Which of the following is true about nucleic acids? I. Nucleic acids always consist of a five-carbon sugar, a nitrogenous base,

and one or more phosphate groups. II. Both DNA, which stores genetic information and encodes protein sequences, and RNA, which is involved in the direct production of proteins, are nucleic acids. III. Nucleic acids are usually insoluble in water and are used for long term energy storage. IV. Glucose, cellulose, and starch are examples of nucleic acids found in most cells.

Answer:

II. Both DNA, which stores genetic information and encodes protein sequences, and RNA, which is involved in the direct production of proteins, are nucleic acids.

Explanation:

Nucleic acids are essential biomolecules for all living organisms. They carry genetic information and decode the production of proteins, necessary for the cell to reproduce. While they are formed of five-carbon sugars, a nitrogenous base they only have one phosphate group. They do not store energy. Also, glucose, cellulose and starch are not nucleic acids, they are carbohydrates.

Anni [7]

Answer:

variation

Explanation:

Genetic variation is what makes us all unique as a result of subtle changes in our DNA.  The Theory of Evolution is a process in which organisms change over time as a result of adapting to their environment.  Charles Darwin came up with the term Survival of the fittest, in any environment plants and animals from the same species show natural variation in their physical characteristics, like neck lengths in giraffes.  Darwin suggested that the plants and animals best suited to the environment will survive and pass on their characteristics to their offspring. Over time, the characteristics of the surviving members of the species will become predominant.

Example: Peppered moth

In London in the 1800's, 98% of peppered moths had light colored bodies and only 2% were dark.  The light moths were the same color as the trees so they could easily hide from hungry birds and not get eaten.  The dark moths however were easy to see and were eaten.  Then came the factories and smoke of the industrial evolution and many trees turned black with soot and suddenly the dark moths were able to survive better as they now looked like the trees and the light colored moths were easier to spot and eat.  By 1895 the dark peppered moths made up 95% of the population and the light colored moths only 5%.  This is an example of natural selection, because of the gene that makes the moths dark, it allowed them to flourish when the environment changed, they adapted, reproduced and survived.

Which of the following is important in accumulating and removing sand that result in shifting barrier islands?
elena55 [62]

Answer:

D. Longshore currents

Explanation:

Longshore currents are characterized as the sediment transport that occurs in the surf zone, due to the oblique incidence of the waves, along the beach. A current develops between the beach and the surf zone parallel to the coast, normally between 0.3 and 1 m / s. It is this process that is responsible for accumulating and removing sand that results in displacement of barrier islands.

Overlearning"" in habituation (or below-zero habituation) can occur if __________________. A. several different stimuli are used
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

C. habituation trials continue after the response has disappeared.

Explanation:

habituation involves the complete elimination of a particular response (i.e, zero frequency of occurrence). If the stimulus cintinues to be presented for an additional number of trials, then, although no further changes occur, the response will exhibit lower levels of recovery (e.g, spontaneous recovery is reduced) as if the response would have fallen below a zero frequency.
