Answer:
b: many genes code for RNAs that function directly in the cell
Explanation:
<em>The central dogma</em> theory describes the basic framework for gene expression in living organisms. Genetic information from DNA is encoded or transcribed as RNA which then becomes translated as proteins.
The processes that take place for gene to be successfully expressed are;
- Replication
- Transcription
- Translation
<em>Replication</em> is a process whereby DNA makes a copy of itself to be distributed in daughter cells during cell division.
<em>Transcription</em> is the process whereby genetic information in DNA is encoded as RNAs. The RNAs are short-lived as they are quickly utilized in protein synthesis or <em>translation </em>process.
Hence, the RNAs do not function directly in the cells but mere intermediaries in the synthesis of proteins.
<em>The correct option is b.</em>
Answer:
The correct match is given below:
Explanation:
- A flower containing a pistil, stamen, calyx, and corolla – Complete flower. When a flower consists of essential whorls pistil and stamen and accessory whorls calyx and corolla, the flower is said to be complete.
- The collective term for the petals of a flower- Corolla. The corolla is a accessory whorl which consist s of its unit called petal.
- It has pistils, but no stamens - Female flower. A flower with only pistil is called unisexual pistillate flower.
- A stalk which supports the anther – Filament. A typical stamen consists of an anther, connective and a filament.
- A flower that lacks one or more of the following parts: pistil, stamen, calyx, or corolla corolla.—Incomplete flower. A flower which lacks any of the essential or accessory whorl is called incomplete flower.
- A flower that has male parts only – Male flower. A flower with only stamen is called unisexual staminate flower.
- A spore produced by meiosis – Meiospores. Spores can produced by mitosis or meiosis. If it is produced as a result of mitosis it is said to be mitospores.
Answer:
B. only the animals living in water
Answer:
axon; dendrite
Explanation:
A neuron has three main parts. These are axons, dendrites, and a cell body. Synapse is the site of communication between two neurons. The first neuron of a synapse is called the presynaptic neuron (sending neuron) while the second one is called the postsynaptic neuron (receiving). The axon of the presynaptic neuron and the dendrites of the postsynaptic neuron communicate with each other at the synapse as the axon of the first neuron delivers the nerve impulse away from the cell body.
Dendrites function as the receiving or input portions of a neuron. The plasma membranes of dendrites have numerous receptor sites for binding chemical messengers from the presynaptic neuron.
