"It has been demonstrated that ectotherms (such as insects and reptiles) in warm climates tolerate higher temperatures than ecto

therms in cooler climates. Angilletta hypothesized that urban heat islands could lead to similar differences in heat tolerance between urban and rural populations of leaf-cutter ants. He predicted that ants in urban areas would tolerate heat better than ants in nearby rural areas.Select the two best experimental designs for comparing the thermal tolerance of ants in urban areas to ants in nearby rural areas."A. Measure the heat tolerance of many ants of the same species as a function of the distance they live from a city center B. Measure the heat tolerance of 5 ants from an urban area and 5 ants from a rural area C. Measure the heat tolerance of one species of ant from an urban area and the heat tolerance of a different species of ant from a rural area D. Measure the feeding activity of many ants of the same species from rural and urban areas in the same region E. Measure the heat tolerance of many ants of the same species from a city center and from a rural area in the same region F. Measure the heat tolerance of many ants of the same species from urban areas in the north and south of the United States

Explain why an mRNA strand composed of only one uracil nucleotide did conclusively prove that the DNA code was a triplet code.
tatuchka [14]

The discordance between the number of nucleic acid bases and the number of amino acids immediately eliminates the possibility of a code of one base per amino acid. In fact, even two nucleotides per amino acid (a doublet code) could not account for 20 amino acids (with four bases and a doublet code, there would only be 16 possible combinations [42 = 16]). Thus, the smallest combination of four bases that could encode all 20 amino acids would be atriplet code. However, a triplet code produces 64 (43 = 64) possible combinations, or codons. Thus, a triplet code introduces the problem of there being more than three times the number of codons than amino acids. Either these "extra" codons produce redundancy, with multiple codons encoding the same amino acid, or there must instead be numerous dead-end codons that are not linked to any amino acid.

Preliminary evidence indicating that the genetic code was indeed a triplet code came from an experiment by Francis Crick and Sydney Brenner (1961). This experiment examined the effect of frameshift mutations on <span>protein synthesis</span>. Frameshift mutations are much more disruptive to the genetic code than simple base substitutions, because they involve a base insertion or deletion, thus changing the number of bases and their positions in a gene. For example, the mutagen proflavine causes frameshift mutations by inserting itself between DNA bases. The presence of proflavine in a DNA molecule thus interferes with the molecule's replication such that the resultant DNA copy has a base inserted or deleted.

Crick and Brenner showed that proflavine-mutated bacteriophages (viruses that infect bacteria) with single-base insertion or deletion mutations did not produce functional copies of the protein encoded by the mutated gene. The production of defective proteins under these circumstances can be attributed to misdirected translation. Mutant proteins with two- or four-nucleotide insertions or deletions were also nonfunctional. However, some mutant strains became functional again when they accumulated a total of three extra nucleotides or when they were missing three nucleotides. This rescue effect provided compelling evidence that the genetic code for one amino acid is indeed a three-base, or triplet, code.

Why is the metric system important?
Alex73 [517]
It's important because it helps you measure things. The prefixes are telling you the distance or meters, etc.

Most enzymes fall into which group?
Rus_ich [418]
I am pretty much sure that C. Lyases is the answer.

Let me give some information about this.

Lyases are the main groups which show peculiarity in having more than several categorised groups having more enzymes than the other four.

Hydrolase does not fit this bill instead they contain less categorised groups.

Other two groups are not even having that much groups.

Hope helps ...
