Zepler [3.9K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

4

Explanation:

Codons describe the triplet sequence of bases present in an mRNA that code for proteins. They do this by specifying specific amino acids.

To answer this question, we need to know the genetic code. This can be found in various formats (usually tables) online or in textbooks. An example is attached.

Threonine is an amino acid with the three letter code Thr, and the one letter code T.

As you can see in the table, 4 codons (ACU, ACC, ACA, ACG) code for threonine

What is the main purpose of mitosis? A. to help the cell grow larger B. to divide the cytoplasm C. to separate sister chromatids
denis23 [38]
I think its C. This is because your making two cromatited pairs when doing the process and then pulled apart to make two daughter cells. apart It's not D because that's what raication is. Its not A because your dividing the cell in to two more cells. It's not B because you can't really divide the cytoplasm.

Speculate on how higher sea-surface temperatures (sst) might impact earth's greenhouse effect.
Aleks [24]

The SST or sea surface temperature refers to the temperature of the water close to the surface of the ocean. Sea surface temperature influences the behavior of the atmosphere of the Earth, so their initialization into the atmospheric model is essential. While SST plays a vital role for tropical cyclogenesis, it is also essential in predicting the formation of sea breezes and sea fog.  

The changes in SST reflects the overall trend of warming of the climatic system, and in turn, affects the climate and weather patterns globally. If the SST is too warm, the humidity upsurges and the greenhouse effect enhances.

Compare surface, subsurface, and placer mining in terms of damage to the environment.
vfiekz [6]
Surface mining, which is also known as strip mining, is when soil and rock overlaying mineral deposit is removed. It can cause habitat destruction, air pollution from dust particles, soil erosion and pollution. Subsurface mining is removing deposits from the Earth by drilling underneath layers of rock and dirt. To keep the pathways clear, <span>mining companies have to pump out large amounts of water, which go into surface ecosystems. That disrupts the ecosystem by changing the pH conditions of soil and water sources. Placer mining is mining of stream bed deposits for minerals, a way of obtaining minerals and metal resources. Although, because it is small, causes less damage to the surrounding environment it still can disrupt river ecosystems with pollution and sediments. 
 

I hope this helps!!

How do the respiratory and circulatory depend on each other for gas exchange?
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Haemoglobin in the red blood cells which is one of the components of the circulatory medium, the blood, has a great affinity for oxygen hence transports it around the body during circulation. It is the circulatory system that carries both oxygenated and deoxygenated blood around the body, between the lungs and the heart. The circulatory system takes blood with carbon dioxide to the lungs where oxygen that entered into the body through the nostrils will be exchanged with carbon dioxide in the alveoli. Consequently carbon dioxide will go out of the body through the nostrils via the trachea and haemoglobin in the red blood cells in the blood( blood capillaries) will

carry oxygen which is transported around the body.
