Answer:

converted into fat and stored in adipose tissue

Explanation:

When protein is taken in excess amount, because it cannot be stored in the body, it can be broken down to amino acids, which is further used as carbon skeletons to synthesize fats, which is then further stored in the adipose tissues.

When the body is not receiving enough calories from other nutrient sources like carbohydrates and fats, the available protein is the used as energy to meet the body's energy demands, by converting it to fat.

Note that, excess intake of protein can be harmful to the body.

egoroff_w [7]

This would be an invasive species which is not native to the environment. It can cause harm either because it over grows (if it's a plant.) Or if it's an animal, it will reproduce and most likely take over the environment. This is because it feels the need to compete for materials, but ends either taking most or all of it. Which then ruins the food chain depending on it's diet. If it's eating a plant, then other animals that eat that plant no longer have any food. And vice versa if it's feeding on animals. Other predators, no longer have their food.

In a diploid individual, one chromosome carries A and B genes, and the homologous chromosome carries different forms (alleles) o
Helen [10]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

This involves a dihybrid inheritance I.e. two genes are being passed on. During meiosis, specifically, the Prophase stage, homologous chromosomes (similar but non-identical chromosomes received from each parent) line side by side. According to the question, one chromosome contains A and B alleles and its homologue, received by the other parent carries a and b alleles. This means that the diploid individual has a genotype AaBb for that gene.

According to Mendel's law of independent assortment, the alleles separate independently of one another into gametes. I.e. allele A and a separates into the gametes without affecting alleles B and b of the other gene.

Crossing-over, which is the exchange of chromosomal segment occurs between the two homologues. Hence, the exchange of chromosomal segments containing alleles in the individual will possibly produce four gametes with the genotypes: AB, Ab, aB, ab.

If the researcher compares mRNA from inside the nucleus to mRNA from the ribosomes, what will be found
wolverine [178]

Shorter mRNA will be found in the ribosomes when comparisons are made

with the  mRNA from inside the nucleus.

<h3>Ribosomes</h3>

Ribosomes are organelles which acts as sites for protein synthesis. This is

where the mRNA gets converted into polypeptides which have longer

chains.

Ribosomes have a shorter mRNA in the ribosome which becomes longer in

the nucleus after synthesis of larger polypeptides.  this is the reason why

there is a variation in the size of the mRNA found in the ribosome and

nucleus.

When a cell divides by mitosis the new cells are genetically identical. What causes the cells to be genetically identical?
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

Explanation:

Mitosis. Mitosis is used to produce daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cells. The cell copies - or 'replicates' - its chromosomes, and then splits the copied chromosomes equally to make sure that each daughter cell has a full set.
