Ans.

In some organisms, such as crocodiles, lizards, and turtles, gender determination is affected by temperature. In turtles, the eggs become female when the temperature is higher, while eggs become male when temperature is less than that of required by female development.

Thus, to hypothesizes that the gender determination in turtles is affected by temperature, 'the scientist should expose different groups of turtles to different sets of temperatures in a laboratory.'

Explanation:

Understanding diseases

Knowledge about the nucleic acids and their mechanism of action helps in understanding the causes of a disease and the possible cure for the disease. A genetic disease is caused when there is a faulty gene, which is made up of nucleic acids, is present in the genome. These genes will make faulty RNA's which will result in the establishment of faulty proteins. Hence, by having understanding about nucleic acids, diseases can be studies and cured.

Creation of proteins

The information from the DNA is coded by the mRNA which is used to make proteins.

Transmission of information

Apart from storing information, the nucleic acids such as the DNA are also involved in the transmission of information.

sattari [20]

Answer:

At the 5th trophic level would be quaternary consumers that eat tertiary consumers.

Explanation:

Producers include photosynthetic organisms such as plants and algae. They are eaten by primary consumers (herbivores). Secondary consumers include omnivores and predators that prey on primary consumers. Tertiary consumers include omnivores and predators that prey on primary and secondary consumers. Quaternary consumers include omnivores and predators that prey on all lower trophic levels.
