Answer:

In babies born with congenital defects during the German measles rubella epidemic the specific cause of these birth defects was most likely the development of rubella virus infections in embryos.

Explanation:

Options for this question are:

<em>1. </em><em>The development of rubella virus infections in  embryos. </em>

<em>2. The failure of zygotes infected with rubella to develop </em>

<em>3. Mutations in the nerve cells of pregnant  females at the time of the rubella epidemic .</em>

<em>4. An increase in the amount of time needed for  healthy embryonic development.</em>

Rubella is a viral infection caused by a virus of the genus Rubivirus, considered highly teratogenic during the phases of pregnancy where the embryo and the fetus are developing, that is, before 20 weeks of gestation.

<u>The virus is transferred to the embryo or fetus by the mother's blood, acquiring the disease</u>, which can cause abortions or visible malformations at birth, which is called <u>Congenital Rubella Syndrome</u> (CRB).

CRB is responsible for producing cardiovascular, renal, neurological malformations, loss of vision or hearing, problems that German children born during the epidemic probably had.

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Explanation:

Central dogma represents the pathway in which the information encoded in the DNA flows into proteins.

The DNA is made up of the nucleotide monomers in which the nitrogenous bases are present as one of the constituents. These bases are present in the sequence are transcribed into the RNA molecule through the process of transcription.

The nitrogenous sequences in this RNA molecule are then translated into the proteins through the process of translation during which the sequence is read in pairs of three called "codons". A specific amino acid is attached to the peptide when the codons are read by the translation machinery and a protein is formed.

These proteins could perform various roles in organisms from physical to biochemical and thus the physical traits are controlled by the DNA.

Consumers, or heterotrophs, take in food made by other organisms. Then they break apart the food to release its energy. How do t
saw5 [17]

Answer:

This question lacks options, options are:a.Eating and breaking apart food converts carbon to other elements.b.Eating and breaking apart food converts other elements into carbon.c.Eating food involves taking up carbon dioxide.d.Eating and breaking apart food releases carbon dioxide as a byproduct.The correct answer is d.

Explanation:

Heterotrophs are organisms unable to photosynthesize, so they obtain energy and carbon through the consumption of other organisms.Carbon enters all the trophic networks through the autotrophs, these create their own food by fixing carbon, that is, they capture the carbon dioxide that forms the air or dissolved in water and use it to produce organic compounds. Heterotrophs, which feed on other beings (obtain their food from organic sources present in their environment), consume organic molecules and thus organic carbon passes through the chains and trophic networks. Carbon atoms through respiration in the form of carbon dioxide are released.
