Answer: High Specific Heat Of Water

Explanation:

Water’s high specific heat helps to maintain low temperature and protects fish life. This is due to the presence of hydrogen bonds in larger amount between water molecules. Of course, specific heat plays a role to capture more energy without rise in temperature.

When heat gets absorbed, water molecules move freely and hydrogen bond gets broken. If temperature decreases, release energy by forming hydrogen bond. Hence, it clearly shows that this water property can drastically change the temperature quickly which is important in protecting a fish in a shallow pond on a hot summer day.

B: A mutation in one of G5W's parents, during gamete formation, created an X-linked dominant disease allele.

You need to analyze the sex gametes.

Boys are XY

Girls are XX

If you have an X-linked dominant disease you need only one affected X gamete to have the disease.

The mother has XX' where X' is de affected and reproduce with a healthy man XY and breed unhealthy boys, but because of the heterozygous gametes you could also have healthy ones XX and XY

This table shows the codons found in messenger RNA (attached). Using this information, what sequence of nucleotides in the templ

Rashid [163]

Answer:

Explanation:

The correct answer would be option A - GUA-CAU-ACC

Looking at the table of codons, for the amino acid Val, the first base (which is on the 1st column in the 6th row) is G while the second base (2nd column, 2nd row) is U. The third column can be any of U, C, A, or G (6th column, 4th row). Hence, GUA is plausible

For the amino acid His, the first base is C (1st column, 2nd row), the second is A (4th column, 4th row) while the last could be any of the 4 bases. Hence, CAU is plausible.

For the amino acid Thr, the first base is A (first column, 5th row), the second is C (3rd column, 2nd row) while the 3rth could be any of the 4 nucleotide bases. Hence, ACC is plausible.

Therefore, the correct sequence of nucleotides for Val-His_Thr would be GUA-CAU-ACC

How does the process of cellular respiration maintain homeostasis?

marissa [1.9K]

Cellular respiration is the process by which glucose is transformed into ATP. -- It uses oxygen and gives off carbon dioxide and takes place in the mitochondria of the cells. -- It helps maintain homeostasis by transforming energy that can be used to do cellularwork.
