Most organisms use DNA as their genetic material. RNA viruses are able to use RNA instead.What molecular mechanisms allow these

Answer:

Reverse transcription

Explanation:

Some viruses such as HIV have RNA as genetic material.  In them RNA stores genetic information. These viruses are called retroviruses. They are known as retroviruses because they have the enzyme reverse transcriptase. During protein synthesis, they use RNA as a template to synthesise complimentary DNA with the help of reverse transcriptase. Thus central dogma is as follows:

RNA ⇒ DNA  ⇒   mRNA ⇒ protein  

Reverse transcription ⇒ Transcription ⇒ translation

What is the importance of having the US Forest Service, the Bureau of Land Management, the US Fish and Wildlife Service, and the
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

The importance of having the US Forest Service, the Bureau of Land Management, US Fish and Wildlife Service, and the National Park Service is to manage land resources for conservation and the development of natural resources.

Explanation:

The US Bureau of Land Management was mainly established to manage lands for different uses;

The US Forest Service was established to sustainable management of forest resources vis a vis conservation and sustainable usage;

The US Fish and Wildlife Service was established to conserve and protect wildlife/fishes with end goal being in the benefit of the populace;

The National Park Service was established to oversee all the National Park Systems and ensure that their intensities are maintained for the continuous enjoyment, entertainment as well as education of the masses.

If the main aim of establishing each body is examined closely, it would be discovered that their primary function is to manage land resources, conserve biological diversity and the environment's integrity as well as oversee the use of land and the resources it contains.

Rosa drew a diagram to compare substitution mutations and insertion mutations.
djverab [1.8K]
<h2>Hey There!</h2><h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>Answer:</h2>

\huge\boxed{Option A}

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>Mutations:</h2>

Mutations are the changes produced in the nucleotide sequence of the genome.

There are four main types of mutations

Substitution

Insertion

Deletion

Duplication.

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h3>DELETION:</h3>

A small segment of chromosome mat be missing. This condition is known as deletion.

For example, Normal chromosome has A B C D E F G. If deletion mutation occurs then mutated chromosome has A D E F G and B C got deleted.

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h3>DUPLICATION:</h3>

In this condition, a part of chromosome present in exec ess to the normal chromosome.

For example, Normal Chromosome has A B C D E F G. If duplication mutation occurs, then mutated chromosome had A B C B C D E F G and B C is duplicated.

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h3>SUBSTITUTION MUTATION:</h3>

Substitution is a type of mutation where one base pair is replaced by a different base pair.

For example, in the sequence CAAGT, if C replaces G, it is a substitution mutation.

<h3>INSERTION MUTATION:</h3>

In genetics, an insertion is the addition of one or more nucleotide base pairs into a DNA sequence.

For example, in the sequence CAAGT, if extra base G gets inserted after C, the new sequence would be CGAAGT.

<h2>_____________________________________</h2>

Both substitution and insertion mutations change the position of nucleotide thus, the type of amino acid.

ascular plants grow to incredible heights. Which of the following features could be credited for their height? a. well developed
zheka24 [161]
The answer is A. The vascular system, filled with vascular tissue, are the crucial conduits through which water and nutrients flow through plants. Without them plants are limited to being a few inches (centimeters) tall. Leaves that get sunlight have nothing to do with a plants height.
