Body colour of mice depends on the gene of the mice.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Body colour is a character of mice, and it has different traits like light coloured and dark coloured. The body colour is formed because of the specific genes present in their DNA, which is present in chromosomes. The wild variety of the body colour is dark coloured, while the mutated variety of the body colour is light colored. As the mutations are usually recessive over the wild varieties, so the dark colour is dominant over the light coloured.

So when a pure dark coloured mice is crossed with a purely light coloured mice, the offsprings are all dark coloured.

laiz [17]

Answer:

uncouplers

Explanation:

Metabolic uncouplers are chemicals/molecules that have ability to shuttle H+ across the membrane disrupting the proton motive force necessary for the generation of ATP. As a consequence the ATP synthesis is reduced and anabolism is slowed down. These processes also known as metabolic uncoupling lead to the reduction in biomass yield (weight loss).

50 POINTS How does biodiversity help ecosystems survive disease,predation,and invasion?

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Biodiversity ensures that there is a wide range genetic variations in certain species and many different species in an ecosystem. If an epidemic breaks out in a ecosystem if one species has some organisms that are immune to that disease they will survive and pass on the gene that makes them immune. If one species completely dies out in that ecosystem another species may be able to take over its role in the ecosystem so the whole ecosystem does not die out. If a certain species has a characteristic that helps them blend in with their environment and protects them from their predators those members of the species will survive and pass on their genes to later members of their species. If a invasive species is introduced it would be helpful if their was an animal in that ecosystem that could help regulate the invasive species population however what is most likely to happen is that due to the high stability of the ecosystem due to a high biodiversity the ecosystem will have a better chance of surviving because their will be different sources of food in the environment so the invasive species and the native species wouldn't have to compete too much for food.

What law accounts for the decrease of energy at each trophic level?

zalisa [80]

Answer:

Second law of thermodynamics

Explanation:

The second law of thermodynamics states that whenever energy is transformed, there is a loss energy through the release of heat. This occurs when energy is transferred between trophic levels as illustrated in a food web. When one animal feeds off another, there is a loss of heat (energy) in the process.

If there were six bases in DNA and still only 20 amino acids, how long would a codon need to be in order to specify an amino aci

olga2289 [7]

Answer:

The codon length would not change.

Explanation:

Codons have 3 bases and normally the DNA has 4, each codon counts for a single amino acid. There are 64 possible codon variations which can be calculated by $4^{3}$ .

If there were 6 bases in the DNA than there would be $6^{3} = 216$ codon variation that correspond to the same 20 amino acids but the codon lengths would still be the same.

I hope this answer helps.
