If you were stranded in the ocean, why would drinking sea water not be advisable?

Sea water, also called salt water, has a high concentration of sodium that causes you to actually loose hydration, so while you are consuming liquid, your body feels more dehydrated from the salts leeching the water from your body. This would make a bad situation worse if you are stranded in the ocean, as you would need to conserve all the fresh water you can and keep as hydrated as possible.

What must occur for protein translation to begin? A water molecule must be added to the protein chain. A peptide bond must form
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

A peptide bond must form between subunits of mRNA

Explanation:

Translation occur in the RIBOSOMES and it is the process where protein is produced by reading the genetic code of messenger RNA.

For translation to occur,A peptide bond must form between subunits of mRNA because it is through the formation of peptide bond between subunits of mRNA that the small ribosomal subunit binds to the start of the mRNA sequence. Then a transfer RNA molecule that carry Amino acids methionine binds to the start codon of the mRNA .The start codon in all mRNA molecules has the sequence AUG and codes for methionine.

Cell specialization leads to the diversity of cells in an organism such as the human body that build and allow essential organs and bodily functions to occur. Cell specialization is an essential building block that allows multi-celled and complex organisms to move and function.

Which statement best explains the relationship between HbS allele frequency and malaria endemicity in Africa? When an area is ma
NNADVOKAT [17]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

When an area is holoendemic, the HbS allele frequency is between 0.52 and 4.04.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>HbS allele is the sickle cell hemoglobin allele that provides immunity to malaria. This is because people with the sickle cell allele have a selective advantage in areas where there is a high incidence of malaria.</u></em>
  • Therefore, natural selection will favor the population with HbS allele in a Malaria holoendemic (most individuals are infected) region. The HbS allele frequency in this population is expected to be high.
  • After malaria is cured, the frequency of the HbS allele should decrease in regions with a lot of mosquitoes because having one copy of the HbS allele will no longer be advantageous in these regions.
