Biology
2 answers:
Murrr4er [49]3 years ago

Answer:

<u>C) They may provide selective advantages. </u>

<u>D) Slight differences in the genetic code may have significant results.</u>

Explanation:

The genetic code is universal, and present in most living beings . Generally, in most living organisms, the same codons are assigned to the same amino acids.  

DNA sequences make up genes that may have multiple variants, called alleles. DNA deoxyribonucleic acid, is transcribed into mRNA and then translated into amino acids that form proteins.

Natural selection mainly acts on phenotypes, which are dependent on proteins and the organisms's environment.  Phenotypes conferring advantageous traits are favored by the selection process- these help groups of organisms evolve over time.

What is the name of the process that breaks glucose down into the pyruvate that is used in cellular respiration?
Nikitich [7]

The correct answer is Glycolysis.

At the time of glycolysis, glucose gets dissociated down into ten steps to two molecules of pyruvate that then moves within the mitochondria where it is oxidized by the process of the tricarboxylic acid cycle or Kreb's cycle into water and carbon dioxide. Glycolysis can be divided into two phases, and both of which takes place in the cytosol.
