Which is not an adaptation of desert animals that help them retain and acquire water in such a hot and dry environment?

Biology

Molodets [167]3 years ago

<span>The correct answer is C. Whilst desert animals such as camels have evolved an internal 'air conditioning' system to help them stay cool, this is a process focused on keeping the brain cool whilst the rest of the body is hot, to ensure the animal's vital organs can function even in high temperatures. The alternative answers for this question all focus on the aquiring and retention of water.</span>

Part A: A scientist examines a fruit fly gene involved with the regulation of body development. A section of the DNA sequence fo
Leokris [45]

Answer:

Part A: Thr-Leu-Val

Part B: ACC-UUG-GUU

Explanation:

When you transcribe a DNA sequence to mRNA, you need to remember that in RNA there is no Thymine (T), instead it has Uracil (U). So the base pairings would be like this compared to DNA base pairing:

DNA                RNA

A-T                  A-U

T-A                  T-A

C-G                 G-C

G-C                 C-G

Given the sequence the transcription will be as follows:

DNA :   TGG - AAC - CAA  

mRNA: ACC - UUG - GUU

Next, to translate it into amino acids, you will use the chart. Now amino acids pair in codons (3 base pairs at a time).  Let's take the first codon in your sequence:

ACC

1st  2nd   3rd

 A     C       C

Using the column on the left, find the row that matches it, so in this case A.

At the very top, there is another row of letters, looking at the row of A only, look for the column of the second base which is C.

Lastly, look at the right most column and find the letter that matches the third base within the box where A and C intersect. In this case, C is your third base.

The amino acid where all three intersect is your first amino acid which is Thr.

Just do this for the next codons and you will come up with the answer.

Which of the following statements about energy is TRUE? Question 17 options: It can be used over and over again. It tends to be
Law Incorporation [45]
<h2>Energy </h2>

Explanation:

Energy flows in only one direction through an ecosystem

  • The Sun supports most of Earth's ecosystems
  • Plants create chemical energy from abiotic factors that include solar energy and chemosynthesizing bacteria create usable chemical energy from unusable chemical energy
  • The food energy created by producers is passed to consumers, scavengers, and decomposers
  • Energy flows through an ecosystem in only one direction, it is passed from organisms at one trophic level or energy level to organisms in the next trophic level
  • Most of the energy at a trophic level – about 90% – is used at that trophic level and organisms need it for growth, locomotion, heating themselves, and reproduction
  • So animals at the second trophic level have only about 10% as much energy available to them as do organisms at the first trophic level
  • Animals at the third level have only 10% as much available to them as those at the second level
