Which of the following statements best summarizes the processes of transcription and translation resulting in the expression of a particular gene? The genetic information carried by DNA is transcribed into a code that is carried by RNA, which is translated into a specific protein that determines a phenotype. The genetic information carried by DNA is translated into a code that is copied by RNA and transcribed into a protein chain that results in a specific phenotype. The genetic information carried by RNA is transcribed into a code that is carried by DNA and translated into a protein chain that results in a specific phenotype. The genetic information carried by RNA is translated into a code that is copied by DNA and transcribed into a protein chain that results in a specific phenotype.

because they are eaten by the frog and the frog getseaten by the snake and the snake by the eagle

that is wrong, its not thymus.

cells use diffusion to get substances in and out of themselves. that diffusion will occur across the cell membrane or the outer covering of the cell. because we are talking about the surface of the cell, surface area and volume are  important factors here. as a cell increases in size, its surface area and volume increase as well.  we call that the surface area to volume ratio (sa: vol).  but the catch is that  volume increases at a greater rate than surface  area. in other words, as a cell gets bigger, the sa: vol gets smaller. so a really small cell like bacteria is mostly cell membrane (surface) with very little contents (volume). a really big cell like an egg, is mostly insides with a super thin membrane. so what ends up happening is that the cell cannot efficiently diffuse all of the stuff it needs in/out to survive. therefore cell size is limited to about 100mm. so how do we make organisms bigger than 100mm? cells divide! by dividing and becoming multicellular, organisms are able to grow!   check out the diagrams i attached to see the effect of sa: vol. i hope this ! good luck!
