The fossils of a new species of reptile are found in deposits dating to the Permian period. Later, scients discover that fossils
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

The correct answer is option c. "adaptive radiation".

Explanation:

The term "adaptive radiation" is used in evolutionary biology to describe a evolutionary history at which many different organisms are created as a result of a rapid diversification of an ancestral species. This phenomenon takes place as a result of changes in the environmental conditions that forces new species to adapt quickly. The scientist observations of many intermediate forms at different continents of an ancestral reptile, most strongly support the evolutionary model of adaptive radiation.

Botulinum toxin is produced by Clostridium botulinum, a gram-negative bacterium. The toxin actually consists of 7 related toxins
Bess [88]

Answer:

A. Botulinum toxin possesses a heavy chain and a light chain, each of which takes part in the toxicity. The binding of the protein and its invasion within a nerve cell is permitted by the heavy chain. After the entry is permitted, the light chain functions like a protease and chops proteins, which would usually permit neurotransmitters to discharge out from the cell. This is basically a commotion of exocytosis or the discharging of neurotransmitters.  

The acetylcholine, that is, the obstructed neurotransmitter generally conducts a nerve impulse to a muscle, allowing the muscle to contract. By inhibiting the neurotransmitter, the botulinum toxin results in its distinctive flaccid paralysis.  

B. The small doses of the sterile, purified botulinum toxin when used in a medical setting as an injectable form prevent the release of a chemical known as acetylcholine by the nerve cells, which signal contraction of the muscles. By selectively interfering with the underlying tendency of the muscles to contract, the prevailing frown lines are smoothed out, and in the majority of the cases are almost invisible for a week.

Which occurs during translation? A.mRNA is created by using a DNA template. B.mRNA codons are joined by tRNA anticodons to assem
Svetach [21]
<span>The answer is B.mRNA codons are joined by tRNA anticodons to assemble amino acids to form a protein. According to the central dogma of molecular biology, DNA sequence specifies RNA sequence which specifies protein sequence. DNA sequence is first copied into mRNA sequence during transcription. Later, during translation, mRNA codons are joined by tRNA anticodons to assemble amino acids to form a protein</span>
