Answer:

a. DNA polymerase proofreading: consequence of its absence is the DNA mutation

b. Mismatch repair enzymes : consequence of its absence impedes homologous recombination resulting in the final mutation

c. Nucleotide excision repair enzymes : the absence of nucleotide cleavage repair enzymes would impede the functioning of damaged DNA repair mechanisms

Explanation:

a. DNA polymerases are the enzymes that form the DNA in cells. During DNA replication (copying), most DNA polymerases can "check their work" with each base they add. This process is called review. If the polymerase detects that you have added a wrong nucleotide (incorrectly paired), remove it and replace it immediately, before continuing with DNA synthesis

b. In homologous recombination, the information from the homologous chromosome that matches that of the damaged one (or from a sister chromatid if the DNA has been copied) is used to repair the fragmentation. In this process the two homologous chromosomes are approached and the undamaged region of the homologue or the chromatide is used as a template to replace the damaged region of the broken chromosome. Homologous recombination is "cleaner" than the union of non-homologous ends and does not usually cause 11 mutations

c. Excision repair: damage to one or a few DNA bases is usually fixed by removing (excising) and replacing the damaged region. In repair by base cleavage, only the damaged base is removed. In nucleotide excision repair, as in the mating repair we saw earlier, a nucleotide section is removed

The tiles below depict translation events during roughly two cycles of elongation. each cycle adds a leucine (leu) amino acid to

sergij07 [2.7K]

I found the attached image on the internet and I believe it has the tiles referred to on the question.
As we can see on the image, the A-site, P-site, and E-site are represented. The A-site is occupied by the tRNA linked to the growing peptide chain. The P-site is the one occupied by the tRNA that works accepting the growing protein for peptide bond formation.
Firstly, the protein is formed, it is the first tile from the left.
Then, the first tile from the right is where the Leu is formed.
On the second tile from the right the Leu is then added to the protein.
The process is then repeated again as there are two cycles of elongation adding a Leu in each of them: third tile from the right, third tile from the left, second tile from the left.

Once a new finding is published in a scientific journal, it is still only preliminary and must undergo repeated testing to event

aalyn [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is - true.

Explanation:

The scientific journal is are the journals that publish the recent scientific findings or scientific experiments that produce new and appropriate results regarding particular experiment or research/

To confirm an experiment, published finding must be tested repeatedly by different scientists and researchers and see if the results are same in particular conditions.

Thus, the correct answer is - true.
