A macromolecule is a very large molecule, such as protein, commonly created by the polymerization of smaller subunits (monomers). ... The most common macromolecules in biochemistry are biopolymers (nucleic acids, proteins, carbohydrates and lipids) and large non-polymeric molecules (such as lipids and macrocycles).
Answer: There are two possible effective choices
A. Start contour plowing on the slopes where landslides happen.
E. Reduce the slopes where landslides occur.
Explanation:
Plowing can help flow water through the slopes instead of it all building up in one area all at once. But reducing the slopes can slow landslides due to the smaller incline, but will not completely get rid of them.
Answer:
Non-coding DNA regions play important roles in regulating transcriptional activity by encoding different types of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), acting as scaffold attachment regions, acting as enhancer specific regions, etc.
Explanation:
Historically, it had been believed that non-coding DNA sequences were 'junk DNA' since they don't encode for proteins (beyond the sequences that are transcribed into functional non-coding RNAs, i.e., transfer RNA and ribosomal RNA). However, in the last years, it has been shown that non-coding DNA sequences play critical roles in regulating gene expression and genome function. For example, evolutionary conserved non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) with regulatory roles on gene expression such as, for example, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) have been mapped in non-coding DNA sequences, thereby evidencing the functional significance of these regions. In consequence, the conservative nature of certain non-coding DNA sequences evidence that mutations in such regions may have significant deleterious effects, and thereby they could have a negative impact on the fitness of the individual.
A hypothesis is an educated guess while using reasonable thinking, about the answer to a scientific question. Although it is not proof in an experiment, it is the predicted outcome of the experimentation. It can either be supported or not supported at all, but it depends on the data gathered.
