Answer:

The correct answer is -  1.57 × 10⁶ codons.  

Explanation:

Given:

No. of base pairs in E.coli DNA = 4.70 × 10⁶

we know :

1 codon = 3 DNA nucleotides

Solution:

No. of of base pairs in DNA =  No. of  nucleotides in a single strand

= 4.70 × 10⁶

It must have 1/3 this number of triplet codons

= 4.70 × 10⁶ / 3

= 1.57 × 10⁶ codons.

Thus, the correct answer is -  1.57 × 10⁶ codons.

Deforestation leads to environmental imbalance. Give reason.
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer: Well, deforestation is cutting down trees, and many arboreal animals live in those trees. So if they have no proper shelter, they would have no place for personal activities such as breeding, feeding etc. And without those important activities that they have to do everyday, the population of arboreal animals will keep on decreasing until they go extinct. Though that's not the only problem. The herbivores won't get anything to eat, hence not letting the omnivores or carnivores get their food. As you can see, deforestation can create a huge environmental imbalance.

What is the sympathetic nervous system and what are some of the effects it has on the body?
Alex Ar [27]
Heart rate is controlled by the two branches of the autonomic (involuntary) nervous system. The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS). The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) releases the hormones (catecholamines - epinephrine and norepinephrine) to accelerate the heart rate.
