<span>B. A secondary consumer that obtains its energy from the consumption of animals.

The red-tailed hawk is a secondary consumer because it feeds itself on primary consumers (those that eat plants, herbivores). Secondary consumers, by definition, </span><span>obtain their energy from eating other animals. Secondary consumers are also usually the ones that stand on the second and above rows of a food chain, being the plants at the bottom and the primary consumers just above the plants.</span>

The answer is Integumentary System. it is the organ framework that shields the body from different sorts of harm, for example, loss of water or scraped spot from outside. The framework involves the skin and its limbs.
The integumentary system comprises of the skin, hair, nails, organs, and nerves. Its principal work is to go about as a hindrance to shield the body from the outside world. It additionally capacities to hold body liquids, ensure against ailment, dispense with squandering items, and direct body temperature.

A cross between a red flower and a white flower produces red and white spotted flowers. Which type of inheritance pattern is ind

Nutka1998 [239]

The correct answer is codominance.

Codominance is when the alleles of a gene, in a heterozygote organism, are not fully expressed. In this case, either red or white fully dominates but they still manifest that they are present in the flower.
Do not get confused with incomplete dominance because that would result in a pink flower.

What does it mean to say that mass is conserved during a physical change?

kaheart [24]

Alright, so mass is a property of a physical body. During physical changes, such as acceleration, force, etc, the mass stays the same since we are not affecting its physical shape, just where it is physics wise. So yeah mass is conserved during a physical change.

(This is very confusing I'm bad at explaining things sorry)

Answer:

4. c. Deletion/ frameshift mutation

5. a. Tyr Tyr Asp Ser Gly

6. A frameshift occurred which altered the identity of the amino acids following the initiator 6. methionine, but not the length of protein Q.

Explanation:

A single base pair at the first position of the Arg codon i.e. CGA has been deleted. Due to the deletion, the reading frame has shifted one nucleotide backwards, altering the amino acid sequence of the protein.

The genomic DNA sequence is 5'-ATG ATA CTA AGG CCC-3'. Therefore, the complementary mRNA will be 5'-UAC UAU GAU UCC GGG-3'. According to the genetic code, this mRNA sequence encodes the following amino acid sequence: Tyr Tyr Asp Ser Gly

The wild type DNA sequence is:

5'-ACUGUAAUGGAGUCAGAUGAUGCAUUAAGGAGAAAUUGAAAUAAA-3'

The mutant i.e. mRNA with the added G will be

5' ACUGUAAUGGGAGUCAGAUGAUGCAUUAAGGAGAAAUUGAAAUAAA-3'

This is a single base pair insertion and frameshift mutation that shifts the reading frame one base pair forwards. The codon that was originally GAG coding for glutamic acid (Glu) gets converted to GGA that codes for glycine. Therefore, the amino acid sequence has been altered but the polypeptide chain will still have 13 amino acids.
