rjkz [21]
<span><span>Hi,

The two major components of the tobacco mosaic virus were:
 
1. Protein Coat/Capsid: Each rod consists of about 2130 elliptical protein subunits (capsomers). They are closely packed together and arranged in a helical fashion

</span><span>2. Nucleic Acid: It is a single-stranded RNA helix having a diameter of 80 Å.

the eyeless gene is required for eye formation in drosophila. it encodes a homeodomain. a. what would you predict about the bioc
Arte-miy333 [17]
<h3>Briefing:</h3>

In Drosophila, the eyeless gene is necessary for the development of eyes. Given that it encodes for a homeodomain, its protein may have a role as a transcription factor that binds DNA in a specific sequence. In situ hybridization can be used to study the gene's mRNA expression pattern, and immunological methods can be used to study the protein.

A. Since the eyeless gene in Drosophila encodes for a homeodomain, one potential use for its protein is as a DNA-binding transcription factor that binds to specific DNA sequences.

B. As implied by its function, the eyeless gene should be expressed in the Drosophila cells in charge of eye formation. In situ hybridization of the gene's mRNA expression is one potential test to find the gene. The protein can also be seen via a variety of immunological and staining methods. It is possible to do gene deletion experiments to see if Drosophila will retain its eyes or go blind. Additionally, genetic engineering can determine whether the eyeless gene expressed in other organs can result in the creation of eyes.

C. Transgenic tests can be used to determine whether the Small eye and Aniridia genes function similarly to the fly eyeless gene. Since both of these function as master switches for the genes that create eyes, it is possible to transfer the mouse Small eye gene into Drosophila to observe whether it is expressed. These, however, are simply Drosophila eyes and not comparable to mouse eyes.

<h3>Describe DNA:</h3>

All known organisms, including many viruses, require deoxyribonucleic acid, a polymer comprised of two polynucleotide chains that coil around one another to create a double helix, to develop, function, grow, and reproduce. DNA and ribonucleic acid are examples of nucleic acids.

postnew [5]

Answer:

osmosis

Explanation:

The process that was going is <u>osmosis</u>.

<em>Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from regions of high water potential to regions of low water potentials through a selectively permeable membrane.</em>

In this case, the membrane is only permeable to water movement and not ions and water molecules move from the side with pure water (which happens to have higher water potential) to the side with 4% sodium chloride until equilibrium in water potential is established between the two sides.

B - Antibiotics
Antivirals treat viruses, antifungals treat fungi, and OTC treatments are merely symptomatic treatment. Antibiotics typically dissolve the cell wall of bacteria meaning they explode, so they actually kill the bacteria.
