<h2>Answer:</h2>

The compound is tripropylene glycol .

Monomers of C9H20O4 =  propylene glycol

<h3>Explain:</h3>

Tripropylene glycol is formed by the condensation of 3 monomers with the lose of 2 molecules of water.

The breakdown of  tripropylene glycol:

             C9H20O4 + 2H2O → C3H8O2 + C3H8O2 + C3H8O2

Belonging to the large family of alcohols, propylene glycol is a chemical element widely used by the food industry thanks to its recognized emulsifying properties. It is referable to its acronym E1520. This colorless, low volatile and soluble diol is also used in many other industries. Pharmaceutical, cosmetic, aeronautic, textile industries ... Propylene glycol is involved in the composition of many polymers such as polyester. Non-toxic when inhaled, propylene glycol is used in electronic cigarette filling fluid to produce an aerosol effect comparable to that of smoke.

With respect to polypropylene glycol, each condensation of propylene glycol causes a loss of a water molecule

C3H8O2 + C3H8O2 + C3H8O2 ==> C9H20O4 + 2H2O

bulgar [2K]

Answer:

Inbreeding leaves animals susceptible to genetic disease, and populations to reduced fitness. This family of three would not be able to sustain a population given their a) group dynamics and b) genetic variation

Explanation:

In small populations, the variation in genetic material is likely to be low. The consequence of this is that there is increased homozygosity. That means less members of the population carry two different alleles of a gene for any given trait. This increases the chance of the appearance of recessive traits, which could be disease causing or otherwise reduce fitness.

With only three related individuals left, the chances of generating a new and thriving population with the limited genetic material is almost non existent, especially considering the animals are a male, female and their pup

levacccp [35]

Answer:

C) binding to mRNAs and degrading them or blocking their translation

Explanation:

<u>miRNAs:</u>

miRNAs is the abbreviation of MicroRNAs. These are the small noncoding RNAs of ∼22 nucleotides which can not code for peptides. miRNAs are responsible for gene expression regulation at the level of post transcription. They can do so by forming complementary base pairing with target mRNA and inhibiting their translation.

They silenced mRNA by the following processes:

(1) Cleavage of the mRNA strand into pieces,

(2) stopping mRNA from translation into proteins by ribosomes.

(3) Shortening of mRNA poly(A) tail and destabilizing it.
