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.

What can happen to solar radiation when it enters Earth’s atmosphere?
Liula [17]
The answer is A.It is absorbed by Earth.

When the atmosphere is heated by the solar radiation, it radiates heat back to the Earth's surface increasing the Earth's surface temperature. This is also what causes the greenhouse effect and urban heat island.

Hope it helps!

Define bronchiole and alveoli.​
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

\huge\purple{\overline{\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad \ \ \ }}

Your bronchioles are some of the smallest airways in your lungs. Inhaled air passes through tiny ducts from the bronchioles into elastic air sacs (alveoli). The alveoli are surrounded by the alveolar-capillary membrane, which normally prevents liquid in the capillaries from entering the air sacs.
