Answer:

D- Nucleic Acids

Explanation:

Blood clotting is a process whereby a person's blood coagulates due to the formation of a white fibrous protein substance called FIBRIN. The essence of blood clotting is to prevent excessive flow/waste of blood when a blood vessel is wounded.

However, certain substances are needed for this process of blood clotting to occur in our body. Some individuals lack this substances and hence bleed continuously during injury, a condition known as HEMORRHAGE. The substances such as FIBRIN, a protein needed for blood clotting is encoded by GENES which makes up DNA (a type of nucleic acid).

Therefore, NUCLEIC ACID biomolecules determines a person's ability to clot blood properly because nucleic acids make up DNA, which contains segments (genes) that encode the synthesis of proteins (fibrin) needed for blood clotting to occur. Hence, it all boils down to NUCLEIC ACIDS.

Which structure is thick to protect some of the reproductive structures in flowers?

marin [14]

Answer:

C. Sepal

Explanation:

The flower of a plant is the reproductive structure of that plant where all reproductive activities of the plant takes place. However, some structures in the flower performs respective duties to aid this reproduction process. One of those structures or parts of a flower is the SEPAL

The sepal is a usually green external part of a flower that functions to protect some of the other reproductive structures in flowers e.g petals, due to its thick epidermis. Note that, the collection of sepals in a flower is called CALYX

A gene includes the sequence AGAACT. When it is transcribed, what will the RNA sequence be? A. UCUUGA B. UGCCGU C. UCUUTC D. TCT

Margaret [11]

Answer:

Explanation:

The correct option would be A.

<em>According to the base-pairing rule, Adenine (A) always pairs with Thymine (T) (or Uracil in the case of RNA) while Guanine (G) always pairs with Cytosine (C).</em>

Hence;

A-U

G-C

A-U

C-G

T-A

Therefore, AGAACT would be transcribed to UCUUGA.

How many molecules of eDNA would result from one molecule after three cycles of PCR

Nady [450]

8 molecules would result, since 2^3 = 8. Each time PCR is performed, the orginal number of molcules double.
