The mass extinction occurring today differs from those that occurred in the past because it is due mainly due to the actions of one species. The species in question is man since man's activities has resulted in such things as global warming which have vastly affected the earth's environments and the living conditions of other species.

The main reason for the difference in the mass extinction occurring today and previously is the pace of the current extinction. The extinction is taking place globally and involves hundreds of species at the same time. In less than 50 years, we have lost numerous species. In contrast to this, previously during the mass extinction, only a few species were lost, and other managed to survive. But, not the status is opposite due to the magnitude of the extinction.

Hemoglobin is a complex protein that contains four polypeptide chains. The normal hemoglobin found in adults, called adult hemog
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

1) A, C and D

2) D

Explanation:

The normal hemoglobin is made up of heme and globin. The protein, globin is in turn made up of four polypeptide chains which include two alpha and two beta chains.

The gene gene responsible for the creation of the beta globin chain is located on the short arm of chromosome eleven. It is called the HBB gene. Many mutations occur on the HBB gene and a mutation on this gene produces abnormal hemoglobin like HBS, hbc, and hbe. HBs causes sickle cell anemia.

In sickle cell anemia, there is an alteration of the genetic code, leading to the substitution of a single amino acid where glutamic acid is replaced by valine in the sixth position of the beta chain.

In the mRNA, the change converts a glutamic acid codon(GAG or GAA) to a valine codon(GUA, GUC, GUU or GUG).

Sickle cell anemia is caused by a transversion that leads to a missense mutation.

Which three structures are found in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells? cytoplasm, endoplasmic reticulum, DNA ribosomes, DNA,
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer: The structures that are found in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cell are-

ribosomes, DNA, cytoplasm.

Ribosomes are biomolecular complex, composed of RNA and protein and act as the site for protein synthesis in all the cells of the living organisms.

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is considered as the genetic material of all life forms. It possesses the genetic instruction in the form of nucleotide sequences.

Cytoplasm is the fluid compartment of all the cells (where all the essential biochemical reactions take place) that is surrounded by cell membrane.

Thus, ribosomes, DNA, cytoplasm is the right answer.
