Answer & explanation:

Fungi have long been regarded as organisms that were part of the <em>Plantae</em> kingdom (plants), mainly because they have cell walls in their cells, reproduce by spores, and the fact that some of them are sessile (attached to the ground).

However, fungi are no longer considered as plants because they do not have chlorophyll or specialized cells, such as chloroplasts and vacuoles. In addition, fungi have heterotrophic nutrition (plants are autotrophic), needing to absorb organic substances to survive.

Nowadays, fungi are studied in isolation and are inserted in their own kingdom, the <em>Fungi</em> kingdom.

Seismic waves are elastic waves that spreads out concentrically in all directions from their source.

  • Both S and P waves are body waves that moves within the earth.
  • In a seismic station, the p-waves or primary waves arrives first before the s-waves or secondary waves.
  • At any point equidistant from the epicenter, baring any geologic differences in the subsurface, the waves would be exactly the same at all points.

Describe the relationship between chromosomes, messenger RNA, and proteins.
Tresset [83]

A chromosome is a packaged and organized structure containing most of the DNA of a living organism.  Messenger RNA  is a large family of RNA molecules that convey genetic information from DNA to the ribosome, where they specify the amino acid sequence of the protein products of gene expression.  Proteins are large biomolecules, or macromolecules, consisting of one or more long chains of amino acid residues.
