"Biological" redirects here. For other uses, see Biological (disambiguation).
Biology is the scientific study of life.[1][2][3] It is a natural science with a broad scope but has several unifying themes that tie it together as a single, coherent field.[1][2][3] For instance, all living organisms are made up of cells that process hereditary information encoded in genes, which can be transmitted to future generations. Another major theme is evolution, which explains the unity and diversity of life.[1][2][3] Finally, all living organisms require energy to move, grow, and reproduce, as well as to regulate their own internal environment.[1][2][3][4][5]
Biology deals with the study of life and organisms.

Biologists are able to study life at multiple levels of organization.[1] From the molecular biology of a cell to the anatomy and physiology of plants and animals, and to the evolution of populations.[1][6] Thus, there are multiple subdisciplines within biology, each defined by the nature of their research questions and the tools that they used.[7][8][9] Like other scientists, biologists use the scientific method to make observations, pose questions, generate hypotheses, and perform experiments to satisfy their curiosity about the world around them.[1]
Life on Earth, which emerged before 3.7 billion years ago,[10] is immensely diverse. Biologists have sought to study and classify the various forms of life, from prokaryotic organisms such as archaea and bacteria to eukaryotic organisms such as protists, fungi, plants, and animals. These various living organisms contribute to the biodiversity of an ecosystem, where they play specialized roles in the exchange of energy and nutrients.

What causes 37% of all pollution?
Answer:
There are a variety of examples that cause the problematic issue of pollution- Usually air pollution can be caused by the alteration of gases, solid and liquid particles suspended into the air. If we were to contemplate on how human causes lead to pollution, vehicles exhaust fumes are possibly one of the most affecting in air pollution, as well as the exhaust from industrial factories and plants. Human reasons have majorly led to pollution.

Put the following layers of the digestive tract wall in order from the lumen to the deepest layer: 1. lamina propria 4. digestive (mucous) epithelium 2. muscularis externa 5. serosa 3. submucosa 6. muscularis mucosae
Answer:
4. digestive (mucous) epithelium
1. lamina propria
6. muscularis mucosae
3. submucosa
2. muscularis externa
5. serosa
Explanation:
The first layer of the digestive tract, starting from the lumen, is the epithelium. This has different characteristics depending on the digestive tract section. Then there is a loose connective tissue called lamina propria. Next, there is a layer of muscle called muscularis mucosae. It is only present in the digestive mucosae. The next layer is the submucosa, which has dense connective tissue and the submucosal plexus. Then it follows the muscular externa, which has muscle, and it is in all the digestive tract except for the esophagus and stomach. Lastly, we have the serosa layer.

Answer:
Both earthquake and volcanoes are concentrated in specific regions.
Explanation:
The distribution of earthquake on earth is concentrated in specific zones where the plate tectonic meets or fuse with each other. Volcanoes are also concentrated in specific regions on the earth. Most volcanoes are concentrated on the edges of continents, on island chains, or long mountain ranges beneath the sea. There is a great relationship between earthquake and volcanoes because volcanic eruptions is the cause of earthquake in a region.

Explanation:
Hemophilia is a rare recessive genetic disorder in which the recessive version of the gene does not produce blood-clotting factors. A woman whose father had hemophilia marries a normal man. They have two children: a boy and a girl. What are the chances of the boy being a hemophiliac? _________ What are the chances of the girl being a hemophiliac? _________ Show your work with a Punnett Square.
Answer:25 , 0
Explanation:
XX©(mother being the carrier as her father was hemophilia- females can only be carrier of hemophilia ) when crossed with normal father produces offspring XX©, XY, XY©, XY. Therefore chances of boy being hemophilia=(1/4)*100=25.
Chances of girl being hemophilia= 0.
in VDJ recombination occurs in the Group of answer choices variable region of the heavy chain. constant region of the light chain. variable region of the light chain. Both the light and heavy chain.
Answer:
constant region of the light chain.
Explanation:
The VDJ recombination is defined as the process where the T cells as well as the B cells are randomly assembled from the different gene segments. These are mainly known as the variables (V), the diversity (D) and the gene (G). This is done in order to generate the unique receptors which is also called as the antigen receptors so that they can collectively recognize the different types of the molecules. It mainly occurs in the constant region of the light chain.

Explain why it is important to prevent the extinction of species?
Answer:
Animals and plants depend upon each other, so the loss of one species affects others within that complex web of relationships.
Explanation:
Healthy ecosystems depend on plant and animal species as their foundations. When a species becomes endangered, it is a sign that the ecosystem is slowly falling apart.
I hope this helps :3
Answer:
Why is it so critical that we protect species? 1. Its ecological significance. Plant and animal species are the cornerstones of healthy ecosystems. When a species becomes endangered, it indicates that the ecosystem is deteriorating.

What does every living thing have to have? *
Chloroplast
Nucleus
DNA
Answer:
DNA
Explanation:
Answer:
Explanation:
Los cloroplastos son los orgánulos celulares que en los organismos eucariotas fotosintetizadores se van ocupando de la fotosíntesis. Están limitados por una envoltura formada por las dos membranas concéntricas y contienen muchas vesículas, los tilacoides, donde se encuentran organizados los pigmentos y demás moléculas que convierten la energía lumínica en energía química, como la clorofila.
El término cloroplastos sirve alternativamente para designar a cualquier plasto dedicado a la fotosíntesis, o específicamente a los plastos verdes propios de las algas verdes y las plantas. Aunque el reciente descubrimiento adiciona a más individuos en la lista, como lo es en el caso de Elysia chlorotica, que al digerir al alga Vaucheria litorea, adquiere los cloroplastos a sus tejidos, y gracias a esto, puede realizar la fotosíntesis.
The principal enzyme involved in DNA replication is called _____________. The enzyme joins ________________ to synthesize a new _______________ strand of DNA. DNA replication is called ______________ because each new DNA molecule is made up of one original and one new strand.
complementary
DNA polymerase
nucleotides
semiconservative
Answer:
The principal enzyme involved in DNA replication is called _DNA polymerase_. The enzyme joins _nucleotides_ to synthesize a new __complementary_ strand of DNA. DNA replication is called __semiconservative__ because each new DNA molecule is made up of one original and one new strand.
Explanation:
DNA replication is the process through which DNI molecule duplicates. This event takes place during the S stage of the interphase. So when the cell divides during mitosis or meiosis, each cell will get a complete set of chromosomes.
DNI replication is semi-conservative because each new molecule carries an original DNI strand and a new one. The fact that the new molecule is composed of an original strand makes it semi-conservative. The old existing strands are used to synthesize the new complementary strand.
The origin of the replication requires helicase enzymes to break hydrogen bonds and separate the two original strands. The topoisomerase enzyme is necessary to release tension. Other proteins are also needed to join the strains and keep them separated. Once the molecule is opened, there is a region named replication forks. DNA polymerase makes the new nucleotides enter into the fork and pairs them with the corresponding nucleotide of the original strand. Adenine pairs timine, and cytosine pairs guanine.
DNA strands are antiparallel, and replication occurs only in 5´-3´direction. So one of the strands will replicate continuously, while the other strain will be formed by short fragments known as Okazaki fragments.
Primers are needed to make the DNA polymerase work. Primers are small units of RNA and are placed at the beginning of each new fragment.

Which of the following examples is NOT classified as composite volcano?
A. Mt. Fuji B. Mt. Rainier C. Mt. Mayon D. Mt. Paricutin
Answer:
C. Mt. Maton
Explanation:
not sure but hope it helps
Mt. Mayon examples is NOT classified as composite volcano.
What is Composite volcano?Cone-shaped composite volcanoes, also known as stratovolcanoes, are formed from numerous layers of lava, pumice, ash, and tephra. Composite volcanoes typically generate tall peaks rather than rounded cones because they are composed of layers of viscous material rather than fluid lava.
Calderas are occasionally created when the peak crater collapses. The most destructive volcanic eruptions in recorded history have been caused by composite volcanoes.
Apart from Earth, Mars is the only known location in the solar system with stratovolcanoes.
Therefore, Mt. Mayon examples is NOT classified as composite volcano.
