Biology
1 answer:
tigry1 [53]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

What do they look like?

Glaciers look like solid blocks of ice.

What climate do they exist in?

Regions that have high snowfall in winter and cool temperatures in summer.

Where can you find them?

Most of the world's glacial ice is found in Antarctica and Greenland, but glaciers are found on nearly every continent, even Africa.

What do you think we can learn from glaciers?

Glaciers preserve bits of atmosphere from thousands of years ago in these tiny air bubbles, or, deeper within the core, trapped within the ice itself. This is one way scientists know that there have been several Ice Ages. Scientists are also finding that glaciers reveal clues about global warming.

(The last question is unclear to me, so I'm going to take a guess as to what you meant)

Why is sea ice so important?

Arctic sea ice keeps the polar regions cool and helps moderate global climate.

I hope this helps!! :3

The central dogma of molecular biology is that biological information flows from?
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

DNA to messenger RNA (mRNA) to protein.

Explanation:

Central Dogma is a term that refers to the two step process through which information flows from the sequence of DNA into a sequence of RNA (the process of transcription) and finally takes the form of proteins (the process of translation)

Francis Crick was the first scientist who proposed the term of "Central Dogma".

Significance of Central Dogma:

  • This is the process that ensures that genetic information of all living organisms is preserved and transmitted without any alteration or changes into their offspring.
  • It is a process that intricately explains the logical mechanism through which DNA stored in our chromosomes express themselves into functional forms called proteins.
  • This was the process which let us know the important roles of molecules like ribosomal RNA, transfer RNA and messenger RNA in the process of protein formation.
  • The process has immense importance in understanding the latest advances in RNA technology that can further help in investigation and diagnosis as well as treatment of many critical diseases.

Hope it helps!

What are some similarities and between Gigantopithecus and humans?
Basile [38]

Answer:

Gigantopithecus could stand on its hind legs, and the known jaws of Gigantopithecus widen towards the rear and proposed that this widening occurred to allow for the housing of a trachea‭ (‬the‭ ‘‬windpipe‭’ ‬that connects the lungs to the mouth opening‭) ‬when the skull was placed directly in top of the head like a human and not carried forward like a great ape.‭
