What does research say about the relationship between birth order, sibling spacing, and intelligence?
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

"Birth order and sibling spacing are unrelated to a child's intelligence."

Explanation:

The theory, put forward by Robert Zajonc, a psychologist at the University of Michigan, holds, in brief, that the greater the number of children in a family and the shorter the time between their births, the lower will be the intelligence of the children, particularly those born later. A mother's genetics determines how clever her children are, according to researchers, and the father makes no difference. Women are more likely to transmit intelligence genes to their children because they are carried on the X chromosome and women have two of these, while men only have one.

15. Which of the processes has more than one type of RNA involved?
erastova [34]

Answer:

Translation

Explanation:

Translation is the process by which mRNA is decoded and translated to produce a polypeptide sequence, otherwise known as a protein. This method of synthesizing proteins is directed by the mRNA and accomplished with the help of a ribosome, a large complex of ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) and proteins. In translation, a cell decodes the mRNA’s genetic message and assembles the brand-new polypeptide chain. Transfer RNA, or tRNA, translates the sequence of codons on the mRNA strand. The main function of tRNA is to transfer a free amino acid from the cytoplasm to a ribosome, where it is attached to the growing polypeptide chain. tRNAs continue to add amino acids to the growing end of the polypeptide chain until they reach a stop codon on the mRNA. The ribosome then releases the completed protein into the cell.
