What is the purpose of a dichotomous key of the sort you might find in a field guide?
Serjik [45]

Good morning!! The purpose of both a dichotomous key and a field guide's purpose is to identify organisms. The only difference between the two is the a dichotomous key just uses descriptions to identify the animal with no pictures, but a field guide uses pictures to identify the organism. Another thing that separates the two is that the dichotomous key gives questions/descriptions that describe the organism, whereas the field guide uses a brief description of the animal. Hope I helped!!

What does it mean when scientists say that living organisms share a universal genetic code?
lesya [120]
When scientists say they share a universal genetic code it means that all organisms it can mean either DNA as the main source of hereditary information in all life forms we know of  or more likely that all organisms we know of use a three base pair code for the synthesis of proteins, DNA produces mRNA. This mRNA is read three base pairs at a time by a ribosome and this is called the genetic code.

In 3–5 sentences, compare and contrast the flow of matter and energy in each trophic level for land-based ecosystems and marine
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

Unlike matter, as energy flows through an ecosystem in one direction, from photosynthetic organisms to herbivores to omnivores and carnivores and decomposers, less and less energy becomes available to support life.

Explanation:

Primary producers use energy from the sun to produce their own food in the form of glucose, and then primary producers are eaten by primary consumers who are in turn eaten by secondary consumers, and so on, so that energy flows from one trophic level, or level of the food chain, to the next.

Energy is acquired by living things in three ways: photosynthesis, chemosynthesis, and the consumption and digestion of other living or previously-living organisms by heterotrophs.

Living organisms would not be able to assemble macromolecules (proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and complex carbohydrates) from their monomeric subunits without a constant energy input.

Human ABO blood type is controlled by the I locus and has three possible alleles. The alleles which code for type A blood (IA) a
Oxana [17]

Answer:

1/8 (12.5 %)

Explanation:

Cross: IAi X  IAIB

F1: 1/4 IAIA 1/4 IAIB 1/4 IAi 1/4 IBi

Phenotypes:

- IAIA and IAi >> type A blood

- IBi >> type B blood

- IAIB >> type AB blood

Phenotypic frequency type A blood: 1/2  (i.e., 1/4 IAIA +  1/4 IAi) >>

Probability to have 3 offspring with type A blood: 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/8

The human ABO blood group is a system consisting of there different alleles: A, B, and O. This system is used in genetics as an example of codominance because both A and B alleles are expressed in heterozygous individuals (i.e., IAIB), whereas only the allele A is expressed in individuals that have A and O alleles (since O allele is recessive to the A and B alleles).

The amino acids of a growing polypeptide chain are held together by what kind of bond during the elongation stage of translation
kifflom [539]

Answer: Peptide bond

Explanation: A peptide bond is the covalent chemical bond  bond that holds together two amino acids which occurs when the carboxylic group of one molecule reacts with the amino group of the other molecule, linking the two molecules and releasing a water molecule catalyzed by peptidyl transferase, an RNA-based enzyme  integrated into the growing chain.

In the elongation stage ie when Long chain polypeptides are forming , peptide bonds  are formed by linking many amino acids to each other. These peptide bonds of amino acids are  relatively unstable, and  can break spontaneously in a slow process as can be seen especially  in enzymes of living organisms in the making and breaking of bonds.
