Answer:

D. Lichen will colonize the bare rock

Explanation:

When a glacier recedes and exposes the bare rock, it is likely that the lichen will colonize that rock.

Lichens have a wide distribution and inhabit the most different regions. Usually, lichens are pioneer organisms in a place, as they survive in places of great ecological stress (locals of extreme cold, for example). They can live in places such as rock surfaces, leaves, soil, tree trunks, alpine peaks, etc.

The lichen's ability to live in places of high ecological stress is due to its high drying capacity. When a lichen dries out, photosynthesis is interrupted and it does not suffer from high lighting, water scarcity or high temperatures. Because of this drop in photosynthesis, lichens have a low growth rate.

Single strands of nucleic acids are directional, meaning that there are two different ends. What functional groups define the tw
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

The functional groups that define the two different ends of a single strand of nucleic acids are:

B. a free hydroxyl group on the 5' carbon a free hydroxyl group on the 3' carbon

G. a free phosphate group on the 5' carbon

Explanation:

A nucleic acid is a polymer formed of nucleotides that are linked with a phosphodiester bond. The structure of a nucleotide consists on a phosphate group linked to a pentose (ribose in RNA and deoxyribose in DNA) that is also attached to a nitrogenous base. The nitrogenous bases are adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine (in DNA) and uracil (in RNA).

DNA and RNA are nucleic acids which can be found in a double or single strand presentation.

Nucleic acids are synthesize in the 5’ to 3’ direction, so that is why the convention is that the sequences are written and read in that direction.

The strand of a nucleic acid is directional with an end-to-end orientation, where the 5’ end has a free hydroxyl or phosphate group on the 5' carbon of the terminal pentose, and the 3’ end has a free hydroxyl group on the 3’ carbon on the terminal pentose (ribose/ deoxyribose).

I don’t understand this can someone please help me fast, this is due soon pleaseee.
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

The correct answer is - 30.25%

Explanation:

Allele frequency in a population is the number of a particular allele in the population divided by the total number of all alleles present in the population for the particular gene.

The population has the allele frequency or q = 0 .55

So, the percentage of the white spots moth in this moth population would be -

q^2 = (0.55)^2

q^2 = 0.3025

q^2 = 0.0325 *100

= 30.25 %
