Boyle's law states that the relationship between pressure and volume of a fixed amount of gas at a fixed temperature is inversely proportional. This means that the higher the pressure, the lower the volume, in a proportional relationship. Therefore, of the statements listed, b: 'the temperature and the number of molecules must remain constant for the law to apply' and d: 'a<span>s the pressure of a gas increases, the volume decreases proportionally</span>' are correct.
The purpose of transcription<span> is to make RNA copies of individual genes that the cell can use in the biochemistry. The </span>purpose<span> of translation is to synthesize proteins, which are used for millions of cellular functions. Translation is the synthesis of a protein from an mRNA template.

Compounds are made up of two or more elements which are chemically bonded. The elements and the properties of the compound are different. Exposure to light and chemical reaction can break compounds into elements. Compounds are only chemically separated not physically. The mass of elements determined the mass of the compound.
