B
Information is encoded in DNA, then copied onto RNA during transcription. Then, ribosomes convert the information carried in RNA into a protein, in the process of translation. Also, A and D could be ruled out because DNA and RNA are solely involved with proteins, but polysacchariades are chains of sugars.
Sponges are similar to other animals in that they are multicellular, heterotrophic, lack cell walls and produce sperm cells. Unlike other animals, they lack true tissues and organs, and have no body symmetry.
The shapes of their bodies are adapted for maximal efficiency of water
flow through the central cavity, where it deposits nutrients, and leaves
through a hole called the osculum. Many sponges have internal skeletons of spongin and/or spicules of calcium carbonate or silicon dioxide. All sponges are sessile
aquatic animals. Although there are freshwater species, the great
majority are marine (salt water) species, ranging from tidal zones to
depths exceeding 8,800 m (5.5 mi).
Tissue is the answer you are looking for
Answer:
The correct answer is "strengths: inexpensive, easy to culture, short life cycle, large number of offspring; weaknesses: invertebrate model, some diseases such as immunological cannot be modelled, anatomical features are very different from humans"
Explanation:
The fruit fly <em>Drosophila melanogaster</em> is one of the most used animal model for genetic and biomedical studies. There are many advantages of using Drosophila as model, including that it is very inexpensive to handle, it is easy to culture, it has a short life cycle allowing to observe the changes in phenotype very quickly and its large number of offspring allows to include several repetitions per trait in a study. However, there are some weaknesses of using Drosophila to study human biology. First, obviously the fruit fly is very different from humans, it is an invertebrate and its anatomical features are very different, which makes impossible to model some disorders such as immunological diseases.
