Since Watson and Crick described DNA in 1953, which of the following might best explain why the function of small RNAs is still

being explained?
a. As RNAs have evolved since that time, they have taken on new functions.
b. Watson and Crick described DNA but did not predict any function for RNA.
c. The functions of small RNAs could not be approached until the entire human genome was sequenced.
d. Ethical considerations prevented scientists from exploring this material until recently.
e. Changes in technology, as well as our ability to determine how much of the DNA is expressed, have now made this possible.

Answer:

The answer is E

Explanation:

Work has been done on the functions of RNA over the years involving a group of scientists and their teams.

These scientists include Brenner, Crick, Meselson, as well as Watson.

There were limitations to establishing the functions of RNA, one of which access to  more primitive techniques, machines and equipment stands out.

This limited the amount of knowledge scientists had access to about RNA but as time went by , the function of RNA was established to be linked to DNA.

Better technology provided better techniques to determine how much DNA is expressed and how much RNA functions in translating and transcribing the information carried in DNA which in turn, provides a template for the functions of the RNA present in cells.

lara [203]

Answer:

The correct option is H) these acids change the environment.

Explanation:

Soil can be described as the part of the environment where plants grow. In primary succession, life stars arising in an area which has no soil and only rocks, This is possible because lichens are the organisms which can grow on the rocks. Lichens secrete certain acids which break down these rocks and hence soil begins to form when these rocks break. This makes it possible for other plant species to grow on these lands.

During a pertussis infection, the pathogenic bacterium Bordatella pertussis produces tracheal cytotoxin, which destroys cilia. W
fiasKO [112]

Mucus would most likely accumulate in the respiratory tract as a result of ciliary destruction.

Pertussis (whooping cough) is a highly contagious respiratory tract infection. A severe hacking cough is followed by the a high-pitched breath intake that sounds like "whoop" in many people. Before the vaccine, whooping cough was thought to be a childhood disease. Whooping cough now primarily affects children who have not received the full course of vaccinations, as well as teenagers and adults whose immunity has waned.

Deaths from whooping cough are uncommon, but most commonly occur in infants. That is why it is critical for pregnant women and others who will have close contact with an infant to be immunized against whooping cough. The best way to avoid pertussis is to get vaccinated. Check that you and your loved ones have received their pertussis vaccines.

1) B
    (I'm not so sure of this one) All of the other options have a steady impact on population regardless of the density of organisms except competition

2) D
    Increased carbon dioxide levels would not hinder plant growth, and tsunamis aren't really linked to carbon dioxide levels. Increased carbon dioxide is unlikely to lower the air temperature so only D is left.

3) A

4) Three properties of water that allow it to sustain life are that it is adhesive, it is a good solvent, and cohesion. Adhesion is important in situations such as water travelling up xylem tubes in plants so that the water is not pulled down by gravity and can reach parts of the plant that need water. Cohesion allows the water being pulled up the xylem to stay together and for water molecules to be pulled when a neighbouring one is moved. Water being a good solvent allows inorganic minerals to be taken with water through vascular tissue, such as in the previous example.

Geologists, more specifically mineralogists, identify minerals based on ________. A. Optical properties. B. Solid properties. C.
Shkiper50 [21]

The minerals are mostly characterized by the <u>Physical</u><u> </u><u>properties</u><u> </u><u>(</u><u>D</u><u>)</u> which includes the hardness, lustre, density etc. The mineralogists check the detailed view of minerals by using high powered microscope.

The minerals are chemical compounds which are formed as a result of physical processes or geological processes. They mostly occur in crystalline form. <u>For Example:</u> Cacite, Sulfur, Quartz etc.
