Answer:
directing the synthesis of proteins necessary for proper cell function.
Explanation:
The nucleic acids include DNA and RNA. The instructions on DNA are transcribed into messenger RNA. Ribosomes are able to read the genetic information inscribed on a strand of messenger RNA and use this information to string amino acids together into a protein thus nucleic acids directs the synthesis of proteins necessary for proper cell function.
Answer:
The correct option is;
D. 45%
Explanation:
From the Hardy- Weinberg law, we have;
p² + 2·p·q + q² = 1
p + q = 1
Where:
p = Dom inant allele frequency in the population
q = Recessive allele frequency in the population
p² = The percentage of individuals in the population that are hom ozygous dominant
q² = The percentage of individuals in the population that are homo zygous recessive
2×p×q = The percentage of hete rozyous individuals in the population
The number of individuals that express the recessive phenotype = 86
The number of individuals in the population = 200
The percentage of individuals that express the recessive phenotype, q² = 86/200 = 0.43
Therefore;
q = √0.43 = 0.656
p + q = 1
p = 1 - q = 1 - 0.656= 0.344
∴ The frequency of individuals that express the do minant phe notype, p = 0.344
The percentage of heterozyous individuals in the population = 2×p×q × 100 = 2 × 0.656 × 0.344 × 100 = 45.15% ≈ 45%
Nonnative species disrupt ecosystems by disrupting food chains.
Question 6:
D. None of the above
BECAUSE
— In this situation, no use of the immune system (the system that fights off sicknesses) is being used, so we can immediately eliminate A.
— In this situation, no use of the endocrine system (the system that creates hormones) is being used, so we can immediately eliminate B and C.
Question 7:
A. Endocrine, Reproductive, Nervous
BECAUSE
— In this situation, we are definitely using the endocrine system because we are talking about hormones and the endocrine system creates hormones. We can eliminate C because the endocrine system is not included.
— In this situation, we are using the reproductive and nervous system because we talk about the ovaries and testes (reproductive) and the pituitary gland (makes hormones and testosterone) which is part of the brain and the brain is part of the nervous system. We can eliminate B because it doesn’t include these and eliminate D because A is our answer.
Question 8:
D. Integumentary, Circulatory, Immune
BECAUSE
—In this situation, we can eliminate B and C because we are not using the endocrine system (makes hormones)
—In this situation, we can eliminate A because we are not using the nervous system (brain, nerves, spinal cord)
