Answer:

The correct answer will be option a and b.

Explanation:

The food is digested and absorbed in the small intestine, a long folded tube which lengths about 20 ft or 6m.  

The small intestine increases the surface area for food absorption as they have circular folding as well as the finger-like projections called villi and microvilli in the lumen of the intestine. These villi help in absorption of the nutrients from the intestine.

Thus, option a and b are the correct options.

9. Write an mRNA strand that is complementary to the DNA strand AATTGC. Circle a codon.
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

UUAACG

Explanation:

The complementary strand of the DNA strand AATTGC would be UUAACG.

The complementary nucleotide for Guanine [G] will be Cytosine [C] and applies to both DNA and RNA. But the complementary nucleotide for Adenine [A] will be Thymine [T] in DNA and Uracil [U] in RNA.

A codon is a triplet of nucleotides, so it could be any three nucleotides in the strand. Example: AAT, ATT, TTG or TGC.
