How do you use a dichotomous key to discover the scientific name of an organism

You start by answering the first question on the list which tells you what to do from there. Pretend your animal was a bird, you might have a key like this:

Does this animal have wings?
yes                   go to question 2
no                    go to question 6

Then you just continue until the list doesn't say to do anything else. i.e.:

Is the animal feathered?
yes                  bird
no                    go to question 4

Explain how the triplet code of dna is transcribed and translated in the synthesis of proteins
timama [110]
Ok this is going to be a long answer lol


Translation is the process by which a protein is synthesized from the information contained in a molecule of messenger RNA (mRNA). During translation, an mRNA sequence is read using the genetic code, which is a set of rules that defines how an mRNA sequence is to be translated into the 20-letter code of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins.



During transcription, the DNA of a gene serves as a template for complementary base-pairing, and an enzyme called RNA polymerase II catalyzes the formation of a pre-mRNA molecule, which is then processed to form mature mRNA

I hope this helps :)

Explain how these tail lengths were inherited by describing the mode of inheritance, indicating how many gene pairs were at work
emmainna [20.7K]

Here we can see that 7 phenotypes appeared in F2 generation, so the number of genes involved is 3 and alleles is 6. Contribution per allele = 4 cm Base contribution = 6 cm

Genotype of Harvey = aa bb cc Genotype of Erma = AA BB CC

Number of dominant alleles if length is

18 cm = 18-6 / 4 = 12 / 4 = 3.

F1 generation genotype = Aa Bb Cc This clarifies why the length is 18 cm, as there are three dominant alleles.

seven 1. It is likely that there are gene pairs in this cross. There are

categories of phenotypes. The genotypes of the parents would be combinations of alleles that would produce a 6 cm ( aabbcc ) tail and a 30 cm) tail, whereas the 18 cm offspring would have a genotype of AaBbcc.

which protist exhibits both animal-like and plant-like characteristics?a protist that has pseudopods and swims by using ciliaa p
Ad libitum [116K]
I guess it is euglena because, i<span>t's a plant like protist, it contains chlorophyll and carries out photosynthesis. The eyespots function as a light shield which allows light from a certain direction to strike the light detector.
it doesn' have a cell wall because it is "plant-like," not a plant, 
it has a pellicle that provides strength and flexibility since it lacks a cell wall</span>
