What is the difference between a tortoise, a terrapin, and a sea turtle?

Biology
1 answer:
Alchen [17]3 years ago
6 0
The difference is mainly in the habitat they are adapted for. Sea turtles are usually completely aquatic(except to lay eggs) and they are omnivores. Tortoises are usually land-dwelling and are mostly herbivores. Terrapins are semi-aquatic. They live in swamps and near brackish waters. Half their time is on land and half of the time they are in water.

What are the "twisty columns" and "rungs" in the DNA?
kolezko [41]
The twisty columns of the double helix are phosphate and sugar(deoxyribose), which are bonded by a covalent bond. Each nucleotide consists of one of each, and also a nitrogen base. The rungs are nitrogen bases, each nucleotide has one base, and one side of the ladder bonds to the other side of the ladder through hydrogen bonding of complementary base pairs. The base pairs of DNA are A-T and C-G

What does climate change mean
RideAnS [48]
Climate change refers to significant changes in global temperature, precipitation, wind patterns and other measures of climate that occur over several decades or longer.

The seas are rising. The foods we eat and take for granted are threatened. Ocean acidification is increasing. Ecosystems are changing, and for some, that could spell the end of certain regions the way we have known them. And while some species are adapting, for others, it’s not that easy.

Evidence suggests many of these extreme climate changes are connected to rising levels of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the Earth’s atmosphere — more often than not, the result of human activities.

Climate change, therefore, is a change in the typical or average weather of a region or city. This could be a change in a region's average annual rainfall, for example. Or it could be a change in a city's average temperature for a given month or season. Climate change is also a change in Earth's overall climate.

Hope this helps you:)

Which of the following environmental conditions would be MOST likely to result in transcription of the lac
Kruka [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is B high levels of lactose and high levels of cyclic AMP.

Explanation:

Lac operon contain 3 regulatory genes and 3 structural genes.In presence of lactose the repressor molecule that is encoded by Lac I gene cannot bound to the operator region.

        Bacause the lactose interact with the repressor and change its conformation so that it cannot repress the expression of the structural genes of lac operon.

  On the other hand cyclic AMP is a positive regulator of  lac operon .The interaction of cyclic AMP with the promoter region of lac operon stimulates the binding of RNA polymerase in the promoter region to boost the expression of structural genes of lac operon such as Lac Z,Lac Y and Lac A.
