I would think on of the reasons is because the food that mice eat has a greater variety, in the sense that while a lion may only eat meat and have to catch its prey the mice can eat without relying on other animals. Lions also have more competition between other animals like them for example cheetahs and leopards on the other hand a mice is more independent. On period where food is scarse mice can get on with eating what the earth provides like plants lions can’t.
The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:
A) relay molecule
B) transducer
C) signal molecule
D) response molecule
Answer:
C) signal molecule
Explanation:
The transmission of signals in the neurons takes place in the form of electrical energy and chemical energy. The signals get transmitted in the form of electrical signals inside the neurons but when the signals have to be passed on to the next neuron on the pathway then the electrical signals get converted into the chemical signals.
The electrical signals cause the release of the chemical signals molecules called neurotransmitter from the synaptic vesicles in the presynaptic neuron and also opens the gated ion channels at the terminal.
The neurotransmitter thus acts as a signal molecule in the transmission of a signal through neurons.
Thus, C) signal molecule is the correct answer.
Answer:
b: many genes code for RNAs that function directly in the cell
Explanation:
<em>The central dogma</em> theory describes the basic framework for gene expression in living organisms. Genetic information from DNA is encoded or transcribed as RNA which then becomes translated as proteins.
The processes that take place for gene to be successfully expressed are;
- Replication
- Transcription
- Translation
<em>Replication</em> is a process whereby DNA makes a copy of itself to be distributed in daughter cells during cell division.
<em>Transcription</em> is the process whereby genetic information in DNA is encoded as RNAs. The RNAs are short-lived as they are quickly utilized in protein synthesis or <em>translation </em>process.
Hence, the RNAs do not function directly in the cells but mere intermediaries in the synthesis of proteins.
<em>The correct option is b.</em>
