The melanin gene would turned on more in the summer months because of its function, as it protects us from UV light damage caused by the sun. Summer is the most sunny season of the year so the melanin gene need to 'work' more than usually to protect us. When the sun shines on our skin, it destroys the melanin as well but since our skin is alive, it can respond to the sun's damage by making more melanin.So this means that it would be more turned on. Hope this helps

Grasslands typically do not flourish when large herbivores are removed. In fact, they are soon replaced by broad-leaved herbaceo
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

Grasslands and herbivores have a mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship. If larger herbivores such as Kangaroos and Elephants are removed from them, they may become extant.

Explanation:

Herbivores are always hungry and they are always looking for ways to replenish lost energy. Between tree shoots and grass, they often go for the former because they are tender, easier to reach, and less difficult to masticate than the young tree shrubs.

When baby trees become bigger, their shade prevents adequate sunlight from reaching the grass, then gradually they become scanty or subdued for as long as the shade remains.

When large herbivores are removed or leave a grassland, trees have the ability to flourish. Then the results indicated above happens.

Cheers!

What is the difference between rRNA, tRNA, mRNA and codon,anticodon
Eddi Din [679]
MRNA, is used to transcript DNA codes from DNA molecules and then later exits the nucleus via nuclear pore, then moves to the ribosome. Then, tRNA is activated to bring specific amino acid to the ribosome for translation. Ribosome, which is the site of synthesis of proteins, is composed of rRNA and ribosomal proteins.
A codon is a three-base sequence (three nitrogen bases in a row) on mRNA. An anticodon is a three-base sequence on tRNA. It matches the codon.

Compare the similarities and differences between the three domains of life
nekit [7.7K]
<span>Similarities and Differences
     There are many similarities and differences between the three domains. Bacteria and Archaea differ in how they gain energy. Bacteria gain energy either by being phototrophs, lithotrophs or organotrophs. One similarity between domain Archaea and domain Bacteria is that they both contain only prokaryotes while domain Eukarya only contains eukaryotes. Domain Archaea is the only domain that is sensitive to antibiotics. Another similarity between domain Bacteria and domain Eukarya is that Methionine is the first amino acid seen during protein synthesis while in domain Archaea, the first amino acid is Formylmethionine. The last major similarity between domain Archaea and domain Bacteria is that they do not contain any organelles while domain Eukarya does. A difference between all three domains is what their cell walls contain. A cell wall in domain Archaea has peptidoglycan. The organisms that have a cell wall in domain Eukarya, will have a cell wall made up of polysaccharides.</span>
