Answer:

convergent evolution

Explanation:

If we have two species that share a similar trait or look alike a lot, but they live in places isolated from each other, and they only have a very distant relation, then it is a case of convergent evolution. This type of evolution occurs with species that are not closely related, but they live in environments where having the same or very similar traits is advantageous. This can often lead to a confusion when looking at the species only on the outside, and it can be very misleading. As an example we can take the sabretoothed predators that existed in the past. Both the smiloden and the thylacosmilus had large saber like teeth, and even their bodies looked very similar, so one would assume that they are closely related, but that was not the case. The smilodon was part of the cat family, while the thylacosmilus was a marsupial, making them very distantly related. They developed same same and some very similar traits because their environment created the evolutionary pressure for those traits to develop as they were advantageous, despite them evolving in totally different places and separately.

Explain how salinity and temperature affect water density and how the salinity of the oceans can be both increased and decreased
finlep [7]

Answer:

Salinity is the <em><u>salt concentration</u></em> in water. Oceans salinity and temperature affect density of water, Higher the salinity denser the water and Lower the temperature denser the water.

Explanation:

As we go down in the ocean , temperature goes down and denser the water.

Less dense water will be on top and higher the density will be on bottom. Warmer water will be on top.

Salinity <em> increased</em> in ocean on evaporation of sea water and formation of ice in water. Weathering of rocks , formation of soil also add minerals and salt in ocean.

Melting of snow, ice in sea, addition of river freshwater and precipitation of rain <em>decrease </em>the salinity of ocean.

Ciprofloxacin is a potent antibiotic, which is part of the <u>fluorquinolone</u> class. This class has a broad spectrum of activity against various pathogenic micro-organisms that can incapacitate or kill humans and animals.

It is a prime antibiotic for the therapy of complicated urinary tract infections and bacterial diarrhea.

Ciprofloxacin is also an alternative agent for the treatment of various sexually transmitted diseases, as well as osteomyelitis and some cases of wounds.

Ciprofloxacin hydrochloride is an important weapon against bioterrorism for the treatment of the respiratory tract, being the only drug approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) for treatment after exposure to inhaled anthrax.

____________ is translated by the ribosomes and contains the code that specifies the sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide ch
HACTEHA [7]

mRNA (Messenger RNA) is translated by ribosomes and contains the code that specifies the sequence of amino acids in polypeptide chain.

A single-stranded ribonucleic acid molecule is known as messenger RNA(mRNA) plays a major role in <u>translation</u>.

Translation is the method by which an mRNA codes for a certain protein. mRNA provides the template for<u> protein synthesis</u>.

The ribosome translates the mRNA that is produced from the DNA into a chain of certain amino acids and<u> protein synthesis</u> is facilitated by this <u>amino acid</u> sequence.

<u>The genetic code</u>, which connects the DNA sequence to the amino acid sequence of proteins, is used to "read" the mRNA. Each group of three nucleotides in mRNA forms a codon, and each codon corresponds to a particular amino acid (triplet code).

Thus mRNA contains the code that specifies the<u> sequence of amino acids</u> in a polypeptide chain.
