Answer:

sweepstake route

Explanation:

From the view of the horses, the ocean barrier would be seen as a  <u>sweepstake route</u>.

<em>By definition, the sweepstake route refers to a rather difficult or dangerous path through which animals can move from one place to another. No animal would take this path ordinarily except by pure chance or when events leave no other option.</em>

In the illustration, no horse would engage in an adventure of swimming across the ocean to North America until the European settlers decided to ferry them across. Hence, to the horses, the ocean barrier represents a sweepstake route.

Cite the three main types of RNA and describe briefly the function of each.
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

mRNA: Carry genetic information from DNA to protein; serve as template for protein synthesis.

tRNA: Serves as adapter molecule and deliver specific amino acid from the cell pool to the mRNA-ribosome complex.

rRNA: Structural component of ribosomes.

Explanation:

There are three types of nongenetic RNAs: mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA.  

1. The messenger RNA (mRNA) is formed by the process of transcription in the nucleus. Transcription uses template strand of DNA to specify the nucleotide sequence in mRNA. The mRNA enters cytoplasm to join ribosomes. The nucleotide sequence of mRNA serves as a template and specifies the amino acid sequence of proteins.  

2. The transfer RNA (tRNA) serves as an adapter molecule during the process of protein synthesis and binds to the specific amino acids to deliver them to the protein-synthesizing machinery. The anticodon of tRNA binds to the complementary mRNA codons.  

3. The ribosomal RNA (rRNA) serves as structural components for ribosomes. Each of the subunits of ribosomes is made up of rRNA and proteins.

Which causes a sea breeze?
vodka [1.7K]

The wind will blow from the higher pressure over the water to lower pressure over the land causing the sea breeze.

This causes the low surface pressure to shift to over the ocean during the night and the high surface pressure to move over the land.
