Proteins are large molecules composed of one or more chains of amino acids in a specific order determined by the base sequence of nucleotides.
Carbohydrates are any of various neutral compounds of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
Fat is a fuel source for the body, fat is the major storage form of energy in the body.
Answer:
The water bottle sign or configuration refers to the shape of the cardiac silhouette on erect frontal chest x-rays in patients who have a very large pericardial effusion. Typically the effusion has accumulated over many weeks to months (e.g. in patients with malignancy) and the pericardium has gradually stretched.
Answer:
Lymphatic vessels are part of the lymphatic system.
Explanation:
They are similar to blood vessels that are found in the cardiovascular system, but they carry lymph instead of blood.
Answer: variation, reproduction, and heritability.
Explanation: Genetic variation is an important force in evolution as it allows natural selection to increase or decrease frequency of alleles already in the population. Genetic variation is advantageous to a population because it enables some individuals to adapt to the environment while maintaining the survival of the population.
All species must reproduce to survive. Organisms cannot live forever, so they must reproduce to allow their species to continue to live on. Reproduction is nature's way of allowing a species to survive.
Higher heritability means the trait evolves faster; fewer generations are required for the trait to increase to the same degree as a trait with lower heritability. For this reason, genetic correlation and heritability show how a trait might change from one generation to the next and into the future.
In the coding region, natural selection tends to eliminate all of the mutations because of the high importance these regions have. The coding region contains genes that synthesize proteins and the changes in the DNA sequence can have devastating effects on the cell. Therefore, there are very few differences in the sequences of coding regions that can help us trace the lineage.
On the other hand, in the non-coding regions, the mutations often accumulate because they have little effect on the cell and the adaptive value of the organism. This enables us to trace up the lineage by comparing the sequences and seeing the differences in the sequences.
