Answer:

B) DNA → RNA → protein

Explanation:

  • Gene directs the synthesis of a cellular component through what is called gene expression.
  • During gene expression, information from the DNA is used to synthesis proteins, through the process of transcription followed by translation.
  • Transcription is the process that involves use of information carried by DNA to generate messenger RNA, in the nucleus of a cell. Then translation which uses the information carried by the mRNA to generate proteins in the organelles known as ribosomes.

A mutation in a gene in the fruit fly Drosophila was found to affect eye color. The protein affected was found to be completely
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

The correct option is D. A reasonable explanation for the change in levels of protein is that the mutation occurs in the promoter of the gene, within several hundred base pairs of the start of transcription.

Explanation:

In genetics, a promoter can be described as a region where the RNA polymerase binds initially and starts transcription. The promoter is usually present near to the gene that has to be transcribed. The rate of transcription is controlled by the promoter region too. Hence, the correct option is D. The promoter region for the eye colour was changed due to mutation.

Other options are false because a change in a codon or base pair would have changed proteins being formed and would not have slowed the process.

I think the most challenging part of human remains would be knowing that you're working with parts of a person who used to be alive. The most interesting part would be figuring out the person's past based on their remains like what they ate, their cultural background, etc.

The yellow ring inside the bacterial cell represents the bacterial DNA. Why does this structure disappear by step 3 of the lytic
adell [148]

Answer:

The bacterial DNA gets degraded at step 3 of the viral lytic cycle.

Explanation:

Viruses are organisms that are incapable of replicating on their own, hence, they require a living host which they infect and use its replicational ability to reproduce theirselves. The infection cycle of this virus is regarded as its replication cycle. Viruses employ either the LYTIC or LYSOGENIC cycle for infection.

The lytic cycle involves killing of their host cell at the end of the cycle. Generally, the cycle starts with the attachment of my the virus to the cell membrane of its host using specific receptor sites (step 1). It then penetrates the host cell as seen in step 2.

After penetration, the virus then secretes certain degrading enzymes called ENDONUCLEASES that degrades the bacterial DNA. After which the virus uses the replicational and gene expressing ability of the host to transcibe its genetic material and replicate itself. This process called SYNTHESIS occurs in step 3.

Hence, the yellow ring in the image that represents bacterial DNA disappears in step 3 (synthesis stage) because it gets degraded by viral digesting enzymes.

A grown tiger began its life as a single fertilized egg. Explain why a tiger looks so much different as an adult than it did as
blsea [12.9K]
<span>A tiger looks so much different as an adult than it did as a single fertilized egg because it developed through different stages from being a zygote (fertilized egg), to becoming an embryo (where it experiences intense cellular changes), to becoming a fetus (where it gains a great measure of cell specialization, and develops distinct tissues and organ systems). After birth, the tiger still undergoes further growth and development into adulthood. This is largely regulated by the expression of different genes at different times and also by environmental factors.</span>
