Answer:

Most large biological molecules are polymers, long chains made up of repeating molecular subunits, or building blocks, called monomers. ... Carbohydrates, nucleic acids, and proteins are often found as long polymers in nature.

Amino acids. These class of compounds are considered the building blocks of most organisms, and around 500 of these are known and indentified. All proteins, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids are polymers ("many units") and each unit is an amino acid.

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

The correct answer is "run-on sentence".

Explanation:

Run-out sentence is a sentence-construction error that occurs when two or more than two independent sentences are not properly connected. In the example, the independent sentences "a phone rang in the concert hall" and "the orchestra stopped playing" were not properly connected, because no connector was used between them. Therefore, the question states an example of a run-out sentence.

Given our understanding of genetics, we can confirm that the gene in question is of the homeotic type.

In biology, we refer to a gene as the most basic unit of genetic information.
It is a segment of DNA that encodes for a certain trait that <u>may or may not be expressed.</u>
A gene carries the information for a specific trait, for example:

1) Eye color

2) Body organization

3) Height

<h3 /><h3 /><h3>What does it mean for a gene to be homeotic?</h3>

In the case of this question, the gene in question is a homeotic gene.
Homeotic genes are those that are in charge of the organization of the organism's body.
These genes control the <u>general pattern of the body</u>, such as where the arms and legs will be, and so on.

Therefore, given the definition of a homeotic gene, we can confirm that this is the type that best fits the description of the mutation in the question since it affected the formation and normal organization of the body.

Suppose that a farmer wishes to start a you‑pick berry farm, where customers pick their own fruit from the berry bushes. In this

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

The genotypes of the two original plants the farmer has are as follows:

Plant 1: ss,TT,Aa and Plant 2: Ss,tt,aa.

Explanation:

A genotype is literally the underlying makeup that will produce a result that is visible and measurable, that we know as phenotype. In this particular case, we have a farmer who wishes to establish his farm with a specific type of plant: one that is tall, thornless, and has terminal flowers because they are the best for berry-picking, and that is the business he wishes to establish.

In order to be able to obtain this type of plant, he needs to first count with a starting point, the parent plants from which he will be able to produce the line he wants to establish. But to do that he needs to first know the genetic makeup with which, when he crosses the plants, he will then obtain the phenotypical results he seeks.

The question itself tells us the types of alleles (which are, in simple terms, the holders of the genetic information), that produce the phenotypical characteristics of the plants the farmer has. So we know that there is one type of bush that is tall, thornless and has terminal flowers, and its alleles are s, t and a. The other bush has short, thorned and axial characteristics, and therefore its alleles are: S, T and A.

When the question then gives us the information about the resulting plants when the originals are selfed, and their characteristics, we are able to tell the genetic makeup, or genotype, of the original two plants the farmer has because we can combine the alleles mentioned given the characteristics (phenotypes) and thus obtain the two parent plants.

Which tectonic plate boundary caused the structure that is circled in the image?

pochemuha

Answer:

I'm guesssing it's B? I did this a very long time ago( two weeks ago)

Explanation:

Most divergent plate boundaries are underwater and form submarine mountain ranges called oceanic spreading ridges. While the process of forming these mountain ranges is volcanic, volcanoes and earthquakes along oceanic spreading ridges are not as violent as they are at convergent plate boundaries.
