The hydrosphere is comprised of all the water on a given planet.

This includes all water on the surface, underground, and in the air, including water in its liquid, vapor, or ice forms.

On Earth, for example, some parts of the hydrosphere include water vapor in the air, water in the oceans, and groundwater in wells, along with much more.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of using RNA or protein as genetic material?
larisa86 [58]

The most important idea is that the genetic material of any organism must be able to accurately replicate itself at least every generation (or for multicellular organisms at each cell division).  

Base pairing (A-T or U and C-G)allows DNA and RNA (eg in polio virus, see Wikipedia page on RNA dependent RNA polymerase) to create a copy of themselves, when the appropriate enzymes are present. Proteins have no way of making a copy of themselves.  

Stability is probably the main reason DNA is the most common genetic material. DNA has no enzymatic activity and was probably selected for to maintain the integrity of the genetic material (rather than having to perform a function for the cell/virus, during which it may be destroyed). The double helix structure also protects its integrity, and proofreading enzymes have also evolved which correct most of the mistakes made at DNA replication. RNA viruses don't have this mechanism- which could be said to be an advantage (as they can rapidly change and therefore avoid their hosts' immune systems), however in non-parasitic organisms most mutations in a gene would lead to a loss of an essential function and the extinction of that genome.  

I don't think either of these reasons are relevant, but I think the main reasons retroviruses convert their RNA to DNA are so they can use the host cell's replication machinery (this was they do not need to encode as many genes), and secondly they need avoid the antiviral mechanisms of the cell, which would destroy any double stranded RNA molecules found (even if the virus was single stranded, dsRNA would have to be produced at replication).

which of the following best describes why invertebrates isn't considered a scientifically valid word when classifying animals​
Nutka1998 [239]
Taxonomy used to have two groups of vertebrates and invertebrates. But invertebrates are far more diverse when it comes to the phylogenetic tree. Vertebrates all share same characteristic which is a back bone made of vertebrae, but invertebrates don’t share a common anatomical structure that all have; they are radically different in structure so they can’t be grouped in a single group. You have Arthropoda, which all have jointed limbs and segmented bodies and molt their cuticles. There’s Cnidaria, which most have tentacles and nematocysts and are radially symmetrical. And Mollusca, which have a muscular foot and a part of their body called a mantle. All these groups are invertebrates, but there’s nothing they share in common WITHOUT referring to the fact that they don’t have vertebrae. So basically that’s just an example why they can’t be grouped into one category; they all have different characteristics and are placed in different areas of the animal kingdom’s phylogenetic tree. Hope this helps
