Answer:

Option C, Lungs

Explanation:

When silica dust is inhaled it causes silicosis which in severe cases is disabling. When Silica enters the lungs , scar tissues are formed which lead to difficulty in taking oxygen. This problem usually arises when crystalline silica is inhaled continuously for a period of 15 to 20 years. Its symptoms are not visible and thus can only be determined through chest X-Ray. However, after prolonged exposure lung dysfunctions causes breathing problem, fatigue, chest pain or  respiratory failure

Hence, option C is correct

Nimfa-mama [501]
Data organization refers to the method of classifying and organizing sets of data to make them more useful. Analysis is a detailed examination of something. It is what you do with the data you collected. Based on this, we can say that B, counting the number of fish for each species, and D, transferring the data from the fish counter to a computer program would both be examples of data organization and analysis.

The genetic code was originally deciphered, in part, by experiments in which synthetic polynucleotides with repeating sequences
Leni [432]

Answer:

Translation is the process in which ribosomes in the cytoplasm or endoplasmic reticulum synthesize proteins. The process starts where the mRNAs (messenger RNA) copies the DNA and sends this message to the ribosome. In the ribosome for each triplet of nucleotide an amino acid is bond to the growing chain of amino acid that will eventually form a protein.

You can look up for the translation for the genetic on the internet. Which tells you which triplet codifies for an specific amino acid.

If the code reads. CGC GCG CGC GCG etc.

The result would be an a peptide/protein containing alternating arginines and alanines, because CGC codifies for Arginine and GCG codifies for alanine.
