Assume that you have chosen to research a topic for your biology class and you have become interested in studying the abuse of p

erformance-enhancing drugs by male athletes. The first thing you learn is that many athletes use anabolic-androgenic steroid hormones. Males produce one called testosterone, and an appropriate physiological concentration of testosterone keeps the production of sperm at nearly constant levels. You also learn that a consequence of injection of testosterone is suppression of sperm production. Why do you suppose this is true?
a. Excess testosterone inhibits the activity of LH and FSH, neither of which is needed for sperm production.
b. The excess testosterone can feed back and inhibit certain steps in spermatogenesis, resulting in lowered sperm counts.
c. Excess testosterone initiates the formation of diploid sperm.
d. Excess testosterone causes the release of more GnRH.

How could an error during transcription affect the protein that is produced?
Ahat [919]

Answer: An error during transcription could produce a shorter protein or induce changes in the protein's sequence.

Explanation: Transcription is the process of single-stranded RNA synthesis from a DNA template (gene). During this process, RNA polymerase reads the DNA template and synthetize RNA, keeping the sequence. The RNA sequence will be reading later by ribosomes and protein will be produced. An error in transcription could produce changes in codons that are sequences of 3 nucleotides that determine  aminoacids of the protein, and that would change protein folding and inactive it. Another possible result would be that  error in transcription produce a premature stop codon that cause a shorter inactive protein.

Is there stored energy in a candle?
Mariana [72]

Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

The burning candle is converting chemical energy—stored in the hydrocarbon bonds in the wax—into thermal (heat) and radiant (light) energy. The energy transforms from chemical energy to heat and light energy. Because when the candle burns a chemical reaction occurs, and produces heat and light
