Answer:

The larger shade leaves provide a larger area for absorbing light energy for photosynthesis in a place where light levels are low. In contrast, smaller sun leaves will provide less surface area for the loss of water through transpiration. ... Shoots grow more quickly in height where light levels are low.

It is an advantage for plants in the shades to have leaves with a large surface area because the larger shade leaves provide a larger area for absolving light energy for photosynthetic activities in a place where ligh level is low. While smaller light level leaves will provide less surface area for the loss of water through Transpiration.

An effective strategy for stepping in if someone appears to need help is

LenKa [72]

Answer:

An effective strategy for stepping in if someone appears to need help is <u>directly check in with the person</u><u>.</u>

Explanation:

Many a time, our closed ones will be fighting battles we are unaware of. We are so busy in our lives that we either do not notice the problems of our loved ones or we just think that if they need help from us, they will ask it themselves. But we shall realize the fact that many people will not ask for help themselves due to certain reasons.

So, it is best to always check upon the persons you love if you think that they might need any help.

Several organisms have a homologous protein (inherited from a common ancestor) that is highly similar at the amino acid level. Y

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

The correct answer is: C. third nucleotide position.

Explanation:

Genes located on the chromosomes encodes for proteins.
A Gene is made up of a Deoxyribonucleotide (DNA) sequence which is transcribed into the messenger Ribonucleotide (mRNA) sequence by the help of RNA polymerase.
This mRNA sequence is further translated into the amino acid sequence, that folds to form the functional protein, by the help of the Ribosome.
The Ribosome reads the mRNA sequence in the form of triplets (three nucleotide together) and each such triplet nucleotide codes for an amino acid.
Each such triplet nucleotide is known as a Codon.
The Genetic Code is a table which represents the amino acid encoded by each codon.
However, the Genetic Code is degenerate in nature. This means that one amino acid can be coded by more than one codon.
This is because, among the the three nucleotide positions in a codon only the first two determine the specificity of the amino acid while the third nucleotide, also called the wobble nucleotide, is not specific. Presence of any nucleotide in the third position of the codon will not alter the amino acid encoded by the codon.
In the given question, organisms producing homologous protein have similar amino acid sequence but they vary in the corresponding nucleotide sequence of the gene which codes for the homologous protein.
This is because at the nucleotide level the variation lies in the wobble nucleotide position that occupies the third position in the codon.
