Contrast the different ways bromeliads and pitcher plants acquire nutrients from animal sources. NOT COMPARE.

1 answer:

3 0

<span>Bromeliads are an example of mutualism where they create mini-ecosystems that house other small animals by collecting rainwater in their leaves. The bromeliad benefits from the nutrients when these organisms decompose when they die. Unlike the Pitcher plants which are predators, they actively trap insects and other small animals in their pitchers.

A particular triplet of bases in the template strand of DNA is 5' AGT 3'. The corresponding codon for the mRNA transcribed is __

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is 3' UCA 5'

Explanation:

The rule of pairing of base-pair says that A and T base pairs with each other with two hydrogen bonds and G and C base pairs with each other with three hydrogen bonds in DNA. In the case of RNA Uracil comes at the place of thymine that means uracil replaces thymine.

Therefore according to this base-pairing rule the corresponding codon of mRNA transcribes from DNA codon 5' AGT 3' will be 3' UCA 5' as U came in place of A nucleotide, C comes in place of G nucleotide, and A comes in place of T nucleotide.

Therefore the correct answer is 3' UCA 5'.

The only direct connection between the pectoral girdle and the axial skeleton is where the A) clavicle articulates with the hume

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. clavicle articulates with the manubrium of the sternum.

Explanation:

The clavicle is an anterior bone whose sternal end articulates with the manubrium of the sternum at the sternoclavicular joint. The sternal end is also anchored to the first rib by the costoclavicular ligament. The medial end, also known as the sternal end of the clavicle, has a triangular shape and articulates with the manubrium portion of the sternum. This forms the sternoclavicular joint, which is the only bony articulation between the pectoral girdle of the upper limb and the axial skeleton.

Bacteria with the ability to break down certain types of plastic are placed with a colony of E. coli bacteria that lack this abi

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

D. Plasmids are nucleic acids which can pass on traits

Explanation:

A Nucleic acid is one of the four biomolecule polymers in living systems. It is made up of monomeric units called Nucleotides. RNA and DNA are the two nucleic acids in existence and they function in storage and expression of genetic information.

According to the question, a colony of bacteria that can break plastics were mixed with the colony that can't break plastics. The two different colonies engage plamids, which conferred the ability to break plastics to some of the colonies that previously couldn't. This tells us that the ability to break plastics in the certain bacteria colony is GENETIC.

If the trait is genetic, the plasmid must be a nucleic acid because of the ability to genetically pass on traits. Note that, a plasmid is an extra-chromosomal DNA (nucleic acid) capable of replicating on its own. Hence, plasmids are nucleic acids which can pass on traits.
