Answer:
RNA interference
Explanation:
Interference RNA is a mechanism of post-transcriptional silencing of specific genes, so that small RNA molecules complementary to an mRNA lead to its degradation, thus preventing its translation into proteins.
Gene silencing by interfering RNA is induced by small double stranded RNA molecules of 21 to 27 nucleotides called siRNA. These siRNAs undergo a series of processes in the cell as a result of which their double stranded RNA unfolds in a sense strand and an antisense strand. The antisense strand binds to the mRNA chain specifically for base complementarity, causing the resulting complex to be recognized by cellular and degraded mechanisms. Each siRNA is highly specific for the target nucleotide sequence to which it degrades. This phenomenon of gene interference occurs naturally in the body, being involved in the development and defense against viruses.
Answer:
Continental drift
Explanation:
Alfred Wagener told about continental drift. He said that continents were a single land mass called Pangaea. They were separated and relocated in the form of different continents. The drifting happens due to the movement of tectonic plates above the magma. As a result, the land mass was broken down into different landforms. These broken parts were carried slowly and form the continents. The continents are now also moving slowly
Cellular respiration is the process in which water and carbon dioxide are waste products.
Answer:
B. F1
Explanation:
Plants used in first-generation crosses were called P, or parental generation, plants (Figure 8.3). Mendel collected the seeds produced by the P plants that resulted from each cross and grew them the following season. These offspring were called the F1, or the first filial (filial = daughter or son), generation.
