Answer:

Ribosomal RNA: Structural part of ribosomes

Messenger RNA: Carry genetic information from DNA to proteins

Transfer RNA (tRNA): Transport amino acids to protein synthesizing complex.

Explanation:

Ribosomes are made up of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and proteins. The catalytic activity for the formation of peptide bonds between amino acids during protein synthesis resides the RNA of ribosomes.  

Messenger RNA (mRNA) is formed by the process of transcription during which the nucleotide sequence of the template DNA strand is copied into that of the RNA. The mRNA serves as a template for protein synthesis. The nucleotide sequence of mRNA is read in the form of genetic codes to specify the amino acid sequence of a protein. In this way, the genetic information stored in DNA is carried to the proteins.

During the process of protein synthesis, tRNAs carry amino acids to the mRNA-ribosome complex so that the amino acids are incorporated into the polypeptide. For the purpose, there is a tRNA with a specific anticodon sequence for a particular amino acid.

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

disrupt habitats that native species depend  upon

Explanation:

(1) provide food for native bird species

  (2) can carry diseases that can be spread to pets

  (3) increase biodiversity in New York State forests

  (4) disrupt habitats that native species depend

      upon

The insects have the potential to cause an upset in the natural ecosystem because their destruction of native hemlock trees leads to the automatic destruction of the habitats of several native species.

<em>Trees generally function to provide habitats for many plant and animal species. Their destructions mean that these habitats would be destroyed and the species they harbor would become displaced. Displacement of species from their natural habitat can cause an upset to the ecosystem.</em>

Explain how density dependents factors vs density independent factors affect population size.
monitta

Density-dependent regulation can be affected by factors that affect birth and death rates such as competition and predation. Density-independent regulation can be affected by factors that affect birth and death rates such as abiotic factors and environmental factors, i.e. severe weather and conditions such as fire
