Geologists can often match up rock layers over distances.
<span>The right answer is: A
A) The molecule is digested by exonucleases because it is not protected at the 5' end. (correct)
B) The molecule is digested by restriction enzymes in the eukaryotic cell's nucleus. (false it is digested by exonucleases due to the absence of the 3'cap and the 5'tail)
C) The mRNA cannot exit the nucleus to be transcribed without the 5' cap and poly-A tail. (false, to be TRANSLATED and not to be transcribed)
D) The mRNA molecule attaches to a ribosome and is translated at a much slower rate. (false, it doesn't have a role to play in translation)</span>
Population of older female elephants different from the younger female elephants is described below.
Explanation:
- THE OLDEST ELEPHANTS wandering Mozambique’s Gorongosa National Park bear the indelible markings of the civil war that gripped the country for 15 years: Many are tuskless. They’re the lone survivors of a conflict that killed about 90 percent of these beleaguered animals, slaughtered for ivory to finance weapons and for meat to feed the fighters.
-
Hunting gave elephants that didn’t grow tusks a biological advantage in Gorongosa. Recent figures suggest that about a third of younger females—the generation born after the war ended in 1992—never developed tusks. Normally, tusklessness would occur only in about 2 to 4 percent of female African elephants.
- New, as yet unpublished, research she’s compiled indicates that of the 200 known adult females, 51 percent of those that survived the war—animals 25 years or older—are tuskless. And 32 percent of the female elephants born since the war are tuskless.
- A male elephant’s tusks are bigger and heavier than those of a female of the same age, says Poole, who serves as scientific director of a nonprofit called ElephantVoices. “But once there’s been heavy poaching pressure on a population, then the poachers start to focus on the older females as well,” she explains. “Over time, with the older age population, you start to get this really higher proportion of tuskless females.”
- “The prevalence of tusklessness in Addo is truly remarkable and underscores the fact that high levels of poaching pressure can do more than just remove individuals from a population,” says Ryan Long, a behavioral ecologist at the University of Idaho and a National Geographic Explorer. The “consequences of such dramatic changes in elephant populations are only just beginning to be explored.”
Answer:
gallstones
Explanation:
Gallstones are hardened deposits of digestive fluid that forms in the gallbladder that is found under the liver. The formation of these gallstones can be as a result of the inability of the bile to secret enough chemical to dissolve excess cholesterol t is excreted by the liver. It can also be caused s a result of the malfunction of the gallbladder.
When symptoms of gallbladder show, they often present signs such as pain in the right upper abdomen, nausea, vomiting etc.
Risk factors of gallstones include: eating high cholesterol diet, sedentary lifestyle, obesity etc.
