The complete statement made by Stephen Hawking is: "though much of its behaviour through out history, has been pretty stupid, and not calculated to aid the survival of the species."
If one looks at our history, there are some events that defy our capacity for logical thinking. One would think that, as we possess this capacity, we would be able to direct our decisions towards the survival of the human species.
However, in many cases greed and the desire for personal gain have taken precedence. One good example was the burning of the great library of Alexandria, one of the most significant libraries in the ancient world. This magnificent collection was lost during the siege of Alexandria, when Julius Caesar set on fire the ships in the harbor.
Another example is the atomic bomb, when science has been used to invent one of the most destructive weapons known to us. Atomic warfare is still a threat that may end all life on Earth.
Furthermore, the greed of some corporations has led to multiple ecological catastrophes that endanger not only other species but our own future as well. One example is the Bhopal gas leak in India, where in 1984, due to poor maintenance, the chemical plant released 30 metric tons of methyl isocyanite into the atmosphere.
A.) carbohydrates are large molecules made up of monosaccharides and are used by organisms for energy storage.

The messages must travel the distance of the nerves to the brain which are processed and made decisions, from the distance of the nerves from the sense organs, then travel back to the muscles that need to respond through the nerves.<span> </span></span>
Answer:
first 4, then 2, then 1, and lastly 3
Explanation:
First, RNA polymerase binds to the promoter region of a gene on the DNA and initiates transcription. Transcription is the process by which we get mRNA (coding RNA) which is used as a template for protein synthesis. Then, in transcription, the resulting mRNA undergoes modification and maturation. This involves removal of introns, addition of 3'-poly-A tail and 5'-cap. Introns are sequences that do not code for protein and are hence removed. The structure that removes introns is the spliceosome. Thirdly, mature mRNA travels to the cytoplasm. Ribosome (composed of rRNA) binds to mRNA and tRNA to start the process of protein synthesis. The process of formation of protein is called translation. Lastly, the primary structure of protein may undergo folding to form a tertiary structure.

2. only some traits are inherited
3. offspring inherit two alleles for a gene from each parent.
