Talja [164]3 years ago

The process of RNA editing is the alteration of the sequence of nucleotides in the RNA after it has been transcribed from DNA, but before it is translated into a protein. RNA editing occurs by two distinct mechanisms:<em><u /><u>Substitution</u> <u>editing </u></em>and <u><em>Insertion/</em></u><em></em><u><em>deletion</em></u><em> <u>editing</u></em>.

<u><em>Substitution editing</em></u> is the chemical alteration of individual nucleotides. These alterations are catalyzed by enzymes that recognize a specific target sequence of nucleotides:

*Cytidine Deaminases that convert a C in the RNA to uracil.

*<em />adenosine deaminases that convert an A to inosine,which the ribosome translates as a G.<span>Thus a CAG codon</span><span> (for Gln) can be converted to a CGG codon (for Arg).

<em><u>*Insertion/deletion editing</u></em><em><u /></em><u /> is the insertion or deletion of nucleotides in an RNA.

These alterations are mediated by guide RNA molecules that base-pair as best they can with the RNA to be edited and serve as a template for the addition( or removal) in the target.</span>

miv72 [106K]

The mitotic division of microspores belongs to the gametophyte stage of the life cycle of the pollen.

<h3>What are pollen grains?</h3>

Pollen are very important in the propagation of a flower. They need to be involved in the process of fertilization. As a matter of fact pollination is the transfer of pollen grains from the anther to the stigma of a flower.

Now we can see that there are various stages in the development of pollen. The mitotic division of microspores belongs to the gametophyte stage of the life cycle of the pollen.

When North america started to separate from Africa, volcanic activity increased. Lava and a large amount of gas was released into the atmosphere specially carbon dioxide. This led to global warming like condition which ultimately caused extinction of a large number of species.
