How did geological gradualism and uniformitarianism influence Darwin?
Darwin stated that evolution through natural selection through gradual change from the environment. This is like uniformitarianism where things, that change, change at a constant rate.
Answer: RNAs are not processed before translation in prokaryotes, this process only takes place in eukaryotes.
Explanation:
Messenger RNA or mRNA is a single-straded ribonucleic acid that transfers the genetic information from the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) molecule of the cell nucleus to a ribosome (which are the machinery responsible for protein synthesis) in the cytoplasm. mRNA determines the order in which the amino acids of a protein will be joined and acts as a template or pattern for the synthesis of that protein. To accomplish this, the DNA molecule must be transcribed into an RNA molecule, which is used for protein synthesis.
The messenger RNA obtained after transcription is known as primary transcribed RNA or precursor RNA or pre-mRNA, which in most cases is not released from the transcription complex in a fully active form, but in eukaryotes it must undergo modifications before it can perform its function (RNA processing or maturation). These modifications include:
- Elimination of fragments (splicing): In most cases, the <u>mRNA undergoes the removal of internal, non-coding sequences called introns, and the connection of exons. This does not occur in prokaryotic cells</u>, as they do not have introns in their DNA.
- Protection by CAP: <u>Addition to the 5' end of the structure called "cap" or "capping"</u>, which is a modified guanine nucleotide, 7-methylguanosine triphosphate, via a 5'-5' triphosphate linkage, instead of the usual 3',5'-phosphodiester linkage. This cap is necessary for the normal RNA translation process and to maintain its stability.
- Polyadenylation signal: <u>Addition to the 3' end of a poly-A tail, a long polyadenylate sequence, whose bases are all adenine</u>. Its addition is mediated by a sequence or polyadenylation signal (AAAAAA), located 11-30 nucleotides upstream of the original 3' end. This tail protects the mRNA from degradation, and increases its half-life in the cytosol, so that more protein can be synthesized.
The mature mRNA (in eukaryotes) is transferred to the cytosol of the cell through pores in the nuclear envelope. Once in the cytoplasm, ribosomes are coupled to the mRNA. However, in prokaryotes, ribosome binding occurs while the mRNA strand is being synthesized. After a certain amount of time, the mRNA is degraded into its component nucleotides by ribonucleases. So, the transcription and translation processes are carried out in a similar way as in eukaryotic cells but they occur simultaneously. But, the fundamental difference is that, in prokaryotes, the messenger RNA does not undergo a maturation process and, therefore, no cap or tail is added and no introns are removed. Moreover, it does not have to leave the nucleus as in eukaryotes, because in prokaryotic cells there is no defined nucleus.
So, RNAs are not processed before translation in prokaryotes, this process only takes place in eukaryotes.
Options are not provided in the question. The complete question is as following:
The reabsorption of glucose occurs primarily through the walls of the
A. glomerular capsule.
B. nephron loop.
C. proximal convoluted tubule.
D. distal convoluted tubule.
E. renal duct.
Answer:
C. proximal convoluted tubule.
Explanation:
Reabposrtion of glucose is supported by the nephron present in the kidney which mainatain body fluid homeostasis. It maintains extracellular body fluid volume stable and also maintains the minerals and salts which are essential for body functioning. So, glucose reabsorption is a part of homeostasis.
The process of glucose reabsorption primarily starts through the walls of the proximal convoluted tubule. proximal convoluted tubule are covered in microvillii and are extensive in length which increases the surface area for absorption. it also contain densly packed mitochndria which provide energy for efficient reabsorption. and then they are tranposrted to proximal straight tuble fo rfurther filteration.
Hence, the correct otpion is C.
Answer:
Vainas sinoviales tendinosas
Explanation:
Las vaina tendinosas o vainas sinoviales son mangas de tejido de protección que se encuentran alrededor de las articulaciones o rodean a los tendones. Estas vainas permiten que los tendones se deslicen suavemente, produciendo un líquido (líquido sinovial) que mantiene al tendón lubricado. De este modo, las vainas tienen como función evitar el roce entre el tendón y el hueso. Las vaina tendinosas conforman un revestimiento de dos capas: una interna unida al tendón y una externa de tejido conectivo.
