<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The biological macro molecule protein can serve as a precursor to the production of cyanide. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

<em>Cyanides are chemical compounds that contain the cyanide group(C≡N). </em>Based on the elements attached to the cyanide group cyanides can be classified into organic and inorganic cyanides.

<em>In inorganic cyanides the cyanide group is present as CN^- ion which makes them toxic.  In organic cyanides  CN^- group is not present and thus they are less toxic. </em>

Since nitrogen is the essential component in a cyanide, a biomolecule containing nitrogen will best act as the precursor to cyanide formation.

<em>The biomolecule protein is a long chain polymer of amino acids that contain nitrogen group.  Thus proteins can act as precursor to cyanide formation. </em>

In his study of pea plants, Gregor Mendel used which method to produce offspring?
dalvyx [7]
The answer is cross-pollination, by using parents that had different traits.

Gregor Mendel researched pea plants and he <span>established the principles of heredity. To explain his experiments and discoveries, he invented terms dominant and recessive in reference to traits. In his experiments, he used cross pollination which includes the crossing of parents with different traits. For example, he crossed a plant with green peas and a plant with yellow peas (two different traits) and studied how  these traits are inherited to the next generation.</span>

Anni [7]

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.
