What is the product of the psbc gene? what is its function?

1 answer:

6 0

The structure of the rye chloroplast DNA, which contains psbC gene coding for 43-kDa chlorophyll(a)-binding subunit of photosystem II, is determined. The sequence of trnS (UGA) gene encoding tRNA Ser is located at a distance of 140 bp downstream from the stop codon of psbC gene on the opposite DNA strand. The 5'-terminal part of psbC gene, like in other plants, overlaps by 50 bp the 3'-terminal region of psbD gene coding for D2 protein of photosystem II. The amino acid sequence of the psbC gene product reveals common features with the structure of the psbB gene product (CPa-1 protein). The structural similarity of these two proteins seems to reflect their similar functions.

What variables could influence the width of marine magnetic anomalies on the floor of the ocean?

raketka [301]

Answer:

Duration of the magnetic polarity event

Rate at which the plates are moving away from the mid-ocean ridge

Explanation:

The marine magnetic anomaly usually refers to the variation that occurs in terms of the magnetic field strength of the earth. This takes place because of the presence of minerals within the rocks of seafloor that contains high magnetic property.

These magnetic anomalies occurring in the marine rocks cover only about 1% of the total strength of the geomagnetic field. It shows either positive or negative anomaly.

Some of the factors that influence the width of this marine magnetic anomalies on the rocks of ocean-floor includes:
