Which of the following statements is an important consequence of the first law of thermodynamics for a living organism? The ener

gy content of an organism is constant. Organisms grow by converting energy into organic matter. An organism ultimately must obtain all of the necessary energy for life from its environment. The entropy of an organism decreases with time as the organism grows in complexity.

Answer:

An organism ultimately must obtain all of the necessary energy for life from its environment.

Explanation:

The First Law of Thermodynamics is also known as the law of conservation of energy. This law states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, it only can change its form. The energy in a closed system remains constant.

All the organisms require energy to perform their life processes. The ultimate source of energy is the sun.  The energy is supplied by the sun is used by green plants to synthesise food (glucose), chemical energy. Thus, light energy is converted to chemical energy. The chemical energy is transferred to animals through food chains.

A strand of DNA contains the bases adenine, cytosine, cytosine, and guanine, in that order. Which would be the order
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

If a strand of DNA contains the bases adenine, cytosine, cytosine and guanine the order  of the bases on the opposite strand is thymine, guanine, guanine and cytosine.

Explanation:

DNA contains a double strand, each of which contains a specific sequence of bases —adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine— whose order determines the genetic information stored in this nucleic acid.

The sequence of bases on one DNA strand is complementary on the other strand, taking into account the complementarity of bases, i.e. the purines adenine and guanine are complemented by the pyrimidines thymine and cytosine, respectively:  

A = T

G ≡ C

<u>So that the sequence A - C - C - G of one chain is complemented by the sequence T - G - G - C of the other</u>.

<em>     Taking into account the above information, the other options can be discarded, as they do not comply with the complementarity of bases in the DNA.</em>

Which of the following phenomena is a consequence of Independent Assortment? 1. Pure breeding plants, when mated with each other
Natalka [10]

Answer: The answer is that the phenotypic ratio among phenotypes produced from an F1 X F1 dihybrid cross is 9:3:3:1.

Explanation:

Independent assortment of genes explains how alleles on different chromosomes arrange independently of one another during gamete formation.

So, a dihybrid cross involving TWO characters (e.g Seed color & seed shape) would have its respective alleles DISTRIBUTED whether dominant or recessive, for crossing to occur and yield varying proportion of offspring in the well spread ratio of 9:3:3:1; making it a consequence of independent assortment of genes
