DNA carries the instructions to make ?
oksian1 [2.3K]

Proteins.

Protein synthesis (process includes transcription and translation):

      The DNA sequence is copied (transcribed) by mRNA in the nucleus then translated in ribosomes which will instruct tRNA to collect specific amino acids to bring back to the ribosome by reading 3 letters at once (called codon, and one codon codes for 1 amino acid). Those amino acids will attach to each other and when the sequence codes for stop, it stops, and a protein forms.

How are stars described, using their physical properties<br> and distance
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer: Two characteristics define brightness: luminosity and magnitude. ... The size of the star and its surface temperature determine its luminosity. Apparent magnitude of a star is its perceived brightness, factoring in size and distance, while absolute magnitude is its true brightness irrespective of its distance from earth.

The hormone _____ is secreted by the cells of the pancreatic islets to increase the amount of glucose in the blood.​
Damm [24]

Answer: d. insulin

<span>Actually, there are two hormones secreted by islet cells within the pancreas: insulin and the glucagon.  However, their secretions in response to blood sugar levels, are in opposite fashion! </span>

 

<span>Insulin is normally secreted by the beta cells of the pancreas while glucagon by the alpha cells. The </span><span>amount of insulin secreted into the blood increases as the blood glucose rises.  In the same way, as the blood glucose falls, the amount of insulin secreted by the pancreas goes down.</span>

In glucagon, it is opposite. If blood glucose is high, then there is no glucagon secreted. Therefore, the answer is insulin.

Maintaining a rich variety of genetic material that may lead to discoveries
Elis [28]

Answer:

Maintaining a rich variety of genetic material that can lead to discoveries  useful for humans can be ensured by preserving biodiversity.

Explanation:

Options for this question are:

  • <em>Preserving biodiversity .</em>
  • <em>Increasing cloning .</em>
  • <em>Asexual reproduction .</em>
  • <em>Selective breeding.</em>

Biodiversity refers to the number of different living organisms that exist, and which are the product of evolution, those that have multiple ways of interacting, shaping life on the planet.

The human being is part of biodiversity, considered a natural heritage of the world and an element that provides balance to the biosphere.

An important characteristic of biodiversity is that it contains the different genetic information of each living being, each one of which is a functional element on which the maintenance of life on the planet depends, as well as the reservoir of the world's genetic potential, so it is necessary to guarantee its preservation.
