Some of your DNA may not code for any protein and has no known function in gene regulation; it is sometimes referred to as "junk

" DNA. How do nucleotide sequences of "junk DNA" evolve?

Answer: They evolve through genetic drift.

Explanation: <u>Junk DNA refers to noncoding sections of a genome</u>. It consists of repeated segments scattered randomly throughout the genome generated through transposition or movement of sections of DNA to different positions in the genome.

Genetic drift is the change in the frequency of an allele in a population due to random sampling of organisms. This process is caused by spontaneous mutations and may cause the alleles to disappear completely and thereby reduce genetic variation. <u>Many of these genetic alterations are in regions of "junk DNA"</u>

The amino acids of a growing polypeptide chain are held together by what kind of bond during the elongation stage of translation
kifflom [539]

Answer: Peptide bond

Explanation: A peptide bond is the covalent chemical bond  bond that holds together two amino acids which occurs when the carboxylic group of one molecule reacts with the amino group of the other molecule, linking the two molecules and releasing a water molecule catalyzed by peptidyl transferase, an RNA-based enzyme  integrated into the growing chain.

In the elongation stage ie when Long chain polypeptides are forming , peptide bonds  are formed by linking many amino acids to each other. These peptide bonds of amino acids are  relatively unstable, and  can break spontaneously in a slow process as can be seen especially  in enzymes of living organisms in the making and breaking of bonds.

An increase in the volume of forests and phytoplankton would lead to a reduction in free "blank" , which in turn could cause a d
lord [1]

Answer: Carbon dioxide

Explanation:

The forests and phytoplankton are carbon sinks, which absorbs the green house gas carbon dioxide from the atmosphere for photosynthesis. The carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and water are used as reactant in photosynthesis to yield carbohydrates and oxygen as products. Thus the carbon dioxide level in atmosphere decreases. This is necessary for controlling pollution in the environment and reducing the environmental temperature as carbon dioxide can make the environment warm.
