Why can the same trna and rrna molecules be used to synthesize a wide variety of polypeptides

1 answer:

8 0

Answer: The transcription and translation process allows trna and rrna molecules to be used to synthesize wide variety of polypeptides.

Explanation:

DNA molecule is made up of information for coding proteins. This information is passed on the mRNA during a process known as transcription. Transcription is the first of many steps of DNA based gene expression in which a part of the segment of DNA is copied into RNA (especially mRNA) by the enzyme RNA polymerase.

Both DNA and RNA are nucleic acids, which use base pairs of nucleotides as a complementary language. During the process of transcription, a DNA sequence is read by an RNA polymerase, which gives a complementary, antiparallel RNA strand referred to as a primary transcript.

A large diversity among genes is followed by a large amount of various mRNA molecules. However, the ribosomes consist of rRNA, which is included in the process of translation. Translation is the process whereby ribosomes in the cytoplasm or ER synthesize proteins after the process of transcription of DNA to RNA in the cell's nucleus. The overall process is called gene expression.

The smallest of the three types of RNA is tRNA, which has only 75 to 95 nucleotides and has a role in bringing particular amino acids to the growing polypeptide. It can be concluded that mRNA contribute to the diversity of polypeptide molecules due to the fact that it carries an information about their synthesis.

Answer:

The correct option is D. 18 year old male

Explanation:

The epiphyseal plate can be described as a disc of cartilage that is required for the growth of bones. The epiphyseal plates get fused in females at a very early age, most probably between the ages of 13 to 15. In males, the epiphyseal plates fuse a litter later at about 15 to 18 years.

Hence, the presence of epiphyseal plates in the femur would prove that it was present in an 18-year-old male.

All the other options would be false because they won't contain an epiphyseal plate.

Alika [10]

Answer:

Becky’s doctor provided only supportive care because the toxin that poisoned her, the demoic acid, has no known antidotes; which happen to be the only cure for toxins.

Antimicrobial were not part of Becky's treatment because Becky was infected by a toxin and not a microbial infection.

Diatoms are not different from eukaryotic cells or eukaryotes. they are Eukaryotes, which are different from prokaryotes. However both the eukaryotes (diatoms) and the prokaryotes possess cytoplasm, plasma membrane and ribosomes.

Explanation:

Demoic acid is a marine bio-toxin that results in Amnesic Shellfish poisoning (ASP). This biotoxin is produced by diatoms of the species Nitzschia navis-varingica of the genus Pseudo-Nitzschia. This intoxication can result in symptoms ranging from gastrointestinal upset (vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, abdominal cramps, hemorrhagic gastritis) to neurological disturbances (including headaches, diziness, disorientation, vision disturbances, loss of short term memory, motor weakness, abnormal heart rhythm, unstable blood pressure, etc.). In more severe cases, it could lead to permanent short term memory loss, brain damage, coma, and death. Due to the lack of antidotes for this toxin, it is advised that medical attention be sought as soon as possible, where the patient can be closely monitored and cared for.

There's a difference between toxins and microbial infections. while Microbial infections are caused by harmful microorganisms infecting the body tissue and cells, toxins are harmful substances produced by microorganisms. Hence, the approach for treatment for both cases are different.

Diatoms are eukaryotic cells or eukaryotes, which are organisms that have a membrane enclosing in their nucleus, hence they have a true nucleus and organelles bound by a membrane, supporting functions in compartments. Prokayotic cells or prokayotes, on the other hand, which are typically smaller, do not possess a protective membrane around their nucleus or any organelles enclosed by the membrane. Regardless of their differences, they still both share similarities. After all, they both are cells. So they have the basic features of cells. These similarities include the possession of a cytoplasm, ribosomes, plasma membrane.
