C

Crossing over during meiosis allows for genes to cross from one chromosome to another. This will result in more mutations and therefore greater genetic diversity.

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

The correct answer is - option b. to generate a protein with a run of consecutive glutamines.

Explanation:

The initiation code AUG is the code for methionine and as well as the initiation code for the particular protein or peptide chain. In this protein, there is a repeat of CAG is increased with the initiation code so, even though they are in zero reading frame they code for their amino acid which is glutamine.

So. an increased number of CAG repeats will result in a protein with the a run of consecutive glutamines.

If we removed the decomposers from this food web, how would it affect the balance of the ecosystem? A.)There would be an increas
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

The dead matter from organisms such as plants and animals that die need to be recycled so the nutrients in the matter are released and used up by other organisms. This is how sustainability is achieved in ecosystems through a cyclical nature of nutrients flow. Decomposition of the dead matter is done by decomposers such as fungi and bacteria. Without them, the dead matter would accumulate while the soil would lack nutrients for plants to grow and for other bacteria to utilize for energy. This would affect the rest of the food chain/web causing the ecosystem to collapse.

La Rafflesia arnoldii es una planta tropical con una enorme flor rojo-sangre, que emite calor y despide olor a carne descompuest
Bingel [31]

Answer:

Rafflesia arnoldii is a tropical plant with a huge blood-red flower, which emits heat and emits the smell of decomposed meat. What use are these adaptations to this plant

Explanation:

The smell is adaptation for pollination.This is because it attracts insects which carry on the process of pollination.

Its possible Endothermy characteristic  is for mimicry Its releases  heat to attract  the pollinators- blowflies.The endothermic mechanism  is well pronounced during flora development: which further buttress the fact that this  is related to pollination to attract blowflies, and not to thermoregulation.

categorize the following characteristics based on whether they are describing chloroplasts or mitochondria.
Ghella [55]

The categorization of the characteristics based on whether they are describing chloroplasts or mitochondria are as follows:

  1. <u>Mitochondria:</u> carry out cellular respiration.
  2. <u>Chloroplasts:</u> carry out photosynthesis.
  3. <u>Mitochondria:</u> found in plant and animal cells.
  4. <u>Chloroplasts:</u> produce carbohydrates used as source of food for most living things.  
  5. <u>Mitochondria:</u> abundant in human muscle cells.
  6. <u>Chloroplasts:</u> not found in animal cells.
  7. <u>Chloroplasts:</u> contain chlorophyll.

<h3>What is a cell?</h3>

A cell can be defined as the fundamental functional, structural and smallest unit of life, which is found within the body of an organism.

Some examples of cell organelles that are found in the body of an organism include the following:

  • Mitochondria.
  • Nucleus.
  • Endoplasmic reticulum (ER).
  • Vesicles.
  • Cytoplasm.
  • Cell membrane.
  • Chromosome.
  • Golgi apparatus (bodies).
  • Chloroplast

<h3>What is mitochondria?</h3>

Mitochondria can be defined as one of the cell organelles that is found in the body of a living organism.

Also, mitochondria is known as the powerhouse because it is saddled with responsibility of providing all the energy required in the cell, especially by transforming energy forms through series of chemical reactions.
