Answer: The correct answer is c. Survival of the fittest.

Explanation: Survival of the fittest occurs when as the group of individuals of a particular species has the caracteristics or traits that allows them to be better suited or adapted to their local enviroment. The individuals of said species that lacks those specific characteristics usually goes extint.

In this case, the elephans that had long trunks with which to reach out for leaves were able to reproduce more succesfully than elephants with short trunks, which in turn went extinct.

In conclusion, the correct answer is C. Survival of the fittest.

Which of the following is NOT an accurate description of protein synthesis and folding?
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

OPTION b. "<em>The 3D shape of a protein is determined largely by the ribosome forming the protein" </em> is NOT an accurate description of protein synthesis and folding.

Explanation:

<em>a. Many copies of a protein can be synthesized simultaneously from the same mRNA</em>.  TRUE. As a ribosome moves along the mRNA chain synthesizing a new protein, another ribosome might follow it, synthesizing another protein from the same mRNA chain. And so on. So, at the same time, many ribosomes might be attached to the mRNA, synthesizing many copies of the protein, but at different development levels. The mRNA chain together with many ribosomes is called a <em>polyribosome</em>.

b. <em>The 3D shape of a protein is determined largely by the ribosome forming the protein</em>.  FALSE. What determined the 3D structure of the protein is the amino acid sequence of that particular polypeptide. Each amino-acid has different properties (hydrophobic, hydrophilic, positively charged, negatively charged) and they interact with each other by different bonds that depend on those poperties. So the amino acids composing the proteins and their interaction, is what models the structure of the protein.

c. <em>The entire chain of amino acid exits the ribosome before it begins folding into its 3D shape</em>.  TRUE. When the ribosome reaches the end codon, the elongation process has finished, and the new protein leaves the ribosome and is translocated to the RER lumen where it is going to get folded.

d. <em>The first encoded amino acid in every protein is methionine. </em>TRUE. Almost always, the first amino acid located by the tRNA is the methionine, codified by the initiation codon AUG. This amino acid is frequently eliminated at the end of the process.

Bose-Einstein condensates
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC), a state of matter in which separate atoms or subatomic particles, cooled to near absolute zero

(0 K, − 273.15 °C, or − 459.67 °F; K = kelvin), coalesce into a single quantum mechanical entity—that is, one that can be described by a wave function—on a near-microscopic scale.

How do mutations increase genetic diversity in populations?
umka2103 [35]
Flow of individuals in and out of a population introduces new alleles and increase genetic variation within that population. Mutations: changes to an organisms DNA that create diversity within a population by introducing new alleles.
