1.A scientist wants to prevent a culture of live cells from producing a particular protein. Which of the following will the scie

ntist MOST LIKELY modify to prevent the production of the protein? *
A.the DNA in the nucleus
B.an enzyme in the lysosomes
C.the polysaccharides in the cytoplasm
D.a phosopholipid in the cell membrane
2.Which of the following statements explains why the insertion of a nucleotide into a DNA sequence can result in a phenotypic change in the offspring? *
A.The DNA would no longer fit through the nuclear membrane to get to ribosomes for translation
B.The sequence of nitrogenous bases in the DNA would no longer code for the correct amino acids
C.Fatty acids would no longer attach to the DNA strands to transcribe the DNA
D.Antibodies would no longer recognize the DNA as belonging to the cell and would destroy the DNA
3.If the producers in a food web were removed, which of the following changes would most likely occur? *
A.The entire food web would collapse over time.
B.The food web would depend on the decomposers for energy
C.The consumers would begin making energy for the food web
D.The populations of the remaining organisms in the food web would increase
4.Prolonged periods of drought in an area cause decreases in plant population sizes. Which of the following statements describes how the decreases in plant population sizes then affect other populations in the area? *
A.Omnivore population sizes increase, and herbivore population sizes increase
B.Omnivore population sizes decrease, and carnivore population sizes increase
C.Herbivore population sizes increase, and carnivore population sizes decrease
D.Herbivore population sizes decrease, and carnivore population sizes decrease
5.The oceans have become increasingly acidic in recent years as the water absorbs more and more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. This increased acidity interferes with the ability of corals to maintain their skeletons. In addition, an increase in water temperatures worldwide is causing coral bleaching, another condition that threatens the health of coral reefs. Based on this information, which of the following would most improve the health of coral reefs? *
A.reducing the use of fossil fuels
B.eliminating nuclear power plants
C.removing more natural gas embedded in rocks
D.replacing offshore oil drills with onshore oil drills

1. Answer:   A

Explanation: For a cell to form proteins, the specific types of proteins are coded for by the genes in DNA (found in the chromosomes of the nucleus). To produce proteins, the genes are first transcribed by RNA polymerase to form messenger-RNA. The mRNA is then translated into proteins by ribosomes in the cytoplasm of the cell.

2. Answer: B

Explanation: Translation of genes into proteins is dependent on the sequence of nucleotides. They are translated in sequences of 3 nucleotides known  as codons. Therefore adding a nucleotide on a piece of DNA causes what is referred to as a frame-shift mutation. The 3 sequences (of codons) is interrupted and shifted by one nucleotide. Therefore, the codons change and the amino acids translated will also change.

3. Answer: A

Expanation: Producers are significant in a food chain because they incorporate the energy of the sun into the food chain. This is why they are at the base of the food chain and have the largest biomass. They are consumed by primary consumers which are consumed by secondary consumers which are consumed by tertiary consumers and so on.  

4. Answer: D

Explanation: Plants are consumed by herbivores. Therefore, a decrease in plant population due to drought was resulted to decrease in herbivore population. This is due to stiff competition by the herbivores for the scarce plant population. Carnivores consume herbivores. Due to a decrease in the herbivore population, then the carnivore population would also decrease.

5. Answer: A

Explanation: Burning of fossil fuels emits carbon dioxide gas which is a greenhouse gas. Greenhouse gas traps infrared wavelength of lights hence warming up the atmosphere, causing global warming. Reduction  in use of fossil fuels will hence alleviate an increase in global temperature hence protect coral in the oceans from bleaching.

Which example describes life in the mesozoic era
Andrew [12]
The web page (below) provides: Mesozoic ("Middle Life") Era
This is the second of three geologic eras squeezed into the Phanerozoic ("Evident Life") Eon that covers the last 10% of Earth's whole geologic history. This is the era we all think of when we imagine the Ancient Earth! Rampaging dinosaurs! Dive-bombing pterodactyls! Endless forests of giant ferns! Erupting Volcanoes! (Sorry, no cave men! They didn't show up until the end of the Cenozoic.)

The Mesozoic Era lasted about 180 million years, from about 245 million years ago to about 65 million years ago. The Mesozoic is divided into just three time periods: the Triassic, the Jurassic, and the Cretaceous. Since lots of things were going on in each time period, we can only summarize the events. You can learn more by going to your library or searching the Internet for words like "Mesozoic" or the names of each of the periods.

In the view above, we see Earth in the middle of the Jurassic Period, in mid-Mesozoic times (sort of a middle-middle view). The supercontinents Gondwanaland and Laurasia collided some time back to form a single super-super continent called Pangea ("All-Earth"). But plate tectonics continues its irresistible motions, and even as we look, Pangea is beginning to break up into the continents we know now. At upper left, North America is just breaking away from the northwest coast of Africa, and the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico are beginning to form. The Appalachian Mountains of the eastern United States are a high, rugged mountain range, something like the Rocky Mountains of today. Over the next fifty million years or so, South America, India, and Antarctica will all break away from Africa and move toward their present positions.

Life is diversifying rapidly, and beginning to look familiar. The dominant animals on both land and sea are reptiles, the most famous of which are the dinosaurs. Dinosaurs began in the Triassic, spread during the Jurassic, and dominated Earth in the Cretaceous. They are so prominent that the Mesozoic is also called "The Age of Reptiles." But dinosaurs are not the only life form around: birds and mammals also appear during the Mesozoic, as well as deciduous trees and flowering plants.

The climate during the Mesozoic is warm; so warm that there are no ice caps at all, even at the poles! Plants grow like crazy in the warmth and moisture, so there is food everywhere for your average hungry 50-ton Ultrasaurus! So what happened to this Dino Paradise? More change! A mass extinction like those in the Paleozoic ended the idyllic Mesozoic Era (if you can call dodging your friendly local T-Rex as idyllic). More than half of all existing life forms disappeared, including virtually all of the dinosaurs. Why? There are many hypotheses, including disease, volcanic eruptions, and giant impacts. (Pay a visit to the Dinosaur Floor to learn more.

seems based on text above, most correct is "A" definitely not "C"

Hyaluronic acid fillers may be longer-lasting than previously described: A case report of delayed filler-associated facial cellu
chubhunter [2.5K]

The most popular injectable augmentation product is a hyaluronic acid-based filler because it is more effective and safe than other injection fillers. Although the problem of infected filler is well established, it is unclear how long the filler will last before being absorbed. A case of hyaluronic acid-based filler-exacerbated facial cellulitis that occurred 2.5 years after filler administration was presented.

<h3>What are Injectable filler ?</h3>

Injectable filler is a soft tissue filler that can be injected into the skin at various depths to smooth out facial wrinkles, add volume to the face, and enhance facial characteristics.

  • When it comes to filling up wrinkles, creases, and sagging skin, hyaluronic acid fillers are a fantastic alternative. The procedure is not overly intrusive, the results show up right away, and it takes six to 18 months to complete.
