Answer:

d) 5'-UGUGUGUGUGUGUGUG...-3'

Explanation:

A UG dinucleotide is when UG is repeated.

mRNAs are transcribed and translated as a 5' to 3' molecule. Therefore, the direction should be 5' - 3'.

For the mRNA to be in frame, it must start with UG. The only option that runs 5' - 3' and is in frame for a UG dinucleotide is d.

Why is insertion/deletion of three bases less deleterious than insertion/deletion of one or two bases.
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

Explanation:

Insertion/deletion of 3 base which is a condon will be less fathal because only one amino acid will be missing from the protein of which the gene codes for.

If one codon is deleted it will still be the same but might cause a disease for example in cystic fibrosis one amino acid, 508th Phenly alanine is missing in the CFTR protein. They severity of diseases caused by Insertion or deletion is increased as the number of condon are more.

However, if only one or two is deleted/inserted then all the codons will shift causing them to be in different groups which may form a totally different amino acids as seen in frameshift mutation. This is more dangerous.

Think of a change that can occur to an ecosystem and the populations that live in that area. In what ways can the different popu
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

There are several environmental factors that causes changes in the ecosystem and the population of that area such as invasive species, extreme weather, land use change, pollution and disease.

Lets take invasive species as environmental factor. Introduction of invasive species can cause a huge change in the ecosystem and affects the native population in that area. it increases the competition for food resources and decreases the survival rate of their preys.

For example: Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes). It is an invasive plant species that has very bad impact of native population as well as other population, like it reduces biological diversity, oxygen loss, decreased phytoplankton productivity,  eliminate plants that animals use for nesting, and alter animal communities by blocking access to the water.

Thus invasive population can affect population by reducing biodiversity, water shortages, decreasing availability and quality of key natural resources, disturb the food chain and can cause natural calamities.

Invasive species affect the resources that native species are using and that decreases the carrying capacity of the native population as it disturbs the whole food chain.

If a professor accused you of cheating on a test, your adrenal glands would probably release ________ into your bloodstream
solong [7]

Answer: D. Epinephrine

Explanation:

During perceived danger the fight-or-flight response includes faster heart beat, quickened breath, tense muscles and thought speed up. This co-ordinated set if physiological changes is triggered by two hormones of the adrenal gland, epinephrine and norepinephrine.

The major activities of these hormones is to increase the amount of chemical energy available for immediate use, increase the heart rate and stroke volume and dilate the bronchioles in the lungs, action the raise the rate of oxygen delivery to the cell.

Answer is epinephrine

Explain how the wind may be involved in the formation of sandstone arches.
WITCHER [35]

Answer

Wind may be involved in the formation of sandstone arches by facilitating erosion which wore away exposed sections of rocks and enlarges the cracks on the surface forming marrow sandstone fins.

Explanation

Sandstone arches can be formed when a large piece of sandstone flaked off as a result of high winds. In addition to that, alternative frost and thawing can result into crumbling of porous sandstone which will in the long run cut through some fins. These resulting holes enlarge to form arches with effects of weathering and rock fall caused by wind.
