Explanation:
Non-coding DNA sequences are components of an organism's DNA that do not encode protein sequences. Some non-coding DNA is transcribed into functional non-coding RNA molecules (e.g. transfer RNA, ribosomal RNA, and regulatory RNAs). Other functions of non-coding DNA include the transcriptional and translational regulation of protein-coding sequences, scaffold attachment regions, origins of DNA replication, centromeres and telomeres. Its RNA counterpart is non-coding RNA.
The amount of non-coding DNA varies greatly among species. Often, only a small percentage of the genome is responsible for coding proteins, but an increasing percentage is being shown to have regulatory functions. When there is much non-coding DNA, a large proportion appears to have no biological function, as predicted in the 1960s. Since that time, this non-functional portion has controversially been called "junk DNA".[1]
The international Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project uncovered, by direct biochemical approaches, that at least 80% of human genomic DNA has biochemical activity, which they defined as being transcribed, a definition not shared with most other biologists.[2] Though this was not necessarily unexpected due to previous decades of research discovering many functional non-coding regions,[3][4] some scientists criticized the conclusion for conflating biochemical activity with biological function.[5][6][7][8][9] Estimates for the biologically functional fraction of the human genome based on comparative genomics range between 8 and 15%.[10][11][12] However, others have argued against relying solely on estimates from comparative genomics due to its limited scope.[citation needed] Non-coding DNA has been found to be involved in epigenetic activity and complex networks of genetic interactions and is being explored in evolutionary developmental biology.[4][11][13][14]

Does natural selection affect humans? How and why
Answer:
Yes it does affect humans.
Explanation:
Natural selection acts on the phenotype, but evolution is a change in the frequency of alleles in a population over time, a change in genotype. So natural selection acts on phenotype, but it is the connection to genotype that makes it the mechanism of evolution. Many traits vary among different members of a population of humans and animals, from body size to hair color, and those differences are often linked to differences in genes. Natural selection occurs when some of those traits help some individuals survive and reproduce more than others. In scientific terms, these hazards are referred to as selection pressures. They put pressure on us to adapt in order to survive the environment we are in and reproduce. It is selection pressure that drives natural selection "survival of the fittest" and it is how we evolved into the species we are today.
A student proposes that the cell types shown here can be classified as to plant,animal,fungal,and bacterial. The student also proposes that an evolutionary relationship can be hypothesized based on the data. What evolutionary relationship and classification is best supported by the data
Answer:
Cell types I and III are animal and fungal cells, which are most closely related since they are eukaryotic cells that are heterotrophic.

Which product is the result of light reactions in photosynthesis? O A. Water B. Glucose O c. Carbon dioxide OD. Oxygen
Answer:
D. Oxygen
Explanation:
Plants absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) and release oxygen for humans and animals to breathe in. Afterward, they'll release CO2 for plants to absorb, which forms a cycle.
Answer:
Oxygen
Explanation:
Both light dependent and light independent reactions in photosynthesis create glucose. But, only light dependent reactions convert carbon dioxide to oxygen.
Light independent: Carbon dioxide + water --> ATP and NADP(Energy/Glucose) and water
Light dependent: Carbon dioxide + water + light --> Glucose(ATP and NADP), water, and oxygen

5. Macromolecules which are both hydrophobic and hydrophilic and are a major
component of cell membranes are -
Answer:
All phospholipids have hydrophobic tails, consisting of the two hydrocarbon chains, and hydrophilic head groups, consisting of the phosphate group and its polar attachments. Consequently, phospholipids are amphipathic molecules, part water-soluble and part water-insoluble.

Can someone please give me an explanation for Interphase and what happens in interphase?
I will mark brainliest
Please dont copy and paste
Answer:
In Interphase The cell grows in the (G1) phase, replicates DNA in the (S) phase
then prepares for mitosis in the (G2) phase. This all happens in Interphase. Hope this helps!
Explanation:
A certain species of trilobite is known to have lived 300 million years ago. If this index fossil was found in a rock layer containing other fossils, what could you infer about the other fossils
a The rock layer killed the trilobite and the other fossils
b The other fossils are about 300 million years old
c The organisms that formed the other fossils are still living.
d The rock layer formed before the trilobite and other organisms
Answer:
b The other fossils are about 300 million years old
Explanation:
From the description of the problem given, we can correctly conclude that the other fossils are about 300 million years old and even the rock layers formed around that period in time too.
Fossils are the preserved remains of organisms that has once lived. Through the principle of relative dating we can determine the age of fossils and those of other related ones. According to the principle of fossil and fauna succession, "fossils succeed one another in a predetermined form". So, the fossils occurring together within the rock layers are of the same age.Which two animals are able to generate internal heat to maintain their body temperature in a coid environment
Parrots and Dogs are able to generate internal heat to maintain their body temperature in a coid environment. Parrots and Dogs are Endotherms. They generate most of the heat they need internally, when it's cold outside.
1 Invasive plant species affect the interactions of living and nonliving components
of an ecosystem, so the removal of invasive plants is often necessary. The goal of
most plant-control methods is to disrupt or inhibit the function of different plant
systems. For example, insects can be used to chew through roots in order to
reduce a plant's ability to absorb water.
Which of these functions would be most immediately affected by a reduction in water
uptake by roots?
A Disease resistance
B Seed dispersal
C Sunlight absorption
D Photosynthesis
Answer: photosynthesis
Explanation:
Answer:
D. Photosynthesis
Explanation:
I got it "Correct"
When the Earth's continental crust and ocean crust formed, they were different densities. Why did they differ in density and how did this affect their formation?
A.) The continental crust was thicker and less dense. It rose above sea level, separating land from water.
B.) The continental crust was thicker and more dense. It sunk below sea level, separating land from water.
C.) The continental crust was thinner and less dense. It rose above sea level, separating land from water.
D.) The continental crust was thinner and more dense. It sunk below sea level, separating land from water.
I think it’s B, but I’m not completely sure. Help please!
Answer: A.) The continental crust was thicker and less dense. It rose above sea level, separating land from water.
Explanation:
The Ocean crust is made out of rocks like basalt with a thickness of about four miles. The Continental crust on the other hand is made out of granite and other similar minerals and is between six and 47 miles in thickness which makes it thicker than the Oceanic crust.
With basalt being more dense than granite, the Oceanic crust sank and the Continental crust rose thereby separating land from water.
Answer:
Answer: A.) The continental crust was thicker and less dense. It rose above sea level, separating land from water.
