Answer:

Total biomass of the tree= 75000kilograms

Explanation:

Let us assume that total biomass of tree is "X" Kilograms.

Given

Biomass of insects = 3000 kilograms

Biomass of insects as a percentage of biomass of tree = 4%

Thus,

Mathematically the relation between the biomass of tree and insects can be written as

4% of X = 3000 Kilogram

\frac{4}{100} * X = 3000\\X = \frac{3000* 100}{4} \\X = 3000*25\\X = 7500Kilograms.

Total biomass of the tree= 75000kilograms

4%= 3000kg
100(3000/4)= total biomass of tree= 75000kg

What is the job of tRNA
exis [7]

Answer:

To make our mRNA

Explanation:

I think it is this one, but I am not sure, sorry if it is wrong. :(  

But I do know this, I think it might help you:

A transfer RNA (tRNA) is a special kind of RNA molecule. Its job is to match an mRNA codon with the amino acid it codes for. You can think of it as a kind of molecular "bridge" between the two. Each tRNA contains a set of three nucleotides called an anticodon.

Describe the importance of biomes such as forests, freshwater, and marine biomes? How have human actions affected these biomes?
Allisa [31]

Forest biome:  It gives us medicinal plants, woods for commercial purpose. Forests provides us rubber and fibers that is very important for the industries for making various products. They also contribute to perform ecological  functions such as carbon storage, nutrient cycling, water and air purification. It also provides habitat to the wildlife.

Freshwater biome:  We use fresh water for drinking water, irrigation, sanitation systems, and in industrial factories. Water used from groundwater, rivers and lakes is regained by rain and snowfall.

Marine biome:  It serves huge amount of oxygen into the environment and absorbs the atmospheric carbon dioxide.

As a result of the activity of human there is a significant decrease in the number of trees. The products now used are synthetically made which were made up of natural fibers previously. The water source such as rivers, lakes, and ponds are polluted due to which many water borne diseases are increasing day by day. The accumulation of waste which are found in marine biome are reducing the number of flora present inside marine ecosystem.

Suppose a gene has two alleles, one of which is dominant over the other. An individual whose genotype is for the recessive allel
Trava [24]

Answer:

This question is incomplete, the options are:

A. Two copies of the allele that determines phenotype whenever the allele is present

B. Two copies of the allele whose effect is hidden unless the other allele is absent

C. One copy of the allele that determines phenotype when present and one copy of the other allele

D. One copy of each of two alleles that both contribute equally to determining phenotype

The answer is B.

Explanation:

According to Gregor Mendel, a Gene comes in two alternative forms called ALLELES. One allele called the DOMINANT ALLELE is capable of masking the phenotypic expression of the other called the RECESSIVE ALLELE. The dominant allele will always express itself whenever it is present. However, a recessive trait will only be expressed when two alleles for recessiveness occur in the gene.

An individual whose genotype is for the recessive allele will have two copies of the allele whose effect is hidden unless the other allele is absent. This means that in that particular gene, the two present alleles will be recessive alleles.
