“Your words are bees about a pear-tree" is an example of a metaphor.

A metaphor is the use of a word or phrase to refer to something that it is not, invoking a direct similarity between the word or phrase used and the thing described, without the use of the words “like” or “as’’. Metaphor is very expressive and it states that something is something else. To find the meaning in a metaphor, it requires much understanding. “Your words are bees about a pear-tree" is an example of a metaphor. From this example, words are referred to bees about a pear-tree. Words and bees are not alike but do have something in common.

STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

multicellular.

Explanation:

Organisms exhibit various levels of organization of the body. It includes cellular level, tissue level, organ level, organ system level of organization. The unicellular organisms have single cells as their bodies and therefore do not have the genes that regulate the various parts of the body rather than the individual cells. Prokaryotic are unicellular organisms only and do not have multiple cells in their bodies. Therefore, the mentioned genes are the regulatory genes that coordinate the functioning of various parts of the body of a multicellular organism. For instance, the genes involved in regulation of blood glucose levels.

Nataly [62]

Answer:

5556

Explanation:

If a DNA polymerase synthesizes in average 50 nucleotides/second, that means that in three hours (10800 seconds) it synthesizes about 540000 nucleotides.

However, if the human genome is composed of 3000000000 (3 billion) base pairs (nucleotids), the minimum number of DNA polymerases (working in the same number of origins of replication) to finish the duplication of all the genome in three hours is 5555,5. (3000000000/540000). As we know there is no half polymerase, so we round to 5556.

5556 molecules of DNA polymerases acting on 5556  origins of replication are needed.
