The water repellant properties of waxes is very useful in the leaves of some plants, in the feathers of birds and also in cuticle of insects. Waxes in plant leaves reduce the amount of water that is lost by the leaves. The wax that is present in the birds' feather prevent them from getting wet with water.
Green, like grass and trees...?
Answer:
The Punnett square is a tabular summary of possible combinations of maternal alleles with paternal alleles. These tables can be used to examine the genotypical outcome probabilities of the offspring of a single trait (allele), or when crossing
Photosynthesis takes in carbon dioxide and releases oxygen as a product, so the answer is D.
Answer:
The biological level of organization represented by all of the three steps of gene expression products is <em>the central dogma of molecular biology.</em>
Explanation:
DNA is divided up into functional units called genes. Each of them provides instructions for a functional product, that is, a molecule nedeed to perform a job in the cell. In many cases, the functional product of a gene is a protein.
The functional products of most known genes are polypeptides. Genes that specify polypeptides are called protein-coding genes.
Not all genes specify polypeptides. Instead, some provide instructions to build functional RNA molecules, such as transfer RNAs and ribosomal RNAs that play roles in translation.
The construction of polypeptide involves two major steps: transcription and translation. During the transcription, the DNA sequence of gene is copied to make an RNA molecule and in translation the sequence of mRNA is decoded to specify the amino acid sequence of the polypeptide.
