Answer:

BLOSUM

Explanation:

A substitution matrix is a matrix used in bioinformatics (and also in computational biology) to determine/estimate the rate at which one character -which is specified by a nucleotide sequence in nucleic acid alignments or by one amino acid in protein alignments-, changed to another character during the course of the evolution. The BLOcks SUbstitution Matrix (popularly known as BLOSUM) is a substitution matrix used to score one amino acid for another in a protein alignment. The BLOSUM substitution matrix is particularly useful to compare evolutionarily conserved regions between protein sequences and thus score their alignments, where each entry is indicated by a similarity score between two amino acids.

How do biotic factors rely on abiotic and other biotic factors? PLEASE HELP!!
creativ13 [48]
Biotic Factors depend/rely on abiotic factors because living things (biotic) need nonliving things (abiotic) to survive. Biotic rely on other Biotic factors because they need the food and resources from other living things.

For example, we (biotic factors) need energy from the sun and oxygen/air ,which is abiotic factors, to live and grow. Just like plants (biotic) need the sun's energy (abiotic) to help it grow.

dedylja [7]
<span>They end up in bodies of water killing animal and plant life.
=> Not all insecticides are being dissolve. When it stays long in the lawn, rain will carry it and will mix with the body of water. Then the plants will absorb the water and causes the plant to die. Same goes with the animal if they drink the water with pesticides.</span>

What is the difference between regular and irregular dense tissue
Aleks [24]

Answer:

The difference is the organization of the fibers located in the extracellular matrix.

Explanation:

The connective tissue gives support and structure to other tissues and organs. Diverse cells, fibers and ground substance (matrix) are components of the connective tissue. The connective tissue is classified in: loose or dense. As their names imply, loose connective tissue has fewer cells and fibers per area whereas in the dense connective tissue the cells and fibers are tightly packed. The dense connective tissue is further divided into regular and irregular. The main difference is the arrangement of the fibers in these tissues. In the regular dense connective tissue, all the fibers are oriented in one direction. In contrast in the irregular dense connective tissue the fibers have multiple orientations
