Answer:
7
Explanation:
There are 12 total pairs of ribs. 1-7 are attached directly to the sternum by costal cartilages, making them true pairs. 8-10 are fake pairs, which means they're attached indirectly to the sternum. And 11 and 12 and free floating ribs, meaning they aren't attached.
Answer:
Option D, the "biological ladder"
Explanation:
The food chain is the network of organism in which all are dependent on each other for their food, energy source and survival.
The circle of life depicts the time frame starting from origin of a life form till its death and the intermediate stages.
The tree of life basically determines which organism has evolved from which other organisms.
The biological ladder represents the development of species from simple form to a much complex form.
Hence, option D is the right metaphor
Answer:
Production for Medical Use
Explanation:
There are some examples where human hormone genes are excised and placed into bacterial DNA. An example of this is Human Growth Hormone, which is mass-produced for human use by bacteria.
Answer:
Rice plants possesses several traits which allow sthem to grow in large amount of water because standing water helps them to produce air channel known as aerenchyma that connects roots with shoots and transport oxygen to submerged tissues. Standing water also help many weed to grow and rice plants also takes nutrients from them as well.
Genes are responsible for the traits that allow rice plants to grow in large amount of water but if the gene of rice plant is genetically modified with new gene which is resistant to drought, that can allow the rice to grow in less water.
The genetically modified rice plant then do not require large amount of water and can grow easily.
Answer:
A) many noncoding stretches of nucleotides are present in mRNA.
Explanation:
A transcription unit in eukaryotes includes the region that code for mRNA extending from the 5' cap site to the 3' poly-A site. It also includes the controlling regions. The mRNA formed by transcription also has some non-coding intervening sequences. These are called introns. Introns are removed from the primary transcripts by the process of splicing that occurs after transcription.
Therefore, a transcription unit that is 8,000 nucleotides long may use only 1,200 nucleotides to code for a protein having 400 amino acids since the rest of the nucleotides are part of introns and are removed from mRNA after transcription.
