What is the type of virus that codes backwards from RNA to DNA?

Biology
1 answer:
Lunna [17]3 years ago
3 0


The answer is D.

 A retrovirus is any of a group of viruses that  characteristically carry their genetic information in form of RNA.  These viruses have an enzyme called reverse transcriptase from which they derive their name because they follow the first step  of the central dogma backward  thus "retro" which means backward.

Reverse transcriptase makes DNA from RNA template  thus reversing the usual pattern of transcribing RNA using DNA as the template.

The central dogma of  molecular genetics  summarizes steps of protein synthesis as DNA → RNA → protein.  But retroviruses have modified the process to be  RNA → DNA → RNA  → protein.

kherson [118]

Answer:

Vesicles  

Explanation:

Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that transports signals or messages between neurons.

Most neuronal cells have vesicles in their interior, which are organelles that store neurotransmitters for exportation -by exocytosis- or from recycling -by endocytosis-. These vesicles also protect the neurotransmitter from the enzymatic action.

Vesicles form in the cellular soma, from where they are transported to nervous terminals. Once the vesicle releases the neurotransmitter to the intercellular space, their membrane remains available in the plasmatic membrane to be reused.

The neurotransmitter concentration in the vesicle interior is related to the storage system and the <u>transport system</u>. There are <u>specialized transporter proteins in the vesicle membrane</u> that are involved with the introduction of the molecule to the organelle.

In the exposed example, transporter Trans B might be located in the vesicle membranes, and hence could be found in the cytosol of the cells.

How does a glacier move?
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

gravity

Explanation:

Gravity is the cause of glacier motion; the ice slowly flows and changes in response to gravity. A glacier molds itself to the land and also molds the land as it creeps down the valley. Many glaciers slide on their beds, which enables them to move faster.
