A research study looked at variations in snail populations in urban areas compared to natural ecosystems outside of the urban de

velopment. Urban areas tend to be be warmer, trapping more solar energy and reflecting less light back out of the atmosphere. The study found that brown snails were more commonly found in the natural ecosystem while yellow banded snails were found in the urban, developed areas. Which statement best describes the distribution in the phenotypes for the snails in this scenario?
A) The variations in the snail populations are random and unrelated to the locations.

B) The variation in the snail population is due to sexual reproduction of the snails in the urban development and asexual reproduction of the snails in the natural ecosystem.

C) The variation in the snail population is due to mutations while the distribution of colors in the population is due to genetic drift. The location of the colors is a random process.

D) The variation in the snail populations is due to mutations while the distribution of colors in the population is due to the changes in temperature in the two areas. Lighter colored snails survive with greater frequency in the warmer urban development.

Based on the 20 amino acids found in proteins, there are 6840 possible variations in a polymer composed of just three amino acids.

<h3>What are amino acids?</h3>

Amino acids are the molecules from which protein molecules are made from.

There are 20 common amino acids from which protein molecules are built up from.

The amino acids are joined one to another in the protein by peptide bonds.

In a polymer composed of three amino acids, the possible variations are calculated by permutation.

The possible variations are 20 permutation 3.

nPr = n!/(n - r)!

where n = 20 r = 3

nPr = 20!/(20 - 3)!

  nPr = 6840

Therefore, there are 6840 possible variations in a polymer composed of just three amino acids.

The primary function of the respiratory system is to provide ____________ needed by cells to metabolize nutrient molecules, and
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

Oxygen; cabondioxide,Cellular respiration

Explanation:

Breathing a Mechanism of respiration supplys Oxygen molecules which diffuses in through the respiratory tracts to reach the alveolar sacs for diffusion to the blood enroute the body cells.

These Oxygen molecules are use for combustion of metabolites e. g glucose.The reactions take place in the Matix of Mitochondrial via Citric Acid Cycle.where ATPs were produced.Molecules of Carbondioxide were librated, as byproducts.

Co factors NAD+and FAD+ trapped H+ atoms and take these accros the intramembranes . The protons were moved down their concentration gradients to supply more ATPs.The energy for the proton pump was supplied by electron chains transport system. The electrons were supplied by the splitting of Hydrogen atom carried by the co-factors to:protons and electrons.

This redox process of ATPs production is called Oxidative phosphorylation.
