1) Wax belong to lipids.

2) Animals: Water and cold isolation and protection from pathogenic microorganisms.

Plants: It controls evaporation and maintains hydration.

Explanation:

1) Wax belong to the biomolecules of lipids.

2) In animals, such as birds, the uropygial gland secrets sebum or wax, spreading it throughout the animal's feathers to prevent water from penetrating as it serves as an isolating compound for animals that live in cold areas. It also provides protection from bacteria and fungi. In coloquial terms, it would be like a water-proof coat that protects them from water and extreme climate.

In plants, the secretion of wax through the cuticle has been developed as an adaptation to control evaporation and maintain hydration.

Answer from: Quest

"1. it should be, it has been for about 20 years, and it's really not much different in the end than breeding animals to have particular traits. there are always concerns about genetically engineered animals/plants affecting the environment in unexpected negative ways, but i can't think of an example where the fears didn't turn out to be baseless.

first, as you point out, it would be a great advance in pharmacology, to be able to tailor drugs and their doses to me. the pros involve better medical treatment. the cons involve privacy issues like insurance companies denying coverage to people with genetic risk factors. looking at dna markers wouldn't affect the frequency of genetic diseases, but it would allow detection of them earlier. and ok, actually i suppose that if people used this information to avoid having children with genetic diseases, some might decrease in frequency."

Q1.8. continuing your studies, you perform a transplant experiment. you chisel up multiple rocks from the upper intertidal zone, each holding 10 individuals of species a, and move them to the lower intertidal zone among individuals of species c. you count the number of individuals of all species on the rocks every day for 30 days. based on your findings, what can you conclude? (remember that all 3 species settle in this zone at equal rates.)

You are studying several alleles of an e. coli helicase gene. one allele, called rsr, confers resistance to rs2014, an antibiotic that works by inhibiting helicase activity. bacteria with the rss allele are sensitive to rs2014. another allele, called ts-, produces a temperature sensitive mutation of the helicase. in bacteria with the ts- allele, helicase is inactivated at 42 °c but functions normally at 37 °c. helicase functions normally at both temperatures in bacteria with the ts allele. you obtain the following data while testing four strains of e. coli at different temperatures and doses of rs2014. each number represents the percentage of maximal dna synthesis. based on this data, assign the appropriate genotype to strains a–d in the spaces provided
