DNA and RNA serve what purpose within a cell and living things.

Biology
1 answer:
Lorico [155]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

D. DNA Contains the genetic code / instructions for the cell and the living organism they build

Explanation:

DNA and RNA are nucleic acids that contain the genetic information so that a cell knows exactly what proteins it should make, what function it should serve.

Why not A: DNA and RNA don't strictly build cellular proteins; that job is up more to the ribosome, tRNA, and mRNA. While this could be acceptable, it's not as good an answer as D.

Why not B: This is incorrect.

Why not C: DNA and RNA don't do any of the dirty work of fighting off intruders; that's the job of the immune system, building antibodies, eating the viruses with white blood cells, and using the epidermis as a barrier to keep harmful things out.

What kind of fossil would a gastropoda shell must likely be?
DiKsa [7]
You didn't give any answer choices (i'm answering this through research and what i already know)

the first is fossilized dung, and that's not generally gastropod shells. A carbon film would be something thin, seeing as it's a film, and gastropods aren't that. A gastrolith is a stone swallowed by an animal to help with digestion, and that's also not a gastropod. 

<span>Gastropod fossils may be molds, but usually aren't. Still, they can be. It's a better answer than; film or stomach stones.</span>

​which organ is found in the left, upper quadrant of the abdomen and secretes digestive enzymes, insulin, and glucagon
irina [24]
This organ is the pancreas. It is a very small endocrine gland measuring 6 inches that is located on the left abdomen near the duodenum of the small intestine and the spleen. The pancreas is a very important organ that secretes digestive enzymes like:

pancreatic amylase - breaks down polysaccarides and glycogen into simple sugars
trypsin- breaks down proteins into amino acids
pancreatic lipase - breaks down triglycerides to fatty acids and monoglycerides
ribonuclease - digests nucleic acids

It also secretes insulin and glucagon to regulate blood sugar levels.

Compare what ways are planets and<br> dwarf planets similar.
Cerrena [4.2K]
So the similarity of the planets and the dwarf planets are they are both mostly round because they have sufficient gravity to flatten their own surfaces into a sphere. The differences are that planets are big enough to clear the whole region of space where they orbit the sun whereas dwarf planets do not.
