A cousin who has been traveling overseas sneaks a plant through customs (who help along with the USDA, help to prevent invasive

species) wants to plant this plant in their backyard. What would you say to them to discourage them from doing so? Please facts and scientific reasoning to convince them not to and to destroy the plant.

Answer and Explanation:

Invasive species are not native to an ecosystem/environment to which they've been introduced, which can cause disastrous disruptions to various food chains/webs and other native species' populations.

In this case, your cousin is bringing in a plant from overseas, so it clearly will be an invasive plant. You can tell them the following:

- this plant may take over the feeding source of native plants, causing those populations to decrease drastically or possibly even be wiped out

- secondary consumers that had once relied on those native plants for food energy will now have limited resources, competition will increase, and these consumers may begin to die off

- tertiary consumers that consumed these secondary consumers will begin to die off, as well

- this chain reaction will ripple through the entire food chain and food web, and totally disrupt the existing ecosystem

Thus, your cousin shouldn't plant this organism in their backyard and should instead destroy it.

Part A: A scientist examines a fruit fly gene involved with the regulation of body development. A section of the DNA sequence fo
Leokris [45]

Answer:

Part A: Thr-Leu-Val

Part B: ACC-UUG-GUU

Explanation:

When you transcribe a DNA sequence to mRNA, you need to remember that in RNA there is no Thymine (T), instead it has Uracil (U). So the base pairings would be like this compared to DNA base pairing:

DNA                RNA

A-T                  A-U

T-A                  T-A

C-G                 G-C

G-C                 C-G

Given the sequence the transcription will be as follows:

DNA :   TGG - AAC - CAA  

mRNA: ACC - UUG - GUU

Next, to translate it into amino acids, you will use the chart. Now amino acids pair in codons (3 base pairs at a time).  Let's take the first codon in your sequence:

ACC

1st  2nd   3rd

 A     C       C

Using the column on the left, find the row that matches it, so in this case A.

At the very top, there is another row of letters, looking at the row of A only, look for the column of the second base which is C.

Lastly, look at the right most column and find the letter that matches the third base within the box where A and C intersect. In this case, C is your third base.

The amino acid where all three intersect is your first amino acid which is Thr.

Just do this for the next codons and you will come up with the answer.

Which of the following is a necessary reactant for cellular respiration to occur?
IrinaVladis [17]
I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is the third option. It is oxygen that is a necessary reactant for cellular respiration to occur. Cellular respiration, in a sense, is breaking down sugar in the presence of oxygen.  Hope this answers the question.
