Answer:

The options to this question are:

A) allele

B) codon

C) nucleotide

D) chromosome

The answer is A) allele

Explanation:

RNA and DNA are the two nucleic acids in living organisms used for transferring and storing genetic information. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the genetic material in living organisms that contains segment coding for useful products/proteins and transmits genetic information from one generation to another. These segments are called GENES.

However, genes contain an alternate form responsible for genetic variation in the traits coded for by them. These alternate or variant form of a gene is called ALLELE. In a diploid organism like human, each trait is encoded by genes which contain contrasting pair of alleles that allows variation for that particular trait i.e. two alleles for each gene. For example, height trait in humans are encoded by gene, which possess two alleles; one coding for short variety (t) and the other for tall variety (T).

Volgvan

Answer:

1) The beaks are different because they each had different purposes, such as the types of seeds the birds eat.

2) Natural selection is that organisms that are better suited for they're environment survive and reproduce.

3) Variation is the differences of one organism's difference from another of the same organism.

4) Biased off the fossils scientist may see the changes that happen over time to them and thanks to the ability of seeing how old a fossil is we may better order them.

5) Mimicry is when one organism "mimics" another, whereas camouflage is when one organism changes to look likes it surroundings.

6) Adaptation is a change or the process of change of which an organism or species becomes better suited to its environment.

7) An endangered species is a species that is very low is sightings or near extinction.

8) A herbivore has a plant biased diet whereas a carnivore has a meat, or other living organism biased diet.

9) Flowers use coloration to use a color to attract birds, and insects to reproduce and pollenate.

10) Charles Darwin was a explorer and scientist that came up with the theory of evolution, which states that through natural selection a species may change, give rise to new species, with a common ancestor.

Wow this took a while.

Explain the different stages of syphilis. (Terminology/topics to include: causative organism (morphology, gram-stain reaction),
ikadub [295]

Answer:

Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease

Explanation:

Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection caused by <em>Treponema pallidum</em>, a spirochaete gram-negative bacterium with various subspecies. This disease is transmitted through direct contact (person to person) by different types of sexual acts. A chancre is an infectious genital lesion that is considered to be the first stage (and symptom) of syphilis. The incubation period of syphilis is 14-21 days. Syphilis can be divided into four stages: primary, secondary, latent, and tertiary. Primary syphilis produces chancres on the genitals, mouth, rectum, etc. Secondary syphilis causes rashes that occur from 2-8 weeks after the chancres. The third (latent) stage is a latent/hidden phase without noticeable symptoms. Finally, the tertiary (late) stage causes large sores within the body that affects the heart, nervous system, etc. The best manner to prevent syphilis is by practicing safe sex (e.g., by using condoms). It has been suggested that syphilis has an estimated transmission rate of 0.5–1.4% per sexual act. Syphilis doesn't have an effective treatment, but this disease can be cured in its early stages with one dose of benzathine penicillin G (administered intramuscularly).
