Biology
1 answer:
kotegsom [21]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The correct answer is a. "exon; intron".

Explanation:

According to the article "Distributions of exons and introns in the human genome" published in the scientific journal "In silico biology", an average human gene have 8.8 exons and 7.8 introns. Regardless of having similar proportions, human exons and introns differ in their lenght. An average exon's length is about 170 bp, when the average intron's length is 5419 bp. Therefore, most of the genetic material is comprised of introns (90%), while only a small part is comprised of exons (10%).

What happens as a result of osmosis when an animal cell containing 1% sugar is placed in pure water
Mama L [17]

The process of osmosis is the movement of water through a selectively permeable membrane from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.

If 1% sugar solution is placed in pure water, then there would be a higher concentration of water molecules outside the cell compared to inside the cell. The solution outside the cell would be hypo-tonic (containing fewer solute molecules than inside the cell). Water will move into the cell by inward osmosis and the cell would then swell.

goldfiish [28.3K]

In the United States the direction the continental polar air mass move South toward the Gulf of Mexico to replace the rising maritime tropical air mass.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

Air masses are large bodies of air moving horizontally in a very uniform way.  Continental polar air mass is an air mass that forms near the poles. It originates in northern Canada and Alaska and move south then East.

The continental polar masses are the causes for the severe cold weather in the South during the cold months. Maritime tropical mass are warm and have high moisture content. During winter it comes in contact with the continental polar mass hence getting stabilized.
