The Beginning of mRNA Is Not Translated
Interestingly, not all regions of an mRNA molecule correspond to particular amino acids. In particular, there is an area near the 5' end of the molecule that is known as the untranslated region (UTR) or leader sequence. This portion of mRNA is located between the first nucleotide that is transcribed and the start codon (AUG) of the coding region, and it does not affect the sequence of amino acids in a protein (Figure 3).
So, what is the purpose of the UTR? It turns out that the leader sequence is important because it contains a ribosome-binding site. In bacteria, this site is known as the Shine-Dalgarno box (AGGAGG), after scientists John Shine and Lynn Dalgarno, who first characterized it. A similar site in vertebrates was characterized by Marilyn Kozak and is thus known as the Kozak box. In bacterial mRNA, the 5' UTR is normally short; in human mRNA, the median length of the 5' UTR is about 170 nucleotides. If the leader is long, it may contain regulatory sequences, including binding sites for proteins, that can affect the stability of the mRNA or the efficiency of its translation.
“The nth term of the following types of sequences can be found out using the following Formulas:
1.Arithmetic Progression(AP) : here, the consecutive terms differ by a common difference (d).
tn= a+(n-1)d
Where,
a= is the first term of the sequence,
n= nth term
d= common difference
2. Geometric Progression(GP):
Here, the consequtive terms differ by a common ratio (r).
Tn= ar^(n-1)
where,
a = first term
r = common ratio
tn= nth term
3.Harmonic Progression (H.P):
It is the reciprocal of AP.
To find nth term of a HP, first convert it into AP and then apply the tn formula for the sequence and take the reciprocal of the obtained tn again.
Hope the answer helps you!!”
Answer:
takes in carbon dioxide, puts out oxygen
Explanation:
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Plant cells have chloroplasts to turn light energy into glucose through photosynthesis, but animals do not, since animals do not make their own food.
Lack of water would have an impact on the level of glucose produced hence decreasing the energy level that will finally be produced.
