PLS HELP ME THANKS :) write a short paragraph evaluating the different methods of seed dispersal.

Biology

Schach [20]2 years ago

Explanation:

There are five main modes of seed dispersal: gravity, wind, ballistic, water, and by animals. Some plants are serotinous and only disperse their seeds in response to an environmental stimulus. Because plants cannot walk around and take their seeds to other places, they have developed other methods to disperse (move) their seeds. Dandelion seeds float away in the wind

Need a hypothesis for “How are proteins built from RNA”

Dima020 [189]

Hi!

Hypothesis:

<em>Proteins are built from the translation of messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules</em>

RNA, or ribonucleic acid, is a structure that is similar to DNA, except that it exists as a single strand, consists of a ribose sugar instead of a deoxyribose sugar and has the base uracil (U) instead of thyamine (T).

RNA is generated through transcription of the DNA molecule, resulting in a <em>complementary </em>molecule of the template DNA strand. For instance, if the sequence of the DNA was:

ATGCGCAGTTATTGCGAT

The corresponding RNA sequence will be:

UACGCGUCAAUAACGCUA <em>(complementary with U instead of T)</em>

<h3><u>From RNA to Protein</u></h3>

The RNA molecule in our case is known as the mRNA. After transcription the mRNA molecule is transported to the cytoplasm, where a ribosome binds to it for another molecule to translate the sequence. This translation is mediated by an RNA molecule known as the tRNA molecule which enters the ribosome to catalyze the reaction.

These molecules identify a sequence of 3 bases (codon) and for specific codon sequences, the tRNA allocates specific amino acid. For instance, for the codon <em>UCA</em>, the tRNA will allocate a <em>Serine residue.</em>

This translation process starts at specific three base sequences, known as start codons, and terminates at specific three base sequences known as stop codons.

In this manner, a sequence of amino acids respective to the mRNA codon sequence is synthesized, and as we identify proteins as chains of amino acids that are covalently linked together through peptide bonds, we can clearly see that proteins are built directly from RNA, and indirectly from DNA.

Hope this helps!

Flower color in the varieties of pea plants studied by Mendel is controlled by alleles at a single locus. A group of peas homozy

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

Option 1, 0

Explanation:

Complete question

Flower color in the varieties of pea plants studied by Mendel is controlled by alleles at a single locus. A group of peas homozygous for purple flowers is grown in a garden. All flowers are purple, yet there is some variation in the intensity of the purple color. The estimated heritability for this observed variation in flower color would be

0.
0.5.
0.75.
1.
Cannot be determined without additional information

Solution

Given all the pea plants in the garden are homozygous purple (PP)

If we cross two PP parents, the following offspring will be produces

PP * PP

PP, PP, PP, PP

This means that all offspring are also homozygous purple.

Thus, chances of inheriting variation in the purple color of offspring are negligible. However, the variation in their color can be due to their individual interaction with the variable factors in the environment

Hence, option 1, 0 is correct

You are attempting to see if a suspect is associated with a crime. The only evidence you have is a tiny drop of blood from the c

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

There are no options in this question but generally a sample of DNA can be increased;

By using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technique.

Explanation:

This question describes the application of making molecular biology to solving a crime problem; a branch called forensics. In this case where an insufficient small amount of DNA sample was recovered from the blood in a crime scene, the polymerase chain reaction technique, commonly known as PCR can be used to increase the DNA sample.

In the 1980's, a molecular technique used to amplify part of a template DNA strand to produce several copies of it, was invented by Kary Mullis and his colleagues. This amplification refers to the numerical increase in the number of DNA sequence.

Which sentence correctly describes the relationship between DNA, genes, and chromosomes? A gene is a segment on the DNA. DNA is

kotykmax [81]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The correct statement is option A which is, "A gene is a segment on the DNA. DNA is wrapped in proteins to form a chromosome".

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

A gene is the part of DNA in the nucleus which encodes for the specific trait in the body. DNA is the nucleotide sequence which is the blue print for the whole organism. It contains genes for all the structures and functions in the body.
So it is very long sequence containing the million of genes. So in nucleus it is present in compress form. It is wrapped on the histones proteins and condense and supersondense into a specific structure which is known as chromosome.

Can the world run out of carbon?

No because we keep putting it into the earth also decomposing animals give off carbon.
