15,000 years ago, when humans were foragers and hunters, what characterized daily life? What were humans eating, and where and h
lisabon 2012 [21]

1. 15,000 years ago the humans were still hunter-gatherers. Their daily lives were largely based around one thing, finding enough food to survive through  the next few days. This means that they had to constantly be on the move, be it for hunting animals, or for finding rich places with eatable plants. There was lot of walking, running, and scouting involved every day. It was a lifestyle of ''living through the day''.

2. During this period of time, the diet of the humans was consisted of animals they hunted, fish, and plants. There were differences from region to region though, so the people that lived along the coastline based their diet on marine animals, the ones that were living in colder regions were eating mostly meat, while the ones living in forested areas or grasslands had combination of plants and meat. The lifestyle in general was moving from place to place, be it on a daily basis, weakly, or seasonally, depending on the conditions. Some of these people were making small shelters, some of which were retractable and they were moving them with them, while others were using caves.

3. There are many difference between the forager peoples and the agriculturalists. The foragers were nomads, thus they were moving very often from one place to another, while the agriculturalists were having a settled lifestyle. The nomads very often had bad injuries which were often fatal, usually because of hunting, while the agriculturalists had much better health because they had much safer lifestyle. The foragers were not able to produce their own food, but instead they were relying on mother nature, while the agriculturalists were producing their own food and had the food problem solved.

The information from messenger RNA is used to create polypeptide sequences during the process of _____.​
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

Translation

Explanation:

The translation is the process during which the nucleotide sequence of the mRNA is read in the form of genetic codes. The nucleotide sequence of mRNA is complementary to the template DNA strand. According to the sequence of the nucleotides in the mRNA, the amino acids are added in a specific order to make the polypeptide chains. The process occurs on ribosomes. The ribosomes move along the mRNA to read its sequence and the tRNA brings are amino acids to be added to the polypeptide chains.
