Answer:

Increases

Explanation:

Biomagnification refers to a phenomenon in which the harmful toxic chemical gest magnified or amplified or increases in the food chain trophic level.

The biomagnification is caused by the bio-accumulation of the toxic material in the organisms.

The harmful toxic chemical enters the food chain through eating like when the crops are sprayed with pesticides and insecticides runoff in the water. From there the toxic material enters the aquatic food chain like from the planktons to fish and then to vultures.

The organisms at higher trophic level die because of the accumulation of the infected lower trophic organisms.

Thus, Increases is the correct answer.

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is - dandelion weeds adapted many tricks to reduce all other competitors as it is invasive species.

Explanation:

The dandelion is a successful weed. It's got a lot of adaption to eliminate or dominate other plants and weeds, such as ethylene gas released by its rosette of leaves that prevent other plants from growing near dandelion.

Seeds of dandelion also adapted seed dispersion tactic by seed-parachutes into the wind.  Dandelion weed does not require to be pollinated and rapidly increases their numbers. Dandelion has a taproot that goes deep into the soil, up to three feet down for water and nutrients.

Suppose that a scientist deletes the AAUAAA consensus sequence, the poly(A) tail, or the 5' cap from pre‑mRNAs in an mRNA. She t
Andrej [43]

Answer:

<h2>AAUAA deletion- (B ) </h2><h2> </h2><h2>Poly(A) tail deletion- (C) </h2><h2> </h2><h2>5' cap deletion-  (A) </h2>

Explanation:

(A) introns are not removed from the pre-mRNA due to 5' deletion;

(B) the pre-mRNA is not cleaved at the cleavage site due to AAUAA deletion

(C) the mRNA is not transported to the cytoplasm due to poly A tail deletion;

AAUAA deletion:  if we delete the AAUAA  sequence then there is the change of sequence of pre- mRNA that the pre-mRNA is not cleaved at the cleavage site .

Poly(A) tail deletion: Poly(A) tail is the long tail of Adenine in the 3' end of mRNA, after the deletion of Poly(A) tail, it affects the transport of mRNA from the nucleus to the cytoplasm and  the mRNA is not transported to the cytoplasm if tail is deleted.

5' cap deletion; the effect of 5' cap deletion is that introns are not removed from the pre-mRNA. The process of intron removing and exon joining is called RNA splicing.

marshall27 [118]
Antithrombin is a protein molecule that inactivates several enzymes of coagulation system. It is a glycoprotein produced by the liver consisting of 432 amino acids and three disulfide bonds. The antithrombin found in the blood and the cell lining blood vessels function to prevent unwanted formation of clot.
