Asking questions about the genetic code

Biology
1 answer:
Pepsi [2]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Genetic code is a sequence of Nitrogenous base in RNA(ribonucleic acid) or DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) that determines or specify an amino acid. Genetic codes consist of a triplets code called codon that are written in three alphabeth each codon specifies an amino acid.

Example is AUG that specifies methionine which is a start codon. There are 64 codon, 61 of them specifies an amino acid while 3 are called the stop codon as they terminate amino acid formation process.

An alteration in the sequence of this nucleotide can lead to the formation of a new amino acids other than the specify.

The diagram shows an example of a food web. What are common traits of the prey shown that help them survive? What might happen i
denpristay [2]

Answer:

Adverse effect on the animals.

Explanation:

If the rabbit population suddenly shrank due to disease, it will adversely affected the population of eagle, fox and coyote because these animals depend on them through feeding. Eagle, fox and coyote feed on the rabbit so if the population of rabbit decreases, then there will be scarcity of food for these animals and as a result decrease occur in their populations so we can say that adverse effect occurs on the population of eagle, fox and coyote.

Because global temperatures are ________[1], some species are seeking out ______[2] elevations in the Himalayas to colonize. Sci
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

increasing[1], higher[2], space[3], food[4], climate change[5].

Explanation:

Because global temperatures are <u>increasing[1]</u>, some species are seeking out <u>higher[2]</u> elevations in the Himalayas to colonize.  Scientists were worried that these organisms would not have enough <u>space[3]</u> to live, but they have found that there is adequate <u>food[4]</u> at higher elevations. This movement may help these organisms survive the effects of <u>climate change[5].</u>

(Although am positive about 1, 2 and 5, you will need to double check 3 and 4.  What I can tell you is that I don't think lifespan has to do with 3 or 4.  I chose space and food simply due to the thought that more species moving to higher elevations allows for less space to live, but more prey to be hunted easier.)

Darwin observed that organisms that were best able to survive and reproduce had adaptations that were...
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

A: Suited for their environment

Explanation:

You can automatically eliminate B and C, since they both say that animals with adaptations that won't work with their environment would have a higher survival rate. This doesn't make sense; adaptations that wouldn't suit an environment would actually lower the population's chances of reproduction and survival.
That leads us to A and D. However, A would be the correct answer. Organisms with adaptations that suited their environment would help them (since it would make the organism more compatible with their environment), rather than having no change at all.

Hope this helped!

This type of membrane transport moves substances against the concentration gradient from an area of low concentration to an area
sashaice [31]

<u>Answer</u>:- Active transport

<u>Explanation</u>:-

There are two types of membrane transports

1. Passive transport - this type of transport occurs without the input of any energy and the molecules move along the concentration gradients that is from <em>high concetration to low concentration.</em>

2. Active transport- this type of transport takes place to move the molecules against the concentration gradient that is from <em>low concentration to high concentration.</em>

<em>The active transport is of two types:</em>

1. <em>Primary active transport-</em> in this type of transport <em>ATP</em> is used as an energy source to move the substances against the concentration gradient.

2.<em>Secondary active transport</em> - in this type of transport the gradient formed by the active transport is utilized and it involves the movement of 2 substances at a time aross the membrane. That is the movement of one molecule is coupled to another.


  • The membrane proteins that are associated with active transport are called as <em>carrier proteins</em>. These proteins have a binding site for the molecules that they transport. Once they bind to the specific molecules, a conformation change is induced and this leads to the transport of the molecule across the membrane.

So, the <em>active transport is basically responsible for utilizing the energy from ATP and carrier proteins to move the substances across the membrane against their concentration gradient i.e. from low concentration to high concentration.</em>
