You could say DNA is found in both viruses and in living single-celled organisms because DNA is necessary to replicate itself.
Tatiana [17]3 years ago

Answer:

Nucleic acids

Explanation:

Nucleic acids are macromolecules that store genetic information and can be found in both viruses and living single-celled organisms (such as bacteria and protozoa).

In the case of <u>viruses</u>, they have no organelles and are basically composed of DNA or RNA (only one of them), performing their reproduction transferring the genetic material to a host cell, using their cellular structures.

<u>Unicellular</u> <u>beings</u>, on the other hand, have DNA and organelles, among them ribosomes, so they can synthesize RNA, which contains genetic information transcribed in it.

Which organisms are secondary consumers in a temperate coniferous forest?
Leya [2.2K]

Complete question:

Which organisms are secondary consumers in a temperate coniferous forest? Select all that apply:

  • moose
  • lynx
  • wolf
  • elk

Answer:

The lynx and the wolf are the only secondary consumers on the list.

Explanation:

In the trophic web, the energy transference occurs when each organism feeds on the preceding link and is eaten by the following link.

The first ones are the autotroph organism or producer, such as a vegetable, that can synthesize organic matter from inorganic matter.

The following links are the consumers: herbivores are primary consumers and feed on producers. <u>Carnivores are secondary consumers and feed on herbivores</u>, and so on. The last links are the decomposers, microorganisms that act on dead animals degrading organic matter.

According to the definition of secondary consumers, among the animals on the list, we can assume that the lynx and the wolf are the only secondary consumers. They are both carnivores and feed on herbivores.

On the other hand, the moose and the elk, are both first consumers.

IF A CUBE IS 1CM ON A SIDE, CALCULATE ITS SURFACE AREA. HINT WRITE 2 points
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

Surface area of the cube = 6cm²

Volume of the cube = 1cm³

Explanation:

The surface area of a cube, which refers to the sum of all the areas of the faces of the cube can be calculated using the formula:

S.A = 6 × a²

That is; a² + a² + a² + a² + a² + a²

Where;

a = length of a side of a cube

a² = area of one side of a cube

Note that, a cube has 6 faces

According to this question, a cube has a length of 1cm on each side.

Hence, S.A = 6 × 1²

S.A = 6 × 1

S.A = 6cm²

Volume of the cube can be calculated using the formula: a³

Where a = 1

Volume = 1 × 1 × 1

Volume = 1cm³

The molecular clock has limited usefulness for estimating divergence times among species in part due to the saturation of DNA se
Greeley [361]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>In highly diverged lineages, the substitutions process will occur at sites that have been substituted previously</em>.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Molecular clock uses the mutation rate to reduce the time in prehistory when the life forms are diverged. <em>The molecular clock uses the sequence of amino acids and nucleotide sequence for the DNA.</em>  

This clock does not measure any time but the number of mutations, and other changes over certain time.  <em>Sometimes its useful property might be limited due to the highly diverged lineages.</em>
