Answer:

Glycoproteins are found on the surface of the lipid bilayer of cell membranes. Their hydrophilic nature allows them to function in the aqueous environment, where they act in cell-cell recognition and binding of other molecules.

DDT is an insecticide that was used extensively in the mid-1900s to kill mosquitoes. It was very effective at first, but after a

dlinn [17]

Insect populations can develop resistance to insecticides over time. The evolution of resistance is associated with an increase in the frequency of adaptive genes in the population.

In the case above described it is expected that a few mosquitoes in the population were resistant to DDT before it was ever used (Option a is correct).

Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) is a pesticide used in agriculture.

After exposure to DDT, those individuals in the mosquito population that didn't carry gene variants (i.e., alleles) associated with the resistance to this pesticide died.

Subsequently, insects having adaptive alleles associated with DDT resistance survived and reproduced, thereby increasing the frequency of adaptive genes/alleles in the population.

DNA has two strands. If the sequence of nucleotides of one strand was known, is it possible to use that information to determine

yanalaym [24]

It is possible to use the information of the nucleotide sequence of one strand to determine the sequence of the other strand.

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a biological molecule with two strands. Each strand is made up of a sequence of nucleotides. The DNA nucleotides are Adenine (A), Cytosine (C), Guanine (G) and Thymine (T).

In a DNA molecule, Adenine forms an hydrogen bond with Thymine i.e. A-T, while Guanine forms an hydrogen bond with Cytosine i.e. G-C.

Therefore, it is possible to use the information of the nucleotide sequence of one strand to determine the sequence of the other strand. For example, a strand with ATGCGTACGAT will form the following sequence: TACGCATGCTA

Complete the sentence. ____________ affects the way heat is distributed on Earth's surface.

enyata [817]

Earth's tilt on its axis affects the way heat is distributed on Earth's surface.

The Earth orbits the sun every 365 ¼ days. The Earth is tilted 23.5 degrees on its axis, which affects the distribution of the sun’s energy across the surface of the planet. More tilt means more severe seasons, that is warmer summers and colder winters where as less tilt means less severe seasons, that is cooler summers and milder winters.
