In a biology class, your friend had to read jared diamond’s essay the worst mistake in the history of the human race, which details the drawbacks of sedentary life and agriculture. your friend wants to know why humans continued to farm in the face of disease and other issues. what would be a valid response?

Here are the options to complete the given question

1. agriculture led to an increase in peaceful relations between groups because there was less competition

for food.

2. having reliable access to food and being able to produce more calories per unit of land available led to population increase.

3. farming for food was better for the

environment than was hunting and gathering.

4. All of the above

The answer is going to be 2

2. having reliable access to food and being able to produce more calories per unit of land available led to population increase.

Explanation:

FEEDBACK: If It Is So Bad for You, Why Farm?

sedentary agriculture increases the likelihood of increase in interpersonal violence, environmental degradation and increase in disease,

As read in the essay,

agriculture helps groups to produce a lot of food with constant access to food resulting in population and smaller birth spacing

answer: c. two haploid cells

explanation:

transcription is a process in which information is rewritten. it is something our cells must do, in a more specialized and narrowly defined way. in biology, transcription is the process of copying out the dna sequence of a gene in the similar alphabet of rna. it needs to happen in the nucleus because that's where the dna is. dna is always inside the nucleus unless the cell is dividing.

transcription is the first step in gene expression, which involves copying a gene's dna sequence to make an rna molecule. transcription is performed by rna polymerases. it has three stages: initiation, elongation, and termination. rna molecules must be processed after transcription in eukaryotes.

explanation:

long version:

the protein synthesis consists two processes which are, transcription and translation. transcription takes place in the nucleus. it uses dna as a template to make an rna molecule. rna then leaves the nucleus and goes to a ribosome in the cytoplasm, where translation occurs. transcription is the first part of the central dogma of molecular biology: dna → rna. it is the transfer of genetic instructions in dna to messenger rna (mrna). during transcription, a strand of mrna is made that is complementary to a strand of dna.  

these three stages are:

  initiation: in which   is the beginning of transcription.occuring when the enzyme rna polymerase binds to a region of a gene called the promoter. this signals the dna to unwind so the enzyme can ‘‘read’’ the bases in one of the dna strands. the enzyme is now ready to make a strand of mrna with a complementary sequence of bases.

    elongation: in which is the addition of nucleotides to the mrna strand. rna polymerase reads the unwound dna strand and builds the mrna molecule, using complementary base pairs. there is a brief time during this process when the newly formed rna is bound to the unwound dna. during this process, an adenine (a) in the dna binds to an uracil (u) in the rna.

    termination: in which is the ending of transcription, and occurs when rna polymerase crosses a stop (termination) sequence in the gene. the mrna strand is complete, and it detaches from dna.
