What role does cellular respiration play in the carbon cycle
baherus [9]
Cellular respiration and photosynthesis are important parts of the carbon cycle. The carbon cycle is the pathways through which carbon is recycled in the biosphere. While cellular respiration releases carbon dioxide into the environment, photosynthesis pulls carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.

What might happen to the structure of kinesin if the DNA code was damaged?
Oksanka [162]

Do you mean when nucleotides get damaged or when they match to each other incoreectly? (which cuases mutants) Specialized Enzymes repair, different one respond to help different types of damage. Detail the question more, maybe then i can help more.

Human height is a polygenic trait. This means that the
dalvyx [7]

This means that each dominant allele "adds" to the expression of the next dominant allele. Usually, traits are polygenic when there is wide variation in the trait. For example, humans can be many different sizes. Height is a polygenic trait, controlled by at least three genes with six alleles.

if there were no suppression of dna replication between meiotic divisions but cytokinesis proceeded normally, what is the most l
sergiy2304 [10]
The answer is 4 diploid cells.

Meiosis is a cell division which results in the reduction of chromosome number by half - from diploid to haploid - in daughter cells. It consists of meiosis I and meiosis II. Meiosis I produces <em>two haploid cells</em>.<span> Meiosis II is analogous to mitosis, so in total, meiosis results in four haploid cells. This is achieved through suppression of DNA replication between two meiotic divisions.
If there were no </span><span>suppression of DNA replication, then meiosis I would produce <em>two diploid cells</em>, and after meiosis II there will be four diploid cells.</span>

gogolik [260]

• Homologous structures: Both Ostriches have wings similar in form to those of their ancestors, but that do not allow the birds to fly.

Homologous structures are those that have structural similarities but are different in function. For example, if we look at the anatomical structure of a bird’s wing, it is very similar in structure with a human arm. However, over the course of time they have evolved to perform different functions.

• Vestigial structures: The inner ear bones of mammals have evolved from bones that form the jaws of reptiles.  

Vestigiality refers to the process in which some structure lose their function over the course of evolution in some specie but they are functionally normal in other species.  Such a structure is the inner ear bones of mammals which donot perform an important function in mammals but do perform in reptiles.

• DNA sequence data: Both Genes involved in RNA replication are conserved among bacteria and animals, suggesting a common evolutionary origin.

The sequencing of genetic data is an excellent method of finding the evolutionary histories and relatedness of different organisms. This field of sciences is called phylogenetics and the mentioned example is the result of phylogenetics.

• Analogous structures: The jointed legs of insects and vertebrates arose independently, indicating a different evolutionary origin.  

Analogous structures are those that have similar function but they look very different in structure or anatomy. This is because they have been evolved from different ancestors and perform different functions. One example of these structures is mentioned, The jointed legs of insects and vertebrates that look different bur perform same function.
