erial was proteins, and not DNA. The reason for this belief was that proteins are more complex than DNA. What was the basis of this thinking?
A) Proteins have a greater variety of three-dimensional forms than does DNA.

B) Proteins have two different levels of structural organization; DNA has four.

C) Proteins are made of 40 amino acids and DNA is made of four nucleotides.

D) Some viruses only transmit proteins.

Answer:

A) Proteins have a greater variety of three-dimensional forms than does DNA.

Explanation:

Proteins have a more complex nature as compared to DNA. Proteins structural organization is also very different.  The three dimensional structure  determine the function of protein based on the amino acid sequence. Proteins are the end products of the genetic information which perform the function and have greater variety

How do the process of DNA replication and the laws of inheritance help cells and individuals pass on their
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer/Explanation:

DNA replication doubles each chromosome, meaning the cell can pass on DNA to daughter cells - the duplicated DNA is divided equally between the two new cells formed from the parent.

The laws of inheritance are:

1) The Law of Dominance: An organism with alternate forms of a gene, called alleles, will always display the form that is dominant, masking the recessive trait.

2) The Law of Segregation: In a diploid genome, like most eukaryotes, each trait is defined by a pair of genes (alleles). Each allele is randomly passed on to the gametes so that each gamete only contains one allele.   The offspring inherits one allele from each parent during the process of fertilization.

2) The Law of Independent Assortment: Genes for different traits are sorted independently from one another That is, the inheritance of one trait does not depend on the inheritance of another trait. so that the inheritance of one trait is not dependent on the inheritance of another.

Viagra active component is sildenafil citrate which has the ability to relax the smooth muscle in the artery and dilate the arteries of the penis. As the arteries in penis dilate, the blood flow into penis will be increased. This will make penis filled with blood and give pressure to nearby veins causing them to close. All this event cause increased pressure in penis that was making the erection

Maria wakes up in the morning and takes a shower, drinks a glass of water, washes her clothes in the laundry machine, and then g
Ivan

The correct option is this: MARIA'S WATER USE IS CONSUMPTIVE.

Water use can be consumptive or non consumptive. Consumptive water use refers to the process of using water in such a way that the water used can not be returned to the water resources system.

The water that Maria used to shower, the one she drank and the one she used to wash her laundry are waste water, which are not returned to the central water resources system, thus, Maria's water use is consumptive.
