Answer:

In addition to vocalization, a mother sea lion locate her pup using a variety of behavioral signals such as moving inside their colony, returning to a familiar location within the colony where she frequented to feed her pup, visual cues and olfactory cues like smelling the approaching pups.

Explanation:

Sea Lions belong to the scientific order Pinnipedia and the family Otariidae.  They can walk on all fours on land by rotating their pelvic girdle under their body and also use their front flippers to move in the water. During their breeding and pupping (birthing) time, they gather in groups called rookeries. They can communicate through vocalizations (barks, growls, and grunts) both on land and in water.

After the return of mother sea lions to the rookery from their searching for food (foraging), the mother-pup pairs identify and locate each other through the exchange of vocalizations. In addition to vocalization, the mothers often return to a home spot (familiar location within their colony where a female frequented to feed her pup), move inside the colony and also use visual and olfactory cues like smelling the approaching pups to correctly identify their pup. Also, the return of the mother to a familiar home spot provides the pup with spatial and geographical memory cues.

Answer:option d

Explanation:Ocean acidification is the ongoing decrease in the pH of the Earth's oceans, caused by the uptake of carbon dioxide (CO. 2) from the atmosphere. Seawater is slightly basic (meaning pH > 7), and ocean acidification involves a shift towards pH-neutral conditions rather than a transition to acidic conditions (pH < 7).

Define the following
asambeis [7]

Explanation:

A. Shine-Dalgarno Sequence:

  • This is a binding site found in the messenger RNA (mRNA) in prokaryotic organisms. It is found upstream of the start codon AUG and aids in the initiation of  protein synthesis

B. SRP:

  • Signal Recognition Protein (SRP). This acts by binding to the bacterial ribosome, which as a result restricts protein synthesis.

C. NLS:

  • Nuclear Localisation Signal is a short amino acid sequence, which is responsible for transporting proteins from the cell cytoplasm into the nucleus. The NLS is also responsible for the development of the nuclear envelope of the cell.

D. Ubiquitin:

  • Found predominately in Eukaryota, the ubiquitin is a protein that aids in the control of other proteins within the organism.

E. Specificity Factor:

  • Also known as the sigma factor, is responsible for the initiation of bacterial transcription. It is recycled during the transcription process and is only required at the initiation of transcription.

F. CRP:

  • cAMP Receptor Protein (CRP) is involved in catabolite (glucose) repression and serves as an inducer in the process.
