DNA polymerases are capable of editing and error correction, whereas the capacity for error correction in RNA polymerases appear

s to be quite limited. Approximately one error occurs in every 104 to 105 nucleotide incorporated in RNA. Given that a single base error in either replication or transcription can lead to an error in the protein coded by the gene or mRNA. Please suggest a possible explanation for this striking difference.

Explanation:

DNA polymerase replicates the DNA supplied to all new cells produced while RNA polymerase drives DNA copy RNA synthesis. Unless corrected, error in DNA replication could result in the transmission of the error DNA to all next-generation cells.

Protein synthesis error will cause faulty copies of RNA and degraded proteins. To order to ensure the transfer of key genetic information to future generations of cells, failure to DNA replication must be corrected.

Fed [463]

The correct answer is option C, that is, the presence of the nuclear membrane.  

Cyanobacteria is a phylum of bacteria that attain their energy via the process of photosynthesis, and are the only photosynthetic prokaryotes possessing the tendency to generate oxygen. As a prokaryote, they are devoid of the nuclear membrane.  

Euglena refers to a single cell flagellate eukaryote. It comes under the class Euglenoidea. The species of Euglena are witnessed in salt water and in freshwater. Being a eukaryote, they possess nuclear membrane.

Ingestion of foreign substances by macrophages and yeast cells by an amoeba is known as
Iteru [2.4K]

Ingestion of foreign substances by macrophages and yeast cells by an amoeba is known as <u>Phagocytosis</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Phagocytosis that is the name given to the process of ingestion of foreign particles by macrophages. In human body the white blood cells does this function. Macrophages is found in all the tissues. Any foreign particle entering the body is engulfed by this process hence protecting the organisms.

Once a bacteria enters the body it is at once detected and recognised as the foreign particle. Then it is attached to the phagocyte. Then it is engulfed into a vesicle called phagosome. Then this is killed by the process of phagocytosis.

Which of the following processes and organelles account for the replacement of lipids and proteins lost from the plasma membrane
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

Vesicles (Exocytosis),RER (Rough ER) and SER(Smooth ER)

Explanation:

Vesicles are a small structure consisting of a lipid bilayer. They are form naturally during the process of secretion (exocytosis) and up take of nutrients (phagocytosis) and transport materials within the cytoplasm. Vesicles binds with the plasma membrane to release its content outside of cell.

Endoplasmic reticulum

It’s a series of interlinked sacs and tubules modifies proteins and synthesizes lipids.However, the synthesis of proteins and lipids carried out in two different regions of endoplasmic reticulum that is rough ER and Smooth ER. Ribosomes transfer their synthesize proteins into the lumen of the RER where they modify proteins. It also makes phospholipids for cellular membranes

The SER is continuous with the RER and its role is to synthesize lipids, carbohydrates, and steroid hormones. Detoxifies poisons and store calcium ions...

xeze [42]
Energy coupling is the transfer of energy from the energy forming step to the biomolecule forming step. The energy forming step is called catabolism wherein the complex molecules are broken down and releasing energy. The energy produced is then used the process called anabolism which produces biomolecules such as proteins.
