g The Drosophila melanogaster genome contains approximately 24 million bases of exon sequence, 20 million bases of intron sequence, and 76 million bases of intergenic sequence. Calculate and compare the percentages of exon and intron sequences in Drosophila melanogaster genome to that of the human genome.

When it is compared to the human genome, the Drosophila melanogaster genome contains a higher proportion of exons (20%) and a minor proportion of introns (16.6%).

Explanation:

The Drosophila melanogaster genome contains 24 million bases (Mb) encoded by exons + 20 Mb introns + 76 Mb intergenic sequences = 120 Mb >>

- Exon sequences= (24 x 100)/120: 20 %

- Intron sequences= (20 x 100)/120: 16.6 %

- Intergenic sequences= (76 x 100)/120: 63.3 %

On the other hand, the completion of the human genome sequencing showed that only 1.1% encodes proteins (i.e., they are exons), 24% are introns, and 75% are intergenic sequences. Moreover, it is also important to highlight that the D. melanogaster genome contains about 13,000 protein-coding genes, while the human genome contains nearly 22,000-30,000 protein-coding genes.

as the gila monster consumes the eggs or young of the desert cottontail and gambel's quail, thus its main food supply is only accessible for a restricted time duration every year. however, for this, the gila monsters exhibit three adaptations, which elevate their survival rate in the desert condition.  

first, is that they possess huge bodies, and can consume greater concentrations of food during a small period. secondly, they require to feed infrequently as they can accumulate fat in their tails. ultimately, their rate of metabolism is very low, so that they can burn their reservoirs of fat gradually.  

the answer is c on e2020, bud.
