Answer:

Yes, your answer, nitrogen, is correct (the most appropriate option). However, oxygen is also a correct option.

Explanation:

Nitrogen exists on its own as a diatomic gas. However, it exists as organic nitrogen in nucleic acids such as DNA and RNA (as part of their nitrogenous bases) and in the amino (--NH_{2}) group of amino acids.

Do note that a case can also be made for oxygen as a right option: like nitrogen, it exists as a diatomic gas and can be found in both nucleic acids and in the carboxylic group of amino acids.

Sulfur is not an appropriate option as nitrogenous bases (and nucleic acids) to the best of my knowledge do not contain sulphur although some amino acids like cysteine do.

Carbon is not also an appropriate option because elemental carbon does not exist in gaseous form even though it can be found in both nucleic acids and amino acids.

What is the difference between monotremes marsupials and placental mammals?
vladimir1956 [14]

Here is your answer......

Explanation:

Monotremes are mammals that lay eggs. Monotremes are warm blooded with a fast metabolism. They have hairy bodies to keep warm.

Marsupials are mammals that give birth to live young.  These mammals have a pouch where their young grow and develop. Marsupials are hairy, warm blooded, and produce milk. One of the biggest differences between marsupials and placental mammals is that marsupials give birth quite early and rely less on the nourishment of the placenta. Some examples of marsupials are kangaroo and opossums.

Placental mammals are mammals that give birth to fully developed live young.  They differ from marsupials in that the baby spend more time being nourished in-utero by the placenta. These mammals are hairy and warm blooded as well. Some examples are mice, rats, and bats

Two organisms, AABBCCDDEE and aabbccddee, are mated to produce an F1 that is self-fertilized to produce F2. If the capital lette
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

a) How many genotypes will occur in F2

--The genotypes would be- AA Aa aa BB Bb bb CC Cc cc DD Dd dd EE Ee ee (15 genotypes)

Reason-

This is because, after crossing the parents, the F1 generation would all be Heterozygous dominant since one parent is homozygous dominant, while the other is homozygous recessive.

b) 25% of all F2 genotypes would be recessive across the 5 loci

Reason-

This is because each loci would produce only a 25% chance for a recessive trait, which would results to a general probability of 25% also.

c) Yes i would change my answer in A and B if the parent cross was- AABBCCDDEE X aaBBccDDEE

d) Yes i would change my answer in A and B if the parent cross was- AABBCCDDEE X aabbccddEE
