The best way to avoid it it to make sure you always put mosquito spray on before you go outside and wear long sleeves and pants if you know mosquitoes are out.

Describe the relationships among amino acids, chromosomes, proteins, and genes in the cells of a jackalberry plant. Make sure to
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

The jackalberry plant is a multicellular organism whose cells contain chromosomes. The chromosomes contain genes that are transcribed to produce messenger RNAs, which are then translated into proteins  

Explanation:

The Jackalberry tree is a plant, i.e., a multicellular organism. Multicellular organisms have chromosomes in the nucleus of each cell. A chromosome is a long DNA molecule that contains part (or even all) of the genetic information of a particular organism. Genes are specific segments of the chromosomes, which are expressed in a process called 'transcription' where a gene is used as template to synthesize an RNA molecule, usually a messenger RNA (mRNA). Subsequently, these mRNAs are used to synthesize proteins by a process called 'translation'. In an mRNA molecule, each specific triplet of nucleotides is known as a codon and corresponds with a specific amino acid during protein synthesis. Thus, the mRNA sequence dictates the correct order of amino acids (i.e., the building blocks of proteins) in the polypeptide chain.
