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.

Which CNS neuroglial cells remove cell debris, wastes, and pathogens by phagocytosis?

marin [14]

Answer:

Microglial cells

Explanation:

Microglial cells are one of the various types of neuroglial cells in the central nervous system. Microglial cells are the small cells and have thin slender processes. Many spine-shaped outgrowths come out of these processes. Microglial cells serve as phagocytes of the central nervous system. These cells clean the cellular debris that is generated during the normal development of the nervous system. Microglial cells also perform phagocytosis of microbes and damaged nervous tissue.

Rosa drew a flow chart of the carbon cycle. Flow chart of the carbon cycle with 4 boxes connected by arrows. Box 1: carbon dioxi

leonid [27]

Answer:

(a) X: Producers undergo photosynthesis. Y: Decomposers return carbon to the soil and release waste.

Explanation:

(a) X: Producers undergo photosynthesis. Y: Decomposers return carbon to the soil and release waste.

(b) X: Decomposers return carbon to the soil and release waste. Y: Producers undergo photosynthesis.

(c) X: Decomposers take in carbon dioxide. Y: Producers absorb carbon through their roots.

(d)X: Producers absorb carbon through their roots. Y: Decomposers take in carbon dioxide.

Box 2 (X) would be the process through which producers fix carbon dioxide to produce their own food, the carbohydrate. The process is otherwise known as photosynthesis and can be represented by the following equation:

$6CO_2 + 6H_20 --> C_6H_1_2O_6 + 6O_2$

Box 4 (Y) would be the process of decomposition. Both producers and consumers eventually die and decompose in the soil. During this process, some of the carbon returns to the soil as organic matters while the process of microbial decomposition releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

The correct option would be (a).

In part A, you analyzed genes that contribute to two diseases. How can scientists use this information to develop new treatments

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

Yes scientist will need to develop multiple treatments to control symptoms.

Explanation:

because if they only do one treatment it may not work for everyone because some people could be allergic to that one treatment that's why there are multiple treatments.
