Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. There are 20 of them in existence. For this item, we are to identify the number of different proteins that can be formed.
In the first position in the sequence, we can have 20 amino acids. Then, because one of which was already used for the first position, 19 amino acids can still be written in the second place. This goes on, and the number of proteins can be calculated as follow,
number of proteins = 20 x 19 x 18 x 17 x 16 x 15
number of proteins = 27,907,200
<em>ANSWER: 27, 907, 200 proteins</em>

Answer:
By studying the fossil record we can tell how long life has existed on Earth, and how different plants and animals are related to each other. Often we can work out how and where they lived, and use this information to find out about ancient environments. Fossils can tell us a lot about the past.
Explanation:
Answer:
C) The benthic invertebrates would decrease in population size because they are eaten by the sea ducks and the phytoplankton would increase in population size.
Explanation:
The benthic invertebrates are eaten by sea ducks. Sea ducks are eaten by bald eagles. If the bald eagle was removed, there would be more sea ducks because they will have no more predators. Since there are more sea ducks, they will need to eat more food, like benthic invertebrates. The benthic invertebrates would have a lower population because the sea ducks eat more of them.
Why not the other answers:
A) The bivalves would not increase in population size. Without the bald eagle preying on sea ducks, there would be more sea ducks, who need to eat more food, such as eating more bivalves.
The phytoplankton would not decrease. With sea ducks eating more food, more benthic invertebrates are eaten. There would be less benthic invertebrates to eat phytoplankton.
B) Tundra swans were never eaten by bald eagles. There is no arrow connecting them.
D) Wading birds were never eaten by ospreys. There is no arrow connecting them.
