Kisachek [45]3 years ago
7 0

The carbohydrates found in our genetic material are the two sugars deoxyribose and ribose.

Carbohydrates are defined as organic compounds which occur in food and living tissue and include starch, sugars and cellulose. They are composed of hydrogen, oxygen and carbon.

Deoxyribose is a sugar found in the structure of DNA, while the sugar ribose is found in the structure of RNA.

DNA is the molecule that carries the cell's genetic information while RNA is the molecule involved in synthesis of protein using the coded information received from DNA.

Both DNA and RNA are termed as the genetic molecules of life.

Nikolay [14]
The lymphatic trunk trains the lymph fluid into two lymph ducts: The thoracic lymph duct and the right lymphatic duct. 

The thoracic lymph duct takes the lymph from the lower left halves of the body. It is the largest lymph vessel. It carries the lymph and chyle (emulsified fatty acids) back into the bloodstream. It drains lymph  into the circulatory system via the left brachiocephalic vein. 

The right lymphatic duct on the other hand gets lymph from the right and upper halves of the body. It drains lymph from the right upper limbs, right part of the thorax and the right half of the head and neck.

kherson [118]

Answer:

No information can be inferred

Explanation:

Chromosome number provides no reference for establishing any relationship between organisms. The number of chromosome cannot depict whether a living species belong to plant kingdom or animal kingdom. It cannot even depict the evolutionary history of any species. Thus, the organism with lesser chromosome has not necessarily evolved from the species having larger number of chromosome or vice versa.  

Chromosome number can only depict the quantity of genetic material with in an organism and hence no relationship can be established living species only on the basis of chromosome number.

Negative feedback
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

b. Works within an upper and lower range

c. " Is regulatory. "

d. Is very common in biological systems

Explanation:

Negative feedback is the regulatory mechanism that maintains homeostasis by counteracting the deviation. Any change serves as a stimulus and a response is produced to reverse the change. Negative feedback is a very common regulatory mechanism to maintain internal body conditions within a narrow range.

For example, the body temperature in adults is maintained within the narrow range of around 36 -37 degrees Celsius. An increase or decrease in the body temperature from the set point is counteracted to restore the set point. An increase in body temperature is reversed by the vasodilation of blood capillaries of skin layers to lose the heat to the surroundings. On the other hand, reduced body temperature below the set point is restored by constriction of capillaries of skin layers.
