Answer:

Monosaccharides are simple sugars with a basic formula Cⁿ (H2O)ⁿ. They are classified according to the number of carbon atoms they contain: tetroses (4), pentoses (5) and hexoses (6). There are also mosaccharides with 3 carbon atoms, for example the Dihydroxyacetone.

Explanation:

Monosaccharides have to be aldehydes (-CHO) or ketones (-COO) with more than one alcohol function, which will be located in different carbons.

Answer:

Therefore, the molecular structure of a simple monosaccharide can be written as H(CHOH)n(C=O)(CHOH)mH, where n + 1 + m = x; so that its elemental formula is CxH2xOx. By convention, the carbon atoms are numbered from 1 to x along the backbone, starting from the end that is closest to the C=O group.

Answer:

(c) directional selection

Explanation:

Directional selection is a type of natural selection that occurs when members of a population of a species with a particular extreme phenotype is selected or favored against the other phenotypes when natural forces act on the population of a species. Individuals having the particular traits that are favored survive and become more common that others with traits that are less favored.

Directional selection may likely result in the species of butterflies in which darkly collared butterflies are not preyed upon, ensuring their survival, while the other butterflies with other colors will be phased out with time. Darkly colored butterfly will be selected for while the others will be selected against.

Explain how genes are expressed for a particular reason
ozzi

Each cell expresses, or turns on, only a fraction of its genes. The rest of the genes are repressed, or turned off.

The turned on genes are then first transcribed into messenger RNA by the process of Transcription.

Then the mRNA is Translated into protein by the process called Translation.

This is how the specific genes are expressed.
