1. Answer: A
Explanation: For a cell to form proteins, the specific types of proteins are coded for by the genes in DNA (found in the chromosomes of the nucleus). To produce proteins, the genes are first transcribed by RNA polymerase to form messenger-RNA. The mRNA is then translated into proteins by ribosomes in the cytoplasm of the cell.
2. Answer: B
Explanation: Translation of genes into proteins is dependent on the sequence of nucleotides. They are translated in sequences of 3 nucleotides known as codons. Therefore adding a nucleotide on a piece of DNA causes what is referred to as a frame-shift mutation. The 3 sequences (of codons) is interrupted and shifted by one nucleotide. Therefore, the codons change and the amino acids translated will also change.
3. Answer: A
Expanation: Producers are significant in a food chain because they incorporate the energy of the sun into the food chain. This is why they are at the base of the food chain and have the largest biomass. They are consumed by primary consumers which are consumed by secondary consumers which are consumed by tertiary consumers and so on.
4. Answer: D
Explanation: Plants are consumed by herbivores. Therefore, a decrease in plant population due to drought was resulted to decrease in herbivore population. This is due to stiff competition by the herbivores for the scarce plant population. Carnivores consume herbivores. Due to a decrease in the herbivore population, then the carnivore population would also decrease.
5. Answer: A
Explanation: Burning of fossil fuels emits carbon dioxide gas which is a greenhouse gas. Greenhouse gas traps infrared wavelength of lights hence warming up the atmosphere, causing global warming. Reduction in use of fossil fuels will hence alleviate an increase in global temperature hence protect coral in the oceans from bleaching.
Answer:
llbb
Explanation:
<em>The genotype of the black, short-haired otter could be determined by testing-crossing with a brown, long-haired otter whose genotype would be </em><em>llbb</em><em>.</em>
Analysis of the resulting zygote from the cross would give an indication of the genotype of the otter - whether it has two dominant alleles each for the black, short-hair traits or heterozygous.
<u>If the otter has two dominant alleles for the two traits, all the resulting zygote from the test-cross would have black, short-hair, but if it is heterozygous, a mixed phenotype set of zygote would be obtained.</u>
Try mixing two or more animals together to create an animal. Research their physical features, the environment they do well in, senses, etc.
For example:
A cat-like creature with an alligator's tail and a bird's beak.
This creature would have cat-like instincts, but be able to swim underwater to to it's alligator tail (alligators are born to swim) and sing like a bird due to it's beak. Plus you could add anything else you want.
Another thing you could do is look up fantasy animals from video games and get inspired from them!
For worlds, you probably want to build a world that your animal could survive in.
No Man's Sky, a video-game, has endless biomes and worlds that you can take inspiration from for the climate and it's features.
You could also research about any known planets (doesn't have to be in our solar system) and mix two or more together, take aspects from one planet and give it to another, etc!
I hope these ideas helped you a bit :)
