Answer:

Explanation:

Food chain may be a linear sequence of transfer of energy when one organism is being eaten by another organism in an ecosystem. The transfer of energy are often explained by 10% law which states that energy decreases by 10% because it is being transferred from lower to subsequent higher trophic level. there's a limit to the amount of levels that a organic phenomenon can reach this is often due to the subsequent reasons:

1. a big amount of energy is lost thanks to the very fact that organisms undergoes respiration . This lost energy can't be reverted back. Hence, limits the quantity of energy being transferred to the upper trophic levels.

2. a number of the undigested waste is excreted by the organisms. This waste being the a part of biomass gets lost within the environment, which again limit the quantity of overall energy being transmitted to the upper trophic levels.

3. Not all organisms are consumed by other organisms belonging to the distinct trophic levels. a number of them might not survive or die.

Fruit production in anthophytes develops from: a. a female reproductive structure b. a male reproductive structure c. both male

Fed [463]

Answer:

a. a female reproductive structure

Explanation:

Reproduction can be defined as a biological process which typically involves living organisms producing an offspring.

Basically, there are two (2) methods of reproduction and these are;

I. Sexual reproduction: it involves the combination of the genome (gamete) of a male and female living organism during fertilization.

II. Asexual reproduction: it involves the cloning of a living organism to produce an offspring because there is only a single parent.

Antophyte is the division name for flowering plants and they are considered to be the most successful of all the other division of plants in terms of reproduction.

Division Antophyta are classified into two (2) main categories and these includes;

I. Monocot: this group of flowering plants have a single cotyledon. Some examples of monocots are lilies, corns, grasses etc.

II. Dicot: this group of flowering plants have two cotyledon. Some examples of dicots are beans, peas, peanuts, etc.

Basically, fruit production in anthophytes develops from female reproductive structure known as the ovary. Once the ovary is fertilized by a sperm, they ripen into a fruit.

Use the following table to answer the question:

postnew [5]

Translating the code by the table informed, the message found in rna will be CAT-GTA-TGG.

<h3>What is the genetic code of DNA is RNA?</h3>

The genetic code is made up of four bases: adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G) and uracil (U). The combination of these bases determines the amino acid necessary for the formation of a protein.

Translation is a process in which the message contained in the mRNA molecule will be read by the ribosome, decoding the nucleic acid language into the protein language. In this case, we have:

GTA-CAT-ACC

The __________ nervous system transmits messages about sight, sound, smell, taste, and tactile information.

Verdich [7]

The answer is THE SOMATIC NERVOUS SYSTEM.
The somatic nervous system is part of the peripheral nervous system. It is major function is voluntary movement of the muscles and organs and reflex movement. During the processing of voluntary movement, sensory neurons which transmit information about sight, smell, sound, taste and tactile information carry impulses to the brain and the spinal cord.
