Biology
1 answer:
alexandr402 [8]4 years ago
4 0

<u>Answer:</u>

Recent evidence suggest that feathers evolved from scales and suggest that 'feathers and pycnofibers' could be homologous.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • One of the major difficult issue related to bird evolution is the evolution of feathers.
  • Feathers are considered as the most 'complex integumentary structures' which are found in vertebrates.
  • Evolutionary developmental biology suggests that the 'planar scale structure' is been modified for developing into feathers by 'splitting' to form web like structures.
  • Scales and Feathers consist of 'two distinct form of keratin' so it was thought that 'each type was exclusive skin structure' but recent study suggests that they are developmental expressions of same skin structures.

3. Is it possible to determine the DNA sequence from the following amino acid sequence: Leu Pro Arg? Why or Why not
Scrat [10]

Answer:

Each three base sequence of the mRNA, called a codon, is read by the ribosome, and the appropriate amino acid is inserted into the growing protein. If you have only a DNA sequence, to find the corresponding amino acids first transcribe your DNA sequence into an RNA sequence using complimentary base pairing.

Beta-lactam antibiotics, such as penicillins and cephalosporins, fight infection by inhibiting development of the causative bact
Len [333]

Answer:

Cell wall synthesis

Explanation:

Antibiotics are the compounds that work against bacteria and kills bacteria or slow their growth. Every antibiotic have their own mode of action. Beta-lactam antibiotics like penicillin and cephalosporins work on cell wall synthesis.

They stop the synthesis of peptidoglycan by inhibiting the transpeptidation reaction. So when no new cell wall is added into bacteria, holes creates in the cell wall which allows the free movement of solute inside the bacteria cell that results in osmotic lysis of the bacterial cell. Therefore the right answer is cell wall synthesis.
