive inhibition vs allosteric inhibition

In competitive the substrate and inhibitor bind at the same active site - pretty straightforward. In allosteric regulation (speaking specifically about inhibition here), the inhibitor is binding at a site other than the active site, and changing the enzyme in some way to make it inactive.
