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.

Whta is fetilisation and what are the types of fertilisation

The action or process of fertilizing an egg, female animal, or plant, involving the fusion of male and female gametes to form a zygote. The gametes that participate in fertilisation of plants are the sperm (male), and the egg cell, and in flowering plants a second fertilisation event involves another sperm cell and the central cell which is a second female gamete. In flowering plants there are two sperm from each pollen grain.

HELP PLEASE!! Field test is done on the milkweed in the wild and the clothianidin content per plant was about 1 ppb. larvae spen
MrMuchimi

Answer:

In the question it is given that the milkweed with clothianidin above the 1ppb concentration will result in less successful hatching of monarch butterfly eggs. Along with the data from the experiments, the exposure of clothianidin on the monarch habitats will lead to a decrease in the population of the monarch butterfly initially. Then in later generations if any mutation occurs and a resistant butterfly is developed then the population of the monarch butterfly will recover. But without this mutation the population size will be reduced and the size and weight of the butterfly will also get reduced.
