The fur color of the adult northern seal, created by a dark brown pigment, is due to a specific enzyme. Suggest reasons why baby seals are born with a pure white coat.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer and Explanation:

Even though Northern seals display a dark brown skin color, their pups are born with a fluffy white coat. This allows them to camouflage with the environment as they are unable to swim like the adults, keeping them away or hidden from predators.

Once they are around three weeks old, they start to lose this layer and begin to look like the "normal" seals.

Moreover, due the predominant climate in which they live, the color of the fur depends on genes and, therefore, enzymes. These enzymes are present during cold temperatures and, due to the warm conditions of the womb, these enzymes are denatured. After the seal pup is born, its cells produce a higher amount of enzymes to adjust to the temperature of their habitat and stays with the brown color to maintain homeostasis.

What is needed for translation to occur

Answers

mRNA, ribosome, tRNA and aminoacyl-tRNA syntheatases are needed for translation.  

Explanation:

In the translation process message is decoded into a polypeptide. Through interlinking of peptide bond amino acid covalently strung together. In this process each amino acid has a carboxyl and amino group.

Ribosome is catalysed for this reaction and generate the one water molecule. It is a complex macromolecule. It exists in the prokaryotes. Gene make the protein through the process of translation. In translation process mRNA is decoded and resultant protein is built.

Answer:

mRNA

Ribosome

tRNA

codons

What is the base in DNA pairs with adenine

Answers

Purines bases are ADENINE(A) and GUANINE(G), and pirimidines bases are CITOSINE(C) and TIMINE(T).

In DNA, with ADENINE complementary base is TIMINE, and with GUANINE complementary base is CITOSINE.


The pair of nitrogenous bases that connects the complementary strands of DNA or of double-stranded RNA and consists of a purine linked by hydrogen bonds to a pyrimidine: adenine-thymine and guanine-cytosine in DNA, and adenine-uracil and guanine-cytosine in RNA.
