Answer:
Any of a group of submicroscopic entities consisting of a single nucleic acid chain surrounded by a protein coat and capable of replication only within the cells of living organisms: many are pathogenic
Answer;
-Carbon-14 decays into nitrogen-14.
-Once a living thing dies, it no longer takes in carbon.
-Carbon-14 dating works for fossils as old as 50,000 years.
Explanation;
-Geologists do not use carbon-based radiometric dating to determine the age of rocks. Carbon dating only works for objects that are younger than about 50,000 years, and most rocks of interest are older than that.
-Carbon dating is used by archaeologists to date trees, plants, and animal remains; as well as human artifacts made from wood and leather; because these items are generally younger than 50,000 years.
-Carbon-14 has a half life of 5730 years, meaning that 5730 years after an organism dies, half of its carbon-14 atoms have decayed to nitrogen atoms.
Answer:
A single nucleotide changes in CCG which will result in missense mutation can be many possibilities.
Explanation:
Missense mutations
CCG codes for Proline amino acid
• Mutation in first nucleotide codes for
UCG specifically encodes Serine
ACG specifically encodes Threonine
GCG specifically encodes Alanine
Missense mutation
• Mutation in second nucleotide specify for coding
CUG specifically encodes Leucine
CAG specifically encodes Glutamine
CGG specifically encodes Arginine
• Mutation in Third Nucleotide will not result in missense mutation because any point mutation in third nucleotide of codon will encode same amino acid i.e Proline.
Answer:
<u>Both of these are necessary to maintain overpopulation of any species in an ecosystem.</u>
Explanation:
- Predation is an act in which one organism eats another organism present in the ecosystem.
- The one eaten is called prey, while the dominant organism is called Predator.
- Since an ecosystem is made up of many organisms along with the natural resources present in it.
- This gives rise to different species competing against one another.
- If one of these species is at a certain advantage, their population will rise uncontrollably hence to prevent this a predator plays a major role.
- On the other hand, competition is a term which describes the harm caused to two different organisms.
- This is due to the limited number of natural resources like food, water or shelter etc.
- Organisms who are less likely to adapt according to the changing environment ultimately die.
- For example, Plant roots over time lessen the amount of nitrogen present in the soil, causing the neighboring plant to die.
