Answer:

Nucleic acids direct the synthesis amino acids, which are building blocks of proteins

Explanation:

Nucleic acids are polynucleotides made up of monomers called nucleotides. RNA and DNA are the two types of nucleic acids. The nucleotides they are made up of are composed of the pentose sugar (deoxyribose or Ribose), phosphate group and nitrogenous bases (Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine and Thymine/Uracil). Proteins are also polymers that are made up of monomers called amino acids joined together in a long chain.

DNA (nucleic acid) is the storage molecule of the genetic material in cells of living organism. This genetic material (DNA) contains segments that encodes functional products (proteins). The genetic material is expressed through the processes of transcription (DNA is used to synthesize RNA) and translation (RNA directs the synthesis of amino acids, which are arranged in a sequence to produce a particular protein).

In a nutshell, the nucleic acid (RNA and DNA) encodes or contains information for the synthesis of proteins.

Which person would more likely be a candidate for a surgery? Middle ear damage or inner ear damage?

mel-nik [20]

Explanation:

candidate 4 inner ear surgery = inner ear

because inner ear is what helps you hear sound, more so than outer ear.

outer ear= ( like a speaker to capture sound).

inner ear = complex structures & bones to help process sound to brain...

depending on circumstances, drs may let each structure heal b4 next surgery, takes 6 wks

or more 2 heal if all goes as planned.

shud take a year 2 complete healing. meaning ; drainage tubes have 2 b inserted for drainage of infectious substances.

start with inner 1st then outward. protecting inner structures..

N snails, the shell may either coil to the right or the left. coiling to the right is dominant. a homozygous recessive female sn

larisa [96]

So first off homozygous means that both alleles are the same
If coiling to the right is dominant and to the left is recessive let capital c (C) represent right coiling and let lower case c (c) represent left coiling.
The female who is homozygous recessive must have both recessive alleles
The male who is homozygous must have two dominant alleles
So the cross will be between a CC and a cc
So we set up a Punnett square

We take a look at all the combinations and arrange them

So we find that there is a 25% chance of the offspring having left coiling
