Arachadonic acid is a carboxylic acid with a 20 carbon chain and four cis-double bonds. They do not have any functional groups. It is a polyunsaturated fatty acid present in the phospholipids of the membranes in the cells of the body, brain, muscle and liver. Prostaglandins are the active lipids compounds abundant in human tissue. They are a 20 carbon chain saturated fatty acids with a 5 carbon ring forming a cyclopentane. It has one trans-double bond, two hydroxyl functional groups and a ketone functional group.

A gene mutation is a change in the sequence of nucleotides that occurs during cell replication (mitosis and meiosis)within a sin
Shalnov [3]

True

Changes in the transcription of mRNA or the translation of a polypeptide are not considered to be mutations because they are not permanent changes to the cell.

Explanation:

The half-life of mRNA and proteins is short. mRNA has an average of 10 hours of life span while proteins have an average of  several days. Therefore mutation in these biomolecules will only persist as long as this mutated mRNA of protein exists. After its life-span, the molecule is degraded and replaced by a non-mutated mRNA or proteins. This is because the piece of DNA that codes for the mRNA and subsequent protein is not mutated. A mutation on DNA is the permanent kind of mutations because DNA is a highly stable molecule that stores information about the cell.

briefly describe the evolutionary argument based on homologous structures. Explain why this argument is not valid.
IgorC [24]
Homology
Homo=same
logy=combing of (I think)
so it basically says that you can point to a common ancestor because of a similar design (e.g. teeth, stomach, etc.) found in almost all creatures.
This is not a valid argument as just because something is similar does not mean it originated from the same source.
For example,
an Audi car and a Ford car may have similar features, like an engine, seatbelts, steering wheel. However, just because they are similar does not mean the same engineer designed both cars.

Which is not a high-level radioactive waste? contaminated clothing fuel rods reactor coolant control rods
sesenic [268]

Actually the answer on this question would be:

“reactor coolant”

 

The reactor coolant mostly used is simply sea water, or water could be. The role of the reactor coolant is simply to cool the reactor. It does not come into contact with any radioactive source since it only cools the reactor from the outside, it acts like a jacket of coolant.
