Answer:Codon

Explanation:

A codon is a sequence of three bases found on the messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule which is translated to produce an amino acid. Each amino acid is coded by one or more specific codons. If the codon is changed through a mutation, the amino acid produced may be different. However, in this case, the other codons that produce Leucine are:

UUA, UUG, CUU, CUC, CUA and CUG

So the code CUU could mutate to CUC, CUA or CUG and leucine would still be produced.

Which statement is true about a cell wall but not a cell membrane? A). It forms the outer layer of a cell B). It gives an animal cell its shape C). It is selectively permeable. D).It is made mostly of cellulose
Solution 1

Answer;

D). It is made mostly of cellulose

Explanation;

-Cell walls and cell membranes differ in a number of ways, which include; Cell wall is found in plant cell and cell membrane is found in animal cells, cell membrane is covered by the cell wall which forms the outer most covering, cell wall is completely permeable whereas cell membrane is semi-permeable, cell wall is made up of cellulose and cell membrane is made up of lipids and proteins and Cell membrane is also known as plasma lemma.

Which of the following is an example of applied research? 1. evaluating the effectiveness of chemotherapy for cancer patients 2. producing a new drug to lower blood pressure 3. researching the relationship between exposure to UV rays and skin cancer 4. all of the above
Solution 1

Answer: 3. researching the relationship between exposure to UV rays and skin cancer.

Explanation:

Applied research is an application based research as it utilizes the knowledge of scientific literature to solve the problems related to science. It is based upon the experimental procedure to find the cause of a natural phenomena.

Researching the ralationship between exposure to UV rays and skin rays. is the correct answer because it can be observed on the basis of experimental procedures the impact of UV under control conditions over the skin.

Question
What element do all organic compounds contain? Nitogen Oxygen Carbon Hydrogen
Solution 1

Answer: Carbon

Explanation:

Carbon is a chemical element which exhibit an atomic mass of 12. It is a nonmetal. Carbon is the key ingredient which is present in all the organic molecules. As it is abundantly available in nature. It exists on earth in the form of solid, liquid and gas. It is present in the biomolecules such as fat, proteins and carbohydrates.

On the basis of the above explanation, the carbon is the element which is present in all organic compounds.

Solution 2

Answer:

Option C, Carbon

Explanation:

Carbon is the most abundant non metal found in all organic matter. Be it protein, carbohydrates, fats, DNA, lipids or any any other organic compound, all have either simple or complex structures comprising of carbon molecule as a major building block.

In terms of organic chemistry , any molecule that has carbon as  a central element along with several other elements such as hydrogen , nitrogen , phosphorus etc is an organic compound. Carbon is a versatile element and is able to form four covalent bonds. These properties make it more preferable element for organic substances.

Hence, option C is correct

Ocean coring: is the best technique for sampling the ocean floor uses high energy pulses to penetrate the bottom layers of rock is used to study the effects of turbidity currents or all of the above?
Solution 1

Answer:

option A, is the best technique for sampling the ocean floor

Explanation:

Ocean coring is a process in which sample of sea floor sediment is taken and studied to understand its composition. it is a common practice during the petroleum production from sea floor and hence is known as ocean sediment coring.

Usually a cylindrical sample is extracted beneath the sea floor by dropping a cylinder through the water. The sedimentary sample collected show the deposition of sediment (variation) with due course of time.

hence , option A is correct

Solution 2
I believe that it is used to study the effects of turbidity currents.
