Biology

Answer:

RNA is a polymer because it is made up of many monomers called nucleotides. Moreover, RNAs can form macromolecules because many RNAs are large molecules (i.e., polynucleotide chains).

Explanation:

Ribonucleic acid (RNA) can be defined as a single-stranded nucleic acid polymer of the four nucleotides. In RNA, each nucleotide is composed of a 1-ribose sugar, a 2-phosphate group and 3-one of four types of nitrogenous bases: Adenine (A), Cytosine (C), Guanine (G), and Uracil (U), which are covalently bonded to form polynucleotide chains. There are different types of RNAs such as mRNA, tRNA, rRNA, miRNA, circ-RNAs, lncRNAs, etc. Many of these RNAs form large single-stranded (ss) molecules, i.e., polynucleotide chains. For example, an mRNA sequence may have a length of 5,000 nucleotides (5 kb) or even more, and there are RNA viruses that have more than 20000 nucleotides (20 kb) in length.

When a cat drops from a tree to the ground, the conversion of takes place. Then cat runs up behind a mouse to obtain its food. A
slava [35]

When a cat drops from a tree to the ground, the cat is transforming chemical energy attained from the food into kinetic energy. The later energy is used by the living species when they are performing locomotion.  

When a cat feeds on a mouse, the mouse will undergo through the process of digestion resulting in the formation of chemical energy. Thus, the food consumed by the cat will get transformed into chemical energy that can be utilized by the cat to perform its usual activities.

In meiosis 1 what happens during anaphase?
icang [17]

Anaphase I begins when the two chromosomes of each bivalent (tetrad) separate and start moving toward opposite poles of the cell as a result of the action of the spindle. Notice that in anaphase I the sister chromatids remain attached at their centromeres and move together toward the poles.
