It allows them to glide smoothly through the water with less resistance, which saves their energy & makes them fast swimmers.

Most of the marine animals have a stream lined body, which means, they have a sharp and pointed at the front. The pointed front of the organism allow to cut the resistance of the water. In case, the body is not pointed at the front and it is blunt, the water current and flow would resist the movement of the organism further. So, for the locomotion purpose, it is important to have a streamlined body. Further smooth and hair less body also decrease the resistance during the movement in the water.

11. Fill in the blanks to describe the similarities between transcription and DNA
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

<em>Both transcription and DNA replication produce nucleic acids which are polymers of  (C, G, A, and T or U). Both processes depend on an  enzyme which adds one nucleotide at a time. </em>

<em>To  determine which nucleotide is added next, both transcription and DNA replication  use the nucleotide sequence in a  </em><em>template DNA</em><em> strand and the  </em><em>base pairing </em><em>rules.</em>

Transcription is a process through which RNA is synthesized using a DNA template. An enzyme known as RNA polymerase adds nucleotide bases to grow the RNA strand.

Replication is a process during which DNA makes a copy of itself. The double helix unwinds and each strand is used as a template to make a new strand. An enzyme known as DNA polymerase adds nucleotide bases to grow the new strands.

<u>In both transcription and replication process, the nucleotide sequence of the template DNA strand determines the which nucleotide will be added to the new RNA and DNA strands being synthesized according to the base pairing rule. Purine bases always pair with pyrimidine bases and more specifically, cytosine always pair with guanine while adenine always pair with thymine (uracil in RNA).</u>

When Thomas Hunt Morgan crossed his red-eyed F1 generation flies to each other, the F2 generation included both red- and white-e
EastWind [94]

Answer:

Gene is present on the X chromosome.

Explanation:

The two main types of chromosomes are autosomes and sex chromosomes. Autosomes regulates the functioning of the body but do not play role in determining the sex of an individual. The sex chromosomes distinguishes between the male and female.

The linkage of sex chromosomes is present in Drosophila as well. The cross between the F1 generation leads to both the red and white eyed flies because the eye color gene is present on the X chromosome. The males contain only one X chromosome and the presence of recessive gene results in the white color whereas in females both the X chromosomes must contain recessive gene for the white color.  

Thus, the answer is gene involved is on the X chromosome.

Which of the following best summarizes how hormone levels are controlled?
anastassius [24]

Answer:

Option A, Hormones are controlled by a feedback loop; information about a system is sent back to the controller of the system to improve its function.

Explanation:

Negative feedback loop controls the hormone production and release. This is done by eliciting the release of substances till a certain level after which the stop signal is activated thereby preventing further release. By this method,  concentration of hormones in blood is maintained within the narrow range.  

For example – Thyroid hormones is released when the anterior pituitary signals the thyroid. This continues till the hormones in the blood reach the threshold level. Once the threshold level is reached, hypothalamus receives a feedback and then signals anterior pituitary to inhibit further signaling to the thyroid

Hence, option A is correct
