You are examining the DNA sequences that code for the enzyme phosphofructokinase in skinks and Komodo dragons. You notice that t

he coding sequence that actually directs the sequence of amino acids in the enzyme is very similar in the two organisms but that the surrounding sequences vary quite a bit. What is the most likely explanation for this?
A. Coding sequences are repaired more efficiently.
B. Coding sequences are replicated more efficiently.
C. Coding sequences are packaged more tightly in th e chromosomes to protect them from DNA damage.
D. Mutations in coding sequences are more likely to e deleterious to the organism than mutations in noncoding sequences.
E. Recombination between skink and Komodo dragon DNA occurred recently.

Answer: D. Mutation in coding sequences are more likely to be deleterious to the organism than mutations in noncoding sequences.

Explanation: It was not likely to be that the coding sequences are replicated more often. The only possible explanation is that the mutations in coding is more likely to be deleterious to the organism than mutations because it is in a non coding sequence.

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

- 178 ºC

Explanation:

The  ideal gas law   states that :

PV = nRT,

where P is the pressure, V is the volume, n is number of moles , R is the gas constant and T is the absolute temperature.

For the initial conditions :

P₁ V₁ = n₁ R T₁    (1)

and for the final conditions:

P₂V₂= n₂ R T₂    where   n₂ = n₁/2     then    P₂ V₂ = n₁/2 T₂    (2)

Assuming V₂ = V₁ and  dividing (2) by Eqn (1) :

P₂ V₂ = n₁/2 R T₂  / ( n₁ R T₁)      then  P₂ / P₁ = 1/2 T₂ / T₁

4.10 atm / 25.7 atm = 1/2 T₂ / 298 K ⇒ T₂ = 0.16 x 298 x 2 = 95.1 K

T₂ = 95 - 273 = - 178 º C

sleet_krkn [62]
The empirical formula represents the simplest whole number shows the simplest whole number ratio of atoms in a compound.  An example of this is the empirical formula for glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) is C₃H₆O₃.  

I hope this helps.  Let me know if anything is unclear.

In order to synthesize proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids, cells require _____.
jonny [76]

Answer:

Energy

Explanation:

A sugar group would be used for carbohydrates or nucleic acids. An adenosine group would be used in ATP formation if I recall correct. And disaccharides are just two monosaccharides linked together, so that would also be for carbohydrates. Therefore, energy is the answer.

A reaction is exothermic when Group of answer choices weak bonds break and strong bonds form. strong bonds break and weak bonds
Leona [35]

Answer:

weak bonds break and strong bonds form

Explanation:

An exothermic reaction is a chemical reaction in which heat energy is evolved during the reaction process.

Bond formation requires energy while bond breakage releases energy. More energy is needed for the formation of weak bonds as compared to strong bonds.

<em>Hence, when weak bonds break, they release more energy than needed to make a corresponding strong bond leading to the release of the remaining energy as heat.</em>
