<h3>Answer:</h3>

The Correct answer is... C. Protists are a catch-all group for eukaryotes that aren't plants, fungi, or animals.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Let's break it down!

~~~

A. Protists are all heterotrophic.

The given statement in answer choice A. is (partially correct) FALSE.

The following statement is TRUE... The protist is classified as either autotrophs or heterotrophs.

~~~

B. Protists can't live in freshwater.

The given statement in answer choice B. is also FALSE.

TRUE... Nearly all protists exist in some type of aquatic environment, including freshwater.

~~~

C. Protists are a catch-all group for eukaryotes that aren't plants, fungi, or animals.

The given statement in answer choice C. is CORRECT!

TRUE... As the catchall term for eukaryotic organisms that are not animals, plants, fungi, or any single phylogenetically related group, it is not surprising that few characteristics are common to all protists.

~~~

D. Protists are all parasitic.

The given statement in answer choice D. is (partially correct) FALSE.

TRUE... Many protists are pathogenic parasites that must infect other organisms to survive and propagate.

~~~

Therefore, the correct answer choice is C.

How do the resurection of fern, crysts of brine shrimps and tardigrade survive with no water?

ehidna [41]

They survive without water by entering a special mode, otherwise called as shriveling. They can lose even 95% of water in their body and still live, even though they would look like dead plants, they would actually be alive. In the absence of water, tardigrades use a sugar called trehalose, which becomes their source of life until they find some water.

Nirenberg and leder used synthetic ‘triplets’ of rna. The purpose of these short rna molecules was to.

dmitriy555 [2]

Take the place of part of an mRNA within the ribosome.

Rna triplets

The nucleotide sequence copy of a gene is present in the mRNA. Each amino acid is represented by a triplet of the four nucleotide bases that make up the genetic alphabet. The relationship between triplet sequences and amino acids is known as the genetic code.

A codon is a triplet of RNA nucleotides that codes for a particular amino acid. To the ribosome, where translation takes place, the tRNA transports certain amino acids. During translation, the anticodons in the tRNA bind to the codons in the mRNA templates. It is essential for the codon and anticodon to interact in order to pair the codon with the appropriate amino acid.

In mRNA, each trio of nucleotides is referred to as a codon, and each codon designates a certain amino acid (hence, it is a triplet code).
