All living things have certain characteristics. how many characteristics are used to describe living things?

Do the following statements describe actin, myosin, both of the proteins or neither of the proteins? (a) contains a binding site for calcium (b) found in the i band (c) exists in a globular (g) form and a filamentous (f) form (d) contains a binding site for atp (e) is a component of the thin filament (f) is a component of the thick filament

4. multiple crosses were made between true-breeding lines of black and yellow labrador retrievers. all the f1 progeny were black. when these progeny were intercrossed, they produced an f2 consisting of 91 black, 39 yellow and 30 chocolate. a. propose an explanation for the inheritance of coat color in labradors. b. propose a biochemical pathway for coat color determination and indicate how the relevant genes control coat coloration.

According to the rna world hypothesis, rna acted as the genetic material and catalyzed reactions in ancient cells. what conclusion can you draw from this?               a.  this implies that dna and proteins aren't essential in cells today.    b.  this implies that rna can catalyze any chemical reaction that enzymes catalyze.    c.  this implies that if a cell has a problem with its dna, its rna can compensate for the damaged dna.    d.  this implies that dna and proteins evolved after rna.
