Suppose scientists determine that a set of genes is significantly more prevalent in murderers than in the population at large. W

forsale [732]3 years ago

Answer:

No

Explanation:

<u>That a gene is common to all murderers in the population does not mean that murderers are not at fault for their crimes. </u>

<em>Having a gene that correlates with murder just gives one a genetic tendency but the environment and personal choice still have to influence the decision to commit the crime. In other words, one might have the genetic tendency to commit murder but still has to be environmentally enabled and the ability to choose to either do it or otherwise. Nature, nurture, and personal choice would have to synergistically work together for the phenotypic expression of such a gene. </em>

A biologist is in the process of classifying a newly discovered fungus. The fungus is a decomposer and has saclike structures. T
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

The correct answer will be Ascomycetes or sac fungi.

Explanation:

Ascomycetes or sac fungi is a group of fungi which produce haploid spores in elongated sac like structures called asci.

Sac fungi are hetertrophic  which means they can have three different methods of obtaining food. They can be saprophytes (decomposers) or parasitic (pathogens) or mutualistic. Decomposer fungi species of ascomycetes <em>Rhizopus </em>grows on dead or decaying organisms and take nutrition from them.

Thus, Ascomycetes is the correct answer.

What does a bacterial rna polymerase produce when it transcribes a protein-coding gene?
Montano1993 [528]
I had to look for the options and here is my answer: When transcription of a protein-coding gene occurs in a bacterial RNA polymerase, what happens is that, it produces pre-mRNA. Pre-mRNA is also an RNA strand that is not yet matured and it is still to be synthesized.

. Clots the blood,<br> Red blood cells<br> White blood cells<br> Plasma<br> Platelets
Mrac [35]

Answer:

Platelets help the blood clotting process (or coagulation) by gathering at the site of an injury, sticking to the lining of the injured blood vessel, and forming a platform on which blood coagulation can occur. This results in the formation of a fibrin clot, which covers the wound and prevents blood from leaking out.

Explanation:

Blood is composed of plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Blood platelets play a role in coagulation (the clotting of blood to stop bleed from an open wound); white blood cells play an important role in the immune system; red blood cells transport oxygen and carbon dioxide.

yeah that's all I can think of

Natural selection refers to all of the following EXCEPT
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

Darwin proposed the theory of natural selection to explain the process of evolution. According to Darwin’s theory of natural selection, all organisms have the potential to reproduce limitlessly irrespective of the fact that each species maintain a constant density over time. However, the struggle for existence, i.e. the competition among individuals for available resources to survive and reproduce, put a check on species density (D) and maintains it at a constant level (B). Survival of fittest is unequal ability of individuals to survive and reproduce based on suitability of their inherited characters to prevailing environmental conditions (A). It imparts the reproductive advantage to certain organisms which account for major part of the gene pool of the species. Thus, natural selection favors the individual with survival and/or reproductive advantage over others under existing environmental condition (E). Thus, the correct answer is option C.
