DNA is essentially a storage molecule. It contains all of the instructions a cell needs to sustain itself. These instructions are found within genes, which are sections of DNA made up of specific sequences of nucleotides. In order to be implemented, the instructions contained within genes must be expressed, or copied into a form that can be used by cells to produce the proteins needed to support life.
The instructions stored within DNA are read and processed by a cell in two steps: transcription and translation. Each of these steps is a separate biochemical process involving multiple molecules. During transcription, a portion of the cell's DNA serves as a template for creation of an RNA molecule. (RNA, or ribonucleic acid, is chemically similar to DNA, except for three main differences described later on in this concept page.) In some cases, the newly created RNA molecule is itself a finished product, and it serves an important function within the cell. In other cases, the RNA molecule carries messages from the DNA to other parts of the cell for processing. Most often, this information is used to manufacture proteins. The specific type of RNA that carries the information stored in DNA to other areas of the cell is called messenger RNA, or mRNA.
How does transcription proceed?
Transcription begins when an enzyme called RNA polymerase attaches to the DNA template strand and begins assembling a new chain of nucleotides to produce a complementary RNA strand. There are multiple types of types of RNA. In eukaryotes, there are multiple types of RNA polymerase which make the various types of RNA. In prokaryotes, a single RNA polymerase makes all types of RNA. Generally speaking, polymerases are large enzymes that work together with a number of other specialized cell proteins. These cell proteins, called transcription factors, help determine which DNA sequences should be transcribed and precisely when the transcription process should occur.
The Earth and Moon compare in terms of gravitational force as Earth's gravitational force is stronger than the Moon's.
Option A
<u>Explanation:</u>
According to universal law of gravity, the gravitational force is the attractive force between two objects separated by a distance. The magnitude of gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of masses of the objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distances between them.
In this case, the gravitational force acting on us due to Earth will be considered due to the mass of Earth as the mass of Earth is very large compared to our mass.
So as the mass of the Earth is greater than the mass of the moon, so the gravitational force of Earth will be stronger than that of Moon.
Dogs, cats, ferrets, seals, elephants, mustelids and bears own the "Zonary" placentae.
Answer:
hypha
mycelium
fruiting body
spores
Explanation:
<em>A typical fungi thallus includes many filamentous hypha that combine to form mycelium that grows underground, and produce a fruiting body reproductive structure that produce spores that disperse on the wind to new habitat.</em>
Fungi body are generally made up of hypha, a network of which forms the mycelium. The mycelium grows underground within the substrate and occasionally bring out fruiting bodies which bear the sporangium containing the spores. The spores act as agent of dispersal and are used to form new organisms when the conditions are right.
