nucleotide length B. regulate their copy number C. control their target-site choice D. avoid transposing into their own genome

Answer:

The correct answer is B

Explanation:

Transposons need to regulate their copy number to avoid errors with chromosomal pairing during meiosis and mitosis such as unequal crossover.

A typical example of this error is called the Alu Sequence or Elements. Alu elements contain more than one million copies found everywhere in the genome of human beings.

Many inherited human diseases such as cancer are related to Alu insertions.

Cheers!

Directions: List 5 examples for each type of change to matter.
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

Physical Change:

- Boiling water

- Breaking a pencil

- Water evaporating

- Denting a car door in an accident

- Tearing paper

- Ice melting

- dissolving

Chemical Change:

- Something rusting

- photosynthesis

- metabolism/digestion

- Nuclear power [atoms are arranged differently]

- Smashing paper with two metal balls, burns paper

- Electricity in water, breaks H2O into H2 and O2

-----

physical change is when there is only physical change occurring--and it can typically be undone easily,

whereas chemical change is when there is chemical change--which changes the chemical properties of something, which cannot be undone simply.

hope this helps!!

Which of the following is not a main part of the life cycle
Ghella [55]

All of these are not part of the life cycle. It's man-made. Think of it in biology terms - something that's created genetically.

What characteristic of water causes water to stick to the side of a test tube?
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

The characteristic of water that makes this liquid stick to the side of a test tube is called capillarity (Claim).

Explanation:

Water (H₂O) is a polar molecule with the ability to generate van der Waals forces, which is explained by the 4 hydrogen bonds it forms to bind to other substances. The consequence of the forces of the molecular bonds are four properties of H₂O, including surface tension, cohesion, adhesion and capillarity.

- <u>Claim</u>: The characteristic of water that makes this liquid stick to the side of a test tube is called capillarity.

- <u>Evidence</u>: Cohesion and adhesion of water are properties that come from the forces of the molecular bonds of water, and whose effect is the ability of water to wet surfaces and adhere to a tube that contains it, the latter due to capillarity. Capillarity also allows water to rise through the roots and stems of plants, through their thin vascular ducts.

- <u>Reasoning</u>: <u>cohesion</u> in water depends on the force of attraction between H₂O molecules, <u>adhesion</u> is the capacity of H₂O molecules to join other different molecules and —together with <u>surface tension</u>— make H₂O molecules close to the walls of a glass tube adhere to it, which represents capillarity.

The effect of capillarity is more evident when the test tube is of a smaller diameter, although capillarity and adhesion to its walls always exist, and to a greater degree than any other substance.
