The correct answer is hydrogen bonds.

Snottite is a product of extremophilic bacteria which hang from the walls and ceilings of caves and are similar to stalactites, but have the consistency of nasal mucus.The main component of snottite is a sulphuric acid which is a waste product of bacteria.

The long slender strands found in the caves are secretions of the glow worms that dwell there. The strands are sticky and glow in the darkness of the cave. Their purpose is to catch the insects by attracting to light and get them stuck to the strands. The strands are attached to the roof of the cave by adhesion. The strands contain urea and uric acid. Urea is considered to a bonding agent based on its use in the adhesive industry. Thus the strands are probably being held in place by the urea and uric acid making an adhesive bond with the roof of the cave.

What is meant by a mechanism of evolution?
Effectus [21]

The mechanisms of evolution allow evolutionism to be explained according to the scientific method. Through the mechanisms of evolution we can understand how the equilibrium in a population is changed and the consequences that this change causes.

The most important mechanisms of evolution include:

  • Trial and error: It is the simplest of all methods of evolutionism; in principle it is typical of microorganisms with a lot of progeny in each generation and relies on the later mechanism of natural selection.
  • Natural Selection: In the strict and exclusive sense, it would act as the only method of effective evolution, since random modifications alone would not achieve the observed evolution of living beings. Assuming the randomness of modifications, the earlier trial and error method would be more general than natural selection, since it does not always operate.  Natural selection is characterized as a method of verification exogenous to the evolutionary system itself or the system of creation of genetic modifications, as it acts “a posteriori”.
  • Exhaustive proof or simulation: Of the results predicted by the genetic modifications made. In certain cases, living organisms may prove the effect of replacing, for example, one protein with another, if the evidence is satisfactory with respect to the functionality of the new mechanism of evolution; and there is no risk of having side effects on suppression of the first protein, genetic modification could be carried out without major problems as the guarantee objective would be fully covered.
  • Partial Proof of Modifications: When an evolutionary system is complicated and contains many interrelationships, exhaustive proof of the effects of a small modification will not be possible and will have to be limited to more or less extensive but not total proof. To the extent that the range of possible effects of genetic modification has been covered, it will carry greater or lesser risk. The risks of this method are very well known to computer programmers.

If cells from one part of an embryo are transplanted to another part, and they develop into the tissue they would have made orig
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

determined

Explanation:

Determined cells are embryonic cells that will generate all the cell types of the adult organism, with this process being independent of environmental inputs. Cell determination is defined by specific gene expression patterns in embryonic cells. In consequence, cell determination is defined as a genetic process where a particular cell fate can be broken down into two different states: specified (committed) or determined. If a cell is in a committed/specified state, the cell's fate can still be reversed or transformed, while if a cell in a determined state, the cell's fate cannot be reversed or transformed.

How does a single change in nitrogen base alter the formation of a protein
jasenka [17]


During translation to RNA, the nitrogen bases on the DNA molecule are translated to complementary RNA bases. Afterwards, these bases are again used to form amino acids.
Three bases make up a codon, which codes for a specific amino acid. If a base is changed, the codon will become changed. This will result in a different amino acid being produced in and the primary structure of the polypeptide will be altered.
