Because double bonds cause the hydrocarbon chain to bend. Therefore, the fatty acids cannot compact tightly together, reducing the van der Waals interaction between the fatty acids. The melting point of fatty acids is also affected by chain length. The longer the hydrocarbon chain is, the higher the melting point.

Animals like sea turtles and dolphins would be found in the neritic zone.<br> T or F

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

T ~ True

Explanation:

The neritic zone is the region of shallow water (200 meters depth) above the continental shelf where light penetrates to the sea floor. Due to the abundant supply of sunlight and nutrients in this zone, it is the most productive ocean zone supporting the vast majority of marine life. As a result, many organisms that require light for photosynthesis can live in this zone, including seaweeds and phytoplankton. Most coral reefs are also found in the neritic zone. ... Swimming organisms in the pelagic zone include dolphins, whales, squid, and numerous species of fish adapted to life at different depths.

If a mutation in UASg prevents Gal4 from binding, a possible consequence is:

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

Option B.

Transcription will be silenced.

Explanation:

Gal4 is a transcription factor that regulate gene expression in a positive way. It is a year protein that regulates gene induced by galactose. It lies upstream of the activating sequence and activate them. It binds to 17 basepair sites of the upstream activating sequence(UAS). If USAg prevents Gal4 from binding, transcription will be silenced.
