Answer:

DNA is a double-stranded molecule but only one strand act as the template for RNA polymerase to synthesize mRNA. The template strand is also called non-coding strand and another strand is called the coding strand.  

The coding strands are in 5'to 3' direction and the non-coding strand is in 3' to 5' direction. So the template strand is read in 3' to 5' direction by RNA polymerase and mRNA is formed in 5' to 3' direction.

The sequence of nucleotide on mRNA are called codons and three codon are responsible for coding one amino acid.

What is plant "blinking"? Why do plants do this?
Likurg_2 [28]

BLINK protein speeds up stomatal movements in response to light fluctuations resulting in improved plant growth and water use.

Plants can't move, so their “blinking” helps protect them from burning or bleaching when they are in bright sun.

I'm not sure if the first part is right, but I do know the second part is.

Which of the following is most consistent with the modern theory of evolution​
Alecsey [184]

The correct answer is Parents pass their physical traits to their offspring; those offspring with traits that help them survive in their environment are able to reproduce.

Explanation:

The modern theory of evolution explains the mechanisms that make organisms change. One of the main ideas this theory proposes is that organisms with traits that help them survive or reproduce have higher chances to pass their genes and traits to new generations. This mechanism makes certain traits to be favored and contributes to the evolution of organisms because after multiple generations certain traits will prevail while others will be eliminated.

Moreover, this theory specifies genes in an organism are not acquired or modified during its life but these are the results of the traits passed to the organism by its parents and evolution occurs only after a long time or multiple generations. According to this, the first option is the correct one.
