Scientists have observed that in the Antarctic ecosystem Adélie and Chinstrap penguin populations have decreased in the past 40

years by about half. However, Gentoo penguin populations have remained steady and are possibly increasing. Increasing ocean temperatures in the Antarctic is resulting in less sea ice and less krill because krill depend on sea ice.
Which statement, if true, BEST explains why Gentoo penguins have a survival advantage in the changing Antarctic environment?

A.
Adult Gentoo penguins average about 0.5 kilograms more in weight than adult Adélie and Chinstrap penguins.

B.
Leopard seals prey heavily upon juvenile penguins.

C.
Gentoo penguins eat more types of prey than either Adélie or Chinstrap penguins.

D.
Penguins spend a large amount of their energy on keeping warm during harsh winters with very low temperatures.

How do the three types of RNA work together at a ribosome to synthetize<br> A polypeptide?
cluponka [151]

Answer:

Explanation:

Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is a polymeric molecule essential in various biological roles in coding, decoding, regulation and expression of genes. RNA and DNA are nucleic acids, and, along with lipids, proteins and carbohydrates, constitute the four major macromolecules essential for all known forms of life. Like DNA, RNA is assembled as a chain of nucleotides, but unlike DNA it is more often found in nature as a single strand folded onto itself, rather than a paired double strand. Cellular organisms use messenger RNA (mRNA) to convey genetic information (using the nitrogenous bases of guanine, uracil, adenine, and cytosine, denoted by the letters G, U, A, and C) that directs synthesis of specific proteins. Many viruses encode their genetic information using an RNA genome.
