Answer:

Small, uneven, fire resistant and unpleasant tasting leaves.

Explanation:

The chaparral biome has hot temperatures, droughts, high winds, and wildfires and thus the plants present in this biome need to have characteristics that will help them to survive these conditions.

The coyote brush has the following adaptations :

1. Small, uneven shaped leaves covered with a waxy coating to holds water during droughts.

2. The leaves are fire resistant as they have a chemical makeup which reduces their flammability.

3. The leaves have an unpleasant taste to keep animals away.

This isn’t multiply choice right? I believe it’s “they stay low to the ground”
Hope that helps

Why can you not prove a hypothesis

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

To conclude, you cannot prove a hypothesis because you can never generalise the results to the whole population and foresee the results will always be the same in the future. You can however, reject the null hypothesis consistently, through statistical hypothesis testing so that the theory becomes highly likely to be true, but not proven.

List several characteristics of class Chondrichthyes that separate it from class Agnatha and class Osteichthyes.

Rasek [7]

The Chondrichthyes are the cartilaginous fishes including the sharks, rays,skates and chimeras. The Osteichthyes are the bony fish. Both of these groups became established during the Devonian Period about 400 million years ago. The Chondrichthyes differ from the Osteichthyes in many respects, including their

Which reflex is triggered by food in the stomach, relaxes the ileocecal valve, and allows residue into the cecum?

kari74 [83]

Gastroileal reflex is triggered by food in the stomach, relaxes the ileocecal valve, and allows residue into the cecum.

The gastroileal reflex is triggered by the presence of food in the stomach as well as gastric peristalsis.

Gastroileal reflex brings about peristalsis in the ileum as well as the opening of the ileocecal valve, which in turn facilitates the emptying of the ileal constituents into the large intestine or colon.

The gastroileal reflex is one among the three extrinsic reflexes of the gastrointestinal tract. The other two include the gastrocolic reflex as well as the enterogastric reflex.

This type of gastrointestinal reflex is moderated by the vagus nerve and gastrin.

In order to make a protein the messenge on DNA must be converted to what?

Soloha48 [4]

Explanation:

-mRNA or messenger RNA

DNA wound into chromosomes within the nucleus is unwound, unzipped and read by enzymes in a complex series of steps known as transcription. The message on DNA, called genes is copied by RNA polymerase, to form mRNA complementary sequence to that of the DNA strand.

Further Explanation:

Nucleic acids are comprised of smaller units called nucleotides and function as storage for the body’s genetic information. These monomers include ribonucleic acid (RNA) or deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). They differ from other macromolecules since they don’t provide the body with energy. They exist solely to encode and protein synthesis.

Basic makeup: C, H, O, P; they contain phosphate group 5 carbon sugar, these nitrogen bases which may contain single to double bond ring.

Nucleic acids like DNA stores all of an organism’s genetic information. Nucleic acid molecules comprise the nitrogenous bases Guanine, Adenine, Cytosine and Thymine. Conversely, RNA nucleotides are Adenine, Guanine, Cysteine and Uracil. These pair up as base pairs due to their varied structure- largely influenced by the location of N molecule.

In certain combinations, these bases form codons which act as instructions for protein synthesis. Codons are three nucleotide bases encoding an amino acid or signal at the beginning or end of protein synthesis.

RNA codons determine certain amino acids, so the order in which the bases occur within in the codon sequence designates which amino acid is to be made bus with the four RNA nucleotides (Adenine, Guanine, Cysteine and Uracil). Up to 64 codons (with 3 as stop codons) determine amino acid synthesis. The stop codons ( UAG UGA UAA) terminate amino acid/ protein synthesis while the start codon AUG begins protein synthesis.

Thus, these contribute to the broad diversity of living organisms, as varied combinations of these 64 codons can produce many proteins which can be organized into cells, tissues and organisms.
