Answer:

Explanation:

Most (but not all) biological macro molecules are polymers, which are any molecules constructed by linking together many smaller molecules, called monomers. If we were to string many carbohydrate monomers together we could make a polyacrylamide like starch. Proteins can be converted into energy, but your body prefers to use them for more essential jobs. Proteins build and repair every tissue in your body. They’re used to make hormones, enzymes, hemoglobin and antibodies, and they’re responsible for functions such as muscle contraction. The proteins in your body are made from 20 different amino acids. Starch or asylum is a polymeric carbohydrate consisting of numerous glucose units joined by glycogen bonds. This polyacrylamide is produced by most green plants as energy storage.

polymer: A relatively large molecule consisting of a chain or network of many identical or similar monomers chemically bonded to each other.

I believe the answer is B. They were no longer able to acquire the necessary characteristics for survival in a changing environment. I think it is B. because trilobites mostly went extinct because of the event that wiped out 95% of Earth's species. So they didn't have the characteristics to survive. Hope I helped!

Answer:

The answer is nuclear fusion

Explanation:

Solar energy is created by nuclear fusion that takes place in the sun. Fusion occurs when protons of hydrogen atoms violently collide in the sun's core and fuse to create a helium atom.

1. What is the relationship between chromosomes and DNA? The chromosome is a molecule formed by a chain of DNA associated with proteins. Together, they form a group of molecules directly responsible for heredity.

2. What is heredity? It is the biological process where the genes present in a DNA are transmitted by parents to their children, through the division of gametes. These genes carry the codes that form the genotypic and phenotypic characteristics, which allows a similarity between parents and children to occur.

3. What is the role of proteins associated with the DNA molecule that makes up the gene? Proteins are responsible for keeping the DNA line tightly compressed, maintaining the chromosome structure. In addition, they control the activities of the genes present in this DNA molecule, being essential in maintaining heredity.

4. How do chromosomes participate in gene transmission? As mentioned above, genes are part of DNA and DNA is the molecule that makes up chromosomes, in this case, chromosomes are molecules loaded with genes. In the human body, cells have 46 pairs of chromosomes, with the exception of gametes that have half that number. During the reproductive process, the gametes (reproductive cells) divide and produce a new being. The mother's gametes unite with the father's gametes to form a new being. Each gamete has 23 chromosomes, which contain the genes responsible for transmitting the characteristics.
