The best answer is pneumatophores.

In the environment where mangroves grow, oxygen is very limited. This necessitates mangrove root system to take up oxygen from the atmosphere. For this purpose, mangrove species have specialized above ground roots called pneumatophores or breathing roots.

In some species, these roots are pencil sized and peg-like while in others they look like a knee. These roots have numerous pores through which oxygen enters into the underground tissues. In some plants, buttress roots function as breathing roots and also provide mechanical support.

Kruka [31]

The answer is hygrometer, will.

Your hygrometer indicates that the relative humidity is very high. Rain probably will occur.
Hygrometer is an instrument used for measuring the relative humidity in the atmosphere. If the relative humidity is very high, then it rain will probably occur and vice versa.
Anemometer is an instrument used for measuring wind speed, thus it cannot be the right answer.

The neurons that carry information from the receptors in the eyes, ears, and skin to the brain and spinal cord are called _____

belka [17]

Answer:

Sensory neurons

Explanation:

Neurons are specialized somatic cells which are responsible of conveying stimuli from the enviroment.

They are made up of three parts; cell body, dendrites and an axon.

Sensory neurons are one of the three types of neurons.

They are responsible of carrying stimuli from external body parts to the central nervous system.

On the other hand, motor neurons carries signals from the brain to other body organs.

The third type is called interneuron, it is located in the brain and nowhere else. It acts as a linkage between other neurons and the brain.

Instructions: 1 Using the DNA sequence, make a complementary RNA strand from both the human and the cow. Write the RNA directly

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

Please find the complete table attached as an image

Explanation:

This task is describing the processes of transcription and translation, which are the two processes involved in gene expression. The DNA of a human and cow is given in the table of the attached image and we're asked to transcribe into a complementary RNA, and subsequently translate into an amino acid using the CODON table (genetic code).

- Transcription is the process whereby DNA is used as a template for the synthesis of RNA based on complementary base pairing i.e. A-U, G-C, T-A etc.

- Translation is the process whereby RNA transcript is used to synthesize an amino acid sequence. The mRNA is read in a group of three nucleotides called CODON, where each of this codon specifies an amino acid.

The table has been completed and attached below. Note that in the amino acids row;

GLY means Glycine

ILE means Isoleucine

VAL means Valine

GLN means Glutamine

CYS means Cysteine

THR means Threonine

SER means Serine

PHE means Phenylalanine

ALA means Alanine

LEU means Leucine
