The correct answer is C. 36

Explanation:

In genetics, a nucleotide refers to the basic units that form genetical material. On the other hand, a codon refers to a sequence of three nucleotides in the mRNA or messenger RNA which are a set of molecules that take genetical information from ADN to the ribosome of the cell. This implies in the case of a 12 mRNA codons there are 36 nucleotides as each of the codons contains three nucleotides which means by multiplying the number of codons by three (number of nucleotides) it is possible to know the total number of nucleotides in an RNA sequence or in this case 12 (codons) x 3 (nucleotides) = 36 nucleotides.

List 3 ways muscle action may be determined.
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

The muscle action can be determined by:

* Prime Movers and antagonist: Prime movers are also called the agonist, it is the muscle that provides the force that drives the action. Regarding to the antagonist muscle, it is the opposite to a prime mover as it provides resistance or reverse in a given movement. They are paired up on opposite sides of a joint.

* Synergists: There are one (or more) synergists involved in an action, the are muscles that help the prime mover when it is playing its role.

* Stabilizers: Their fuction is to keep bones immobile when it is needed. For example, the muscle of your back, they are stabilizers when the keep your posture sturdy.

What part of the rotifer is responsible for crushing food?
frozen [14]

Answer:

Rotifers are specialists at living in habitats where water dries up regularly.

The Monogononta, which have males, produce fertilised 'resting eggs' which can resist desiccation (drought) for long periods.[11]

The Bdelloids, who have no males, contract into an inert form and lose almost all body water, a process known as cryptobiosis. Bdelloids can also survive the dry state for long periods: the longest well-documented dormancy is nine years. After they have dried, they may be revived by adding water. In this, and several other ways, they are a unique group of animals.[12]

Explanation:

The front has a ring of cilia circling the mouth. This gave the rotifers their old name of "wheel animalules". There is a protective lorica round its body, and a foot. Inside the lorica are the usual organs in miniturised form: a brain, an eye-spot, jaws, stomach, kidneys, urinary bladder.

Rotifers have a number of unusual features. Biologists suppose that these peculiarities are adaptations to their small size and the transient (fast changing) nature of its habitats.

Kyle concludes that the cell must be a plant cell. How does Kyle know that the cell is a plant cell and not an animal cell?
Mnenie [13.5K]

Kile should know the answer because of the morphology (part of biology that studies the estructure and the form of something). The plant cell presents a rectangular form, while the animal's cells presents a round form.

There are other main differences. As their parts and the size. Before I explain that remember that a cell can be of two types eukaryotic (cell with nucleus) and prokaryote (cell with no nucleus). In the other they can be neurons, nefrons, etc...

The plant cell contains for example chloroplasts, cell wall and vascuoles; while animal's don't.  Both of them have nucleus, cell plants are generally larger than animals. Those are the main differences.

Thankyou.

Sorry for my bad english, It's not my native language.
