Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

This question is asking to do the following:

Replicate the DNA sequence

Transcribe the complementary DNA into mRNA

Translate the mRNA codons into amino acid sequence

Give the function of mRNA

Please find the detailed answer to this question below

Explanation:

- DNA replication is a process whereby the content of DNA (genetic material) is doubled i.e. duplicated. In other words, another copy of DNA is made from one a DNA template. The principle of DNA replication follows the complementary base pairing rule i.e. A-T, G-C

Original DNA template- A T G G G T C T A G C G A A A G A T

After DNA replication-

Complementary DNA strand- T A C C C A G A T C G C T T T C T A

- Transcription is the process whereby a DNA template used to synthesize a mRNA strand. In this case, the complementary DNA sequence above will be transcribed into a complementary mRNA sequence. Note that Uracil replaces Thymine in RNA.

Complementary DNA strand- T A C C C A G A T C G C T T T C T A

After transcription

mRNA strand- A U G G G U C U A G C G A A A G A U

- Translation is the process by which a amino acid sequence is synthesized from a mRNA sequence. The sequence of the mRNA is read in a group of three bases called CODON. Each codon specifies an amino acid. In this case; the mRNA sequence is A U G G G U C U A G C G A A A G A U

After translation using the genetic code, the amino acid sequence is:

Methionine- Glycine- Leucine- Alanine- Lysine- Aspartic acid

Note:

AUG codes for Methionine (Met)

GGU codes for Glycine (Gly)

CUA codes for Leucine (Leu)

GCG codes for Alanine (Ala)

AAA codes for Lysine (Lys)

GAU codes for Aspartic acid (Asp)

- mRNA, which means messenger RNA, is a type of RNA molecule whose major function is to transport genetic information out of the nucleus into the cytosol in order for translation to take place. In contrast to DNA, which is a storage molecule, mRNA is a transporting/carrier molecule that encodes genetic information.

If plant gene alterations cause the plants to be deficient in photorespiration, what would most probably occur

Answers

Answer:

This question lacks options, options are:A) Photosynthetic efficiency would be reduced at low light intensities.

B) Cells would carry on the Calvin cycle at a much slower rate.

C) There would be more light-induced damage to the cells.

D) Less oxygen would be produced.The correct answer is  C

Explanation:

Photorespiration is a complex process that takes place in the mesophyll of plant leaves, when there is light and a high concentration of O2. In this process, the chloroplast, peroxisome, mitochondrion and cytosol interfere, which is responsible for this process is an enzyme called rubisco (ribulose-1-5-bisphosphate carboxylase / oxygenase). This enzyme fixes carbon during the photosynthesis phase, but when the temperature increases, its behavior changes, becoming an oxygenase, that is, it stops absorbing carbon and begins to capture oxygen.To protect themselves from photooxidation, the photorespiration process occurs in plants, preventing light from damaging the molecules involved in photosynthesis, that is, by means of photorespiration, plants prevent the over-reduction of the photosynthetic electron transport chain and photoinhibition, especially under stress conditions, then acts as an alternative sink for energy or reducing power.

How does photosynthesis start?

Answers

Photosynthesis starts when a photon- a tiny packet of light is absorbing a molecule of chlorophyll.

Index fossils are fossils that only occurred during a specific time frame. Typically commonly occurring fossils that had a widespread geographic distribution such as brachiopods , trilobites, and ammonites make the best index fossils.

Most likely would be a beetle making the best index fossil.

What determines a fossil to be an index fossil ?

Index fossil, any animal or plant preserved in the rock record of the Earth that is characteristic of a particular span of geologic time or environment. A useful index fossil must be distinctive or easily recognizable, abundant, and have a wide geographic distribution and a short range through time.

Describe how the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis/ respiration work. Describe what happens in the light-dependent part of the cycle compared to the light-independent part of the cycle (light reaction/dark reaction)

Answers

Answer:Photosynthesis in desert plants has evolved adaptations that conserve water. In harsh, dry heat, every drop of water must be used to survive. Because stomata must open to allow for the uptake of CO2, water escapes from the leaf during active photosynthesis. Desert plants have evolved processes to conserve water and deal with harsh conditions. A more efficient use of CO2 allows plants to adapt to living with less water.

Some plants such as cacti can prepare materials for photosynthesis during the night by a temporary carbon fixation and storage process, because opening the stomata at this time conserves water due to cooler temperatures. In addition, cacti have evolved the ability to carry out low levels of photosynthesis without opening stomata at all, a mechanism for surviving extremely dry periods.

image

Cactus: The harsh conditions of the desert have led plants like these cacti to evolve variations of the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis. These variations increase the efficiency of water usage, helping to conserve water and energy.

CAM Photosynthesis

Xerophytes, such as cacti and most succulents, also use

phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) carboxylase to capture carbon dioxide in a process called crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM). In contrast to C4 metabolism, which physically separates the CO2 fixation to PEP from the Calvin cycle, CAM temporally separates these two processes.

CAM plants have a different leaf anatomy from C3 plants, and fix the CO2 at night, when their stomata are open. CAM plants store the CO2 mostly in the form of malic acid via carboxylation of phosphoenolpyruvate to oxaloacetate, which is then reduced to malate. Decarboxylation of malate during the day releases CO2 inside the leaves, thus allowing carbon fixation to 3-phosphoglycerate by RuBisCO. Sixteen thousand species of plants use CAM.

Answers

Answer:

The smell is one of the senses that is created by the small molecules that are released by the food, aromatic substance, or any substance into the air. When we inhale during the breathing process these small molecules enter our nose and trap in tiny hair of the nose.

These molecules dissolves in mucus present in the nose to reach the specialized receptor cells known as olfactory receptor neurons. These neurons detect the smells and send the information directly to the brain to the olfactory bulbs that work to detect the smell.

Answers

Answer:

O founder's effect

Explanation:

A founder effect can be defined as the loss of genetic variation when a new population is established from a few individuals. This process is known to increase the frequency of particular gene variants (alleles) at different loci when they are selectively neutral (or nearly neutral), and thereby such genes are fixed by genetic drift (i.e., through the random sampling of founder individuals). Interestingly, it has been discovered that the majority of South American and Central American Indians are nearly exclusively in the O blood group, which has been further associated with random genetic drift and a founder effect.
