Answer:

The four factors that affect evolution are mutations, natural selection, genetic drift and the gene flow, In the case, if the ground finches that Grants studied, we can observe the working of the natural selection. Due to change in the conditions in the environment, the large beak was an advantageous trait that was favored by the natural selection. The result of this process was an increase in numbers of large beaked finches and decrease in small-beaked finches compared to the initial numbers in the population.

ehidna [41]

Answer:

Steroids are prescribed to treat the condition of inadequate testosterone production, to treat the injury, and to initiate puberty. Some of the potential side effects of steroids are that in males it can cause reduction in sperm count, and shrinkage of testicles. While in women, it can cause the growth of body hair and can reduce the size of breasts.  

In both males and females, steroids can cause liver and kidney damage, acne, heart issue, and psychological issues.  

Diuretics help to reduce the amount of fluid in the blood vessels, which further helps to lower the blood pressure. Some of the side effects of diuretics are fatigue, muscle cramps, irregular heartbeat, dehydration, and even death.  

Creatine assists in making muscles to produce more ATP and delay muscle fatigue. Some of the side effects are stomach and muscle cramps, diarrhea, nausea, weight gain, and water retention.  

Stimulants help to reduce fatigue, better alertness and suppress appetite. Some of the side effects are nervousness, irritability, increased blood pressure, insomnia, hallucinations, and heart attack.  

Boron is used in the treatment of osteoarthritis, enhances the levels of testosterone, and for better muscle coordination and better-thinking skills. Some of the side effects of boron are diarrhea, dermatitis, discoloration of feces, vomiting, nausea, and upper abdominal pain.  

Vanadium is used to treat low blood sugar, diabetes, heart issue, high cholesterol, water retention, syphilis, and better athletic performance in weight training, and even prevents cancer. However, it can cause some side effects like green tongue, and diarrhea.

The assisted transport of a molecule across the cell membrane without an expenditure of energy is known as what?a. Diffusion b.
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:b. Facilitated transport

Explanation:in the usual activities of the cell,it's cell membrane is responsible for the movement of substance in and out of the cell.

Such substances include nutrients,water, oxygen etc.

The plasma membrane select the substances that it allows into the cell thus it is said to be selectively permeable.

The plasma membrane of the cell has a phospholipid bilayer made up of cholesterol, proteins and glycoproteins.

The proteins on the membrane are useful for facilitated diffusion.

In this diffusion process,the proteins helps to carry large molecules across the cell membrane.such molecules includes glucose,amino acids etc.

In the process energy is not expended so it is a type of passive transport.

An mRNA molecule has a sequence 5'- CAGAUCUAAUGCUUAUCGGAU-3'. When translated in a laboratory setting in which translation can b
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Three reading frames

Explanation:

Translation of mRNA always happen in one direction from the 5' end to the 3' end of the RNA strand.

Reading frame refers to the grouping of three consecutive bases to form a codon that can constitute an amino acid.

There are six possible reading frames in any nucleotide sequence.

Three from the 3' to the 5' end and three possible reading frames from the 5' to the 3' end.

As mentioned earlier, translation in mRNA happens in one direction therefore the three possible reading frames are;

  1. 5'- C AGA UCU AAU GCU UAU CGG AU-3'.
  2. 5'- CA GAU CUA AUG CUU AUC GGA U-3'.
  3. 5'- CAG AUC UAA UGC UUA UCG GAU-3'.
