Answer:

Explanation:

In the past, women had five or six children on average, though many babies died soon after birth or in their infancy. For example, in the eighteenth century in France, half of all children died before age ten, and only one-third reached adulthood. Parents had lots of children to ensure that at least some of them survived. Today, child mortality is much lower and in many countries the death of a child is a rare event.

What does the theory of evolution contribute to conservation biology?

Studentka2010 [4]

The theory of evolution provides a number of insights:

-it tells us how the species are related
-it tells us how the species and populations react to the changes in their environment

With this knowledge, the scientists can predict how the species will react to the potential changes and support the positive changes (provide a good environment for the animals for example) <span />

Whatts the mechanism behind emotions? why do we have emotions?

Alexeev081 [22]

In biopsychology, there is a system in the brain which is called the limbic system. The limbic system is responsible for one's memory, emotions and instincts -drives.
Many researchers suggest that the existence of emotions helped the animal kingdom to respond to sociality and survive better, emotion can also be translated into care and love. These traits also aid why infants, babies and other offsprings of animals are cared for which has a great influence on the survival of the species.

Amygdala, responsible for pain, aggression and grief which is anterior to the hippocampus factors why our memories have incorporated and is strengthened with emotions at that specific circumstance.

Which of the following describes the correct stepwise assembly (in vitro) of the eukaryotic RNA polymerase II preinitiation comp

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer: (TFIID) TBP-> TFIIB IIA--> TFIIF RNA POL II

Explanation:

Remember that in eukaryotic organisms, transcription and processing are coupled processes. There are 3 different types of Rna pol. In the case of RNA pol II transcribes genes that encode proteins (mRNA synthesis). Transcription factors are involved, for example: TFIID, TBPs, TAF (recognizes TATA promoter center, regulatory functions), TFIIA (stabilizes TBP union, antirepressant function), TFIIB (RNA Pol II starting point selection).
