DNA is a molecule found in the nucleus of cells in all living organisms that hold the information necessary to make proteins.
The information is held in the sequence of nucleotides that the DNA is made of (adenosine, cytosine, thymine, and guanine). Sequences that hold the information on how to make a specific protein are called genes. The sequence of a gene is read in triplets of nucleotides and copied to messenger RNA which later is transcribed into a sequence of amino acids that make a protein. When a gene is expressed, it means that the information it held has been used to make a protein. However, the DNA alone can not express itself, so the whole process of making a protein from the information from the DNA sequence is orchestrated by different proteins that participate in different parts of the process of expressing a gene. So, DNA makes proteins, but proteins also take part in replication, translation, and transcription of DNA.
Different cells in different tissues express different genes and make different proteins. So, for example, the muscle cells express the genes for proteins needed to make muscle tissue like myosin and the cells in the lens of the eye express the protein crystalline necessary for forming this part of the eye.

Answer:

B is correct

Explanation:

This is because in DNA, purines (A and G), pair with pyrimidines (C and T), and  more specifically, adenine pairs with thymine and cytosine pairs with guanine. Per this base pairing, B should be the right answer.

Why do you think we have different Biomes in the
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

Each biome has a unique set of environmental conditions and plants and animals that have adapted to those conditions. The major land biomes have names like tropical rainforest, grasslands, desert, temperate deciduous forest, taiga (also called coniferous or boreal forest), and tundra.

Explanation:

A biome is different from an ecosystem. An ecosystem is the interaction of living and nonliving things in an environment. A biome is a specific geographic area notable for the species living there. A biome can be made up of many ecosystems. For example, an aquatic biome can contain ecosystems such as coral reefs and kelp forests.

Is Solid waste point source pollution or non point source pollution?
Yanka [14]

Answer:

Nonpoint-source pollution is the opposite of point-source pollution, with pollutants released in a wide area. As an example, picture a city street during a thunderstorm. As rainwater flows over asphalt, it washes away drops of oil that leaked from car engines, particles of tire rubber, dog waste, and trash. The runoff goes into a storm sewer and ends up in a nearby river. Runoff is a major cause of nonpoint-source pollution. It is a big problem in cities because of all the hard surfaces, including streets and roofs. The amount of pollutants washed from a single city block might be small, but when you add up the miles and miles of pavement in a big city you get a big problem.

In rural areas, runoff can wash sediment from the roads in a logged-over forest tract. It can also carry acid from abandoned mines and flush pesticides and fertilizer from farm fields. All of this pollution is likely to wind up in streams, rivers, and lakes.

Airborne pollutants are major contributors to acid rain. It forms in the atmosphere when sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides combine with water. Because acid rain results from the long-range movement of those pollutants from many factories and power plants, it is considered nonpoint-source pollution.
