Answer:

1.

mRNA - Messenger RNA: Encodes amino acid sequence of a polypeptide.

tRNA - Transfer RNA: Brings amino acids to ribosomes during translation.

rRNA - Ribosomal RNA: With ribosomal proteins, makes up the ribosomes, the organelles that translate the mRNA.

2.

Transcription is the process by which DNA is copied (transcribed) to mRNA, which carries the information needed for protein synthesis. Transcription takes place in two broad steps. First, pre-messenger RNA is formed, with the involvement of RNA polymerase enzymes.

3.

During translation, which is the second major step in gene expression, the mRNA is "read" according to the genetic code, which relates the DNA sequence to the amino acid sequence in proteins. Each group of three bases in mRNA constitutes a codon, and each codon specifies a particular amino acid (hence, it is a triplet code). The mRNA sequence is thus used as a template to assemble—in order—the chain of amino acids that form a protein.

Because of the rapid rate of reproduction, the chances of survival for a species that produces ________ is greater.
Dima020 [189]

Answer: The correct answer for the fill in the blank is Asexually.

Asexually reproducing organisms have rapid rate of reproduction as only a single parent is involved in this. Also, there is no formation and fusion of gametes in this mode of reproduction.

They produce larger number of offsprings through rapid rate of reproduction. By doing so they have larger chances of survival.  

For instance, if a part of bacterial species population is wiped out through viral infection, bacteria can compensate this loss by the rapid rate of reproduction. This increases their chances of survival.

John had unattached earlobes like his father, but his mother has attached earlobes. What is johns genotype with unattached being
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Genotype refers to the complete genetic make-up and can also be referred to as the alleles an organism carries on a particular gene.

John's genotype with unattached being dominant is Aa.

  • Using A to represent the alleles
  • Since his mother has attached earlobes, her condition can only be inherited in the recessive condition (aa).
  • So for John to have an unattached earlobe, his father has to be either AA or Aa.
  • Therefore John's genotype would be Aa
