Answer:

C

Explanation:

A)

DNA directs the synthesis of RNA.

B)

DNA splits into two strands of RNA.

C)

A strand of DNA is used as a template for the formation of RNA.

D)

Two strands of RNA are formed by copying each of the strands of DNA.

The correct answer would be that <u>a strand of DNA is used as a template for the formation of RNA.</u>

<em>Transcription is a process during which RNA is synthesized using DNA as a template. The coding strand of the DNA is utilized as a template for the formation of messenger RNA. During this process, the double helix structure of the DNA is unwound by an enzyme and the coding strand is bound by a short DNA strand at the beginning of a gene while another enzyme adds RNA nucleotide bases to elongate the short strand.</em>

The correct option is C.

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer

Macromolecules in human body

             The macromolecules found in human body are:

1. Carbohydrate,

2. Proteins

3. Lipids, and  

4. Nucleic acids.  

Elements they common share

             All these macromolecules have three elements in common which are:

1. Carbon

2. Hydrogen, and

3. Oxygen.  

                   These elements constitute about 95% of human body.

Difference in Chemical properties

                    Carbohydrate is composed of glucose monomers, which may have aldehyde functional group or ketone functional group. Protein is composed of monomers called amino acids. Each amino acid has carboxylic functional group, amino group, alkyl or aryl group and hydrogen atom. Lipid is composed of fatty acids and glycerol. While nucleic acid is composed of monomer called nucleotide. Each nucleotide is composed of pentose sugar, phosphate group and nitrogenous group. Due to the presence of different functional groups all these macromolecules have chemical properties different from each one

The overgrowth of algae poses a major problem for coral reefs. fish eat algae. why would intensive fishing contribute to the ove
pychu [463]
In the open ocean, especially around the surface, one of the main sources of food for fish would be the algae that grow at the surface & photosynthesize with the sun. Without fish to regulate the amount of surface algae, they overgrow and block the sun from the organisms on the coral reef.

Without sun, the reef is not able to sustain themselves & it's down hill from there.

I hope this helps!

What do you think is useful about knowing how to read a pedigree
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

Knowing how to read a pedigree allows you to track through the family history and how a condition is passed down, if it is genetic. It allows you to tell if the condition is sex-linked, autosomal, dominant, or recessive. It also allows you to see the family and what occurs in the family, such as marriages, miscarriages, and other relationships.
