Answer

Option E

Explanation

Nucleotide sequence in 3s code for amino acids which further form peptide, polypeptide, and protein. But not all these nitrogenous bases actually code for protein, some of them are non-protein coding sequence (called introns) which are of course removed to make the mRNA shorter than the gene.

Genetic variation in a population increases the populations chance of survival if the environment changes . True or false
Black_prince [1.1K]

TRUE

Genetic diversity serves as a way for populations to adapt to changing environments. With more variation, it is more likely that some individuals in a population will possess variations of alleles that are suited for the environment. Those individuals are more likely to survive to produce offspring bearing that allele.

What effect might global warming have on earths inhabitants?<br> Please help!tysm ;)
Vsevolod [243]
Here are few of the things that scientists think may happen as the temperature rises. Some of them are already happening: Glaciers melting - Many glaciers are already melting and shrinking throughout the world. If the temperature increases they will continue to melt. This will cause animals that rely on glaciers such as polar bears and other species to become extinct. Ocean levels will rise - As the glaciers melt, the ocean levels will rise. This could cause flooding in cities located near the coast. Migration of animals - Animals will migrate to cooler spots as their old habitats get too warm. This could upset the food chain and put some species in danger of extinction. Extreme weather - Some scientists think that warming will fuel more powerful hurricanes as well as more droughts and flooding in different areas of the world. Change in ecosystems - cold weather biomes such as the tundra will shrink, while desserts will continue to expand. Hope this helped :)
