Options for the question have not been give. They are as follows:

A. P site

B. A site

C. E site

D. directly to the cytosol

E. exit tunnel

Answer:

C. E site

Explanation:

Translation is the process by which mRNA is converted into polypeptide chain. Translation machinery has three binding slots for tRNA : A, P and E. Any incoming tRNA encounters A, P and E site in that order.

When a new tRNA (#1) carrying the next amino acid (here, lysine) comes, it enters the A site. Peptide bond is formed between lysine and the already existing amino acid on the growing polypeptide chain on the preceding tRNA (#2). Once lysine is added to the polypeptide chain, the entire chain moves to tRNA #1 which makes tRNA #2 empty. Meanwhile, the machinery moves forward. As a result, tRNA #1 slides to P site and tRNA #2 slides to E site. The A site is empty now and can receive another tRNA.

A trait has two alleles, which are represented by p and q. If p = 0.44, what is q?
mario62 [17]
Alleles are also like genes which contain a trait from the parent cells that could be likely passed on to the offspring cells. For example, the trait of having blue eyes of the father and brown eyes of the mother are two alleles. There are probability for these alleles to pass on. 'p' designated the success of one allele to pass on, while 'q' designates a failure. When these two are added up, the sum would be 1. Therefore:

q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.44
q = 0.56

Which of the following pairs of base sequences could form a short stretch of a normal double helix of DNA?
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

D) 5'-ATGC-3' with 5'-GCAT-3'

Explanation:

In a double helix DNA, adenine always pairs with thymine and cytosine pairs with guanine. Also, the two strands of a double helix DNA are antiparallel, that is, the 5' end of one strand lies opposite to the 3' end of another strand.

Therefore, a DNA strand with base sequence 5'-ATGC-3' would have a complementary strand 5'-GCAT-3'.

Double stranded DNA: 5'-ATGC-3'                                          

                                      3' TACG 5'

What is the main difference between oogenesis and spermatogenesis in terms of meiosis?
galben [10]
During meiosis in cell division, oogenesis refers to the production of female reproductive cells, while spermatogenesis refers to the production of male reproductive cells. This determines the reproductive capacity of an organism during and after cell division.
