Answer:
B. Both voluntary and involuntary actions
For women, the possibility of pregnancy begins in the ovaries. A woman is born with 1 to 2 million eggs, more than a lifetime's supply. The eggs begin dying off almost immediately and she never produces more. The average egg lives only about 24 hours, so it has to be fertilized soon for pregnancy to happen. If it doesn't get fertilized on time, it either dissolves or is absorbed by the body. When an egg is fertilized, its own genetic material and the genetic material of the sperm that got to the egg first combine to create a new cell that starts dividing rapidly. A woman isn't actually pregnant until that new bundle of cells (called the embryo) travels down the fallopian tube and attaches to the wall of the woman's uterus. The average pregnancy lasts for 38 weeks from the date you conceive (called conception). However, doctors usually date your pregnancy from the first day of the woman's last menstrual period. Using this method, a pregnancy is said to last 40 weeks, or 280 days.
Answer:
Through genetic modification/engineering
Explanation:
<em>Most of the species that we use as food do not look like their ancestral species anymore because humans have genetically modified them to suit their desires.</em>
Through genetic engineering, humans have been able to select desirable characteristics or attribute from one organism and transfer it to another organism of similar species that already has some desirable attributes. Thus, the latter organism becomes genetically modified and looks different from its ancestors just to suit the taste of man.
Answer:
The bottom one is "evaporation" and the one to the right is "precipitation".
Explanation:
Evaporation is when the sun heats up a body of water and turns the surface water particles into water vapor. The water vapor then goes into the air and turns into clouds. Precipitation is basically rain.
Answer: B) Arginine
Explanation: Having the sequence (mRNA):
5′-GUUUCCCGUAUACAUGCGUGCCGGGGGC-3, we can go through the following procedure:
1. Identifying the binding site for the initiator tRNA, which is the so-called "start codon" AUG: 5′-GUUUCCCGUAUAC<u><em>AUG</em></u>CGUGCCGGGGGC-3′
2. Look for the next codon after AUG, which is CGU:
5′-GUUUCCCGUAUACAUG<u><em>CGU</em></u>GCCGGGGGC-3
3. Look in a codon table in which amino acid corresponds to CGU. Then you will find that amino acid is Arginine.
The reason you should follow the above procedure is that during translation, ribosomes are in charge of creating a new peptide bond from mRNA using different tRNA. A tRNA is a structure with a codon attached to it and an amino acid. If a tRNA has a UAC codon attached to it, then this tRNA is going to scan the mRNA looking for the corresponding AUG (the so-called start codon). This is why the tRNA with the UAC codon attached to it is called "initiator tRNA". When initiator tRNA finds the start codon, the large subunit of the ribosome would place this tRNA plus mRNA in its so-called P site (Polypeptide site). On the right of the P site is the A site (Amino acid site) which will be waiting for the tRNA which attached codon corresponds to the next codon after the start codon AUG in the mRNA. For this case, that codon which A site is waiting for is CGU, which is attached to a tRNA containing the corresponding amino acid which is Arginine.
