Is it possible for a whale in captivity to live after it has been realsed

1 answer:

4 0

The possibility of release is only possible if the whale has only been in captivity for a short time. An example of this is Springer, the killer whale that was treated for emaciation and nursed back to health before being rehabitated and ruined to their pod. For orcas like the whales at Seaworld (which has just been banned from further breeding! Yay!), these whales are unable to be released as they have been in captivity their whole life. All animals, including marine mammals, can be imprinted by human interaction. Captive whales are accustomed to being fed by humans and do not know how to fend for themselves in the wild. If they were released into the wild, these tame whales may attack boats and humans, thinking they will feed them and inevitably starve to death because they are unable to hunt. Whales live in pods otherwise known as their whole life. They hunt and feed with them. If a captive whale were to be released, it would be unable to hunt as they wouldn't have a pod that would assist them.

2. How could one change in a DNA nucleotide alter the formation of the translated protein

vichka [17]

Answer AND Explanation:

Proteins are formed from the translation of mRNA to amino acid. Each set of 3 nucleotides make up a codon that codes for a specific amino acid. Frameshift mutations can also impact the formation of the protein. A change in a nucleotide does not always change the amino acid or protein because some amino acids have more than one set of 3 nucleotides that code for them. Valine, for example, is coded for by GUU, GUC, GUA and GUG. A change in the last nucleotide wouldn't affect the amino acid formed. However,GAG codes for glutamic acid.

How does phospholipid structure relate to the selective permeability of the plasma membrane? a critical feature of the plasma me

Katen [24]

The structure of plasma membrane makes it selectively permeable allowing it to regulate the passage of substances into and out of the cell. Small nonpolar molecules can easily across the phospholipid bilayer of plasma membrane because it is hydrophobic. Polar molecules and ion cannot easily across the hydrophobic portion of plasma membrane because it is hydrophilic. Polar molecules and ions usually across the plasma membrane with the help of transport proteins.

What do studies show about temperature tolerance of intertidal animals

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

The intertidal zone is a region of extreme conditions and the organisms should have special mechanisms to cope up with the extreme conditions.

Explanation:

Low tides expose an intertidal zone to air while high tides cover the intertidal zone with ocean water. When exposed to air the intertidal region is directly exposed to the sun and there will be high temperature. 

Thus the animals have to cope up with the extreme heat and also have to face colder environment when under the sea. Since there is change in salinity the organisms have to handle this as well.

Some animals with shells close their shell tightly to seal moisture. Animals like snails and crabs have thick outer covering to prevent water loss by evaporation. 

Organisms like leaf barnacles cluster together to avoid individual exposure. Animals like sea stars cling to the rocks to avoid being washed away by the waves.
