Answer: I don't think that they are known as 'Autotroph'

Explanation: Encyclopedic entry. An autotroph is an organism that can produce its own food using light, water, carbon dioxide, or other chemicals. Because autotrophs produce their own food, they are sometimes called producers.

What statement accurately compares sexual and asexual reproduction?
Advocard [28]

Answer:

Sexual reproduction results in genetic variation and asexual reproduction does not.

Explanation:

The key difference between sexual and asexual reproduction is that sexual reproduction occurs between two parents while asexual reproduction occurs via a single parent. Asexual reproduction requires only a single divisible cell to produce a new organism, whereas sexual reproduction requires two gametes, their formation and fusion.

Two brothers inherit different sets of alleles from their parents. what effect will they have?
lesya692 [45]
Depending on what trait the alleles carry, the brothers will have a different phenotype and a different genotype.
For example; Eye color. My sister is heterozygous, meaning she has brown eyes. I am homozygous recessive, meaning I have blue(green/hazel) eyes. We both have the same parents, I just happened to inherit both of the recessive eye color alleles from my parents whereas, my sister inherited both the dominant and recessive alleles. 

So, since the brothers inherited different sets of alleles, their genotype for a certain trait will be different.

A transcription unit that is 8,000 nucleotides long may use 1,200 nucleotides to make a protein consisting of approximately 400
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

A) many noncoding stretches of nucleotides are present in mRNA.

Explanation:

A transcription unit in eukaryotes includes the region that code for mRNA extending from the 5' cap site to the 3' poly-A site. It also includes the controlling regions. The mRNA formed by transcription also has some non-coding intervening sequences. These are called introns. Introns are removed from the primary transcripts by the process of splicing that occurs after transcription.

Therefore, a transcription unit that is 8,000 nucleotides long may use only 1,200 nucleotides to code for a protein having 400 amino acids since the rest of the nucleotides are part of introns and are removed from mRNA after transcription.
