Answer: D. Gradually, as generations of elephants continued to selectively use and develop their trunks.

Explanation: Lamarck believed that organisms pass on traits to their offspring that they had acquired through use or diuse during their lifetime.  In this example, the theory would be that over time, elephants used their trunks in such a way that they became long and powerful.

Enzymes that break down dna catalyze the hydrolysis of the covalent bonds that join nucleotides together. What would happen to d
alexdok [17]

The phosphodiester bonds of the polynucleotide backbone in DNA would be broken.

The phosphate of one nucleotide is covalently bound to the sugar of the next nucleotide in DNA molecule (or hydroxyl groups in phosphoric acid react with hydroxyl groups on 3' carbon atom of one sugar molecule (deoxyribose) and the 5' carbon atom of another sugar molecule (deoxyribose) to form two ester bonds).

Hydrolysis of phosphodiester bonds is catalyzed by the action of enzymes phosphodiesterases.

Compare a bacterial cell and a human body cell. Include in your response
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

Differences: Size

Similarities:  Organelles

Explanation:

The most important difference is size. The volume of a typical human cell is 4,000 times more than the volume of a typical bacterial cell. Today's bacterial cells are direct descendants of the prokaryotic cells found in rocks that were formed one billion years after Earth.

Organelles are the biggest difference between bacteria and cells that make up the human body. An organelle is a tiny cellular structure that performs specific functions within a cell. Organelles are embedded within the cytoplasm of eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. In the more complex eukaryotic cells, organelles are often enclosed by their own membrane

A scan of Sam's genome for the 100 most common mutations known to cause RP didn't find anything. How can you explain this result
yan [13]

Answer:

He is either not carrying the gene for RP or the RP gene has mutated.

Explanation:

RP or Retina Pigmentosa is an eye defect inherited by a person from a parent. The disease is degenerative as the individual gradually loses his sight. It normally starts off as night-blindness and could go as bad as a total loss of sight.

The mutation of both the RPGR and RP2 genes which are responsible for the function and structure of light-reception in the eye accounts for most cases of Retina Pigmentosa disease.
