How do animals obtain the nitrogen they use to make proteins and nucleic acids?
kogti [31]
I think it would be A. Because plants have bacteria on their roots that take the free nitrogen in the air from the soil and turn it into usable nitrogen. Animals could get usable nitrogen from eating plants since they have bacteria that make it. Then if an animal eats an animal that ate the plant, then it could get that nitrogen. But i am not completely sure though. I just learned this recently. I hope this helped :)

Suppose 64 percent of people living in a remote, isolated mountain village can taste phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) and must, therefo
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

The percentage of the population that is heterozygous for this trait is 48%

Explanation:

They are two alleles, the phenylthiocarbamide tasters (PTC) and the non phenylthiocarbamide tasters (non PTC). PTC testers are dominant and non PTC tasters are recessive.

let the frequency of the dominant allele(A) be p

and the frequency of the recessive allele(a) be q

We are told that 64 percent of people living in a remote, isolated mountain village can taste phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) and must, therefore, have at least one copy of the dominant PTC taster allele (that is AA and Aa)

Frequency of AA = p², Frequency of Aa = 2pq and Frequency of aa = q²

Therefore p² + 2pq = 64% = 0.64

According to Hardy–Weinberg:

p² + 2pq + q² = 1 and

p + q = 1

Since p² + 2pq = 0.64

∴ 0.64 + q² = 1

q² = 1 - 0.64 = 0.36

q = √0.36 = 0.6

Since p + q = 1

p = 1 - q = 1 - 0.6 = 0.4

The frequency of heterozygous = 2pq = 2 × 0.4 × 0.6 = 0.48

Therefore the percentage of the population that is heterozygous for this trait is 48%

Coral reefs are at risk due to... (choose all that are correct)
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

The answer is the dropping pH of the ocean

Explanation:

The ocean absorbs tons of carbon dioxide (Co2) from the atmosphere which changes the chemistry of the water. The ocean is naturally Alkaline but, as the oceans absorb Co2 it turns into carbolic acid. This doesn't make the ocean's immediately acidic but it is causing them to be gradually less alkaline. Since the direction of change is near the acid end of the scale, the process is known as ocean acidification. The coral reefs need the alkaline environment and can feel when the environment changes and when the ocean becomes to acidic for them it kills off the coral.

____________ is the preservation of all cellular and structural elements in as nearly the natural living condition as possible.
andriy [413]

Answer:

Cryopreservation

Plant Vitrification Solution 2 (PVS2)  and  Plant Vitrification Solution 3 (PVS3)

Explanation:

Cryo-preservation or cryo-conservation is defined as the process of preservation of all cellular and structural elements such as cells, organelles, tissues, organs, or any other biological constructs by cooling to very low temperatures.

Two commonly used solutions in plants for this purpose are Plant Vitrification Solution 2 (PVS2)  and  Plant Vitrification Solution 3 (PVS3). Plant Vitrification Solution 2 (PVS2) is consists of, w/v, 0.4 M sucrose, 30% glycerol, 15% DMSO and  15% ethylene glycol and Plant Vitrification Solution 3 (PVS3) comprising, w/v, 50% sucrose and 50% glycerol.

Hence, the correct answer is "Cryopreservation

Plant Vitrification Solution 2 (PVS2)  and  Plant Vitrification Solution 3 (PVS3) "
