Dioxin, produced as a by-product of various industrial chemical processes, is suspected of contributing to the development of ca

ncer and birth defects in animals and humans. It apparently acts by entering cells by simple diffusion and binding to proteins in the cytoplasm, then altering the pattern of gene expression. Which of the following are likely to be the cytoplasmic proteins to which dioxin binds? View Available Hint(s)
A. nucleosomes enhancers
B. DNA polymerases
C. transcription factors
D. growth factor receptors

Answer:

Transcription factors.

Explanation:

Transcription and translation are the two important process involved in the gene expression of a particular protein. Transcription is the formation of RNA and translation is the formation of proteins.

Transcription requires different enzymes and transcription factors. Transcription factors are important factors that regulates the expression of transcription and may increase or decrease the process of transcription. Here, the protein that binds with dioxin acts as the transcription factors as it regulates the gene expression.

Thus, the correct answer is option (3).

<h3><u>Full Question:</u> </h3>

Trypsinogen is split by the enzyme enterokinase to form an activated molecule of the protease trypsin. Which of the following would confirm that the activation of trypsin is an example of how a positive feedback mechanism can amplify a biological process?

A. The activated trypsin enzyme can use enterokinase as a substrate

B. The trypsin produced by the reaction is capable of splitting and activating additional trypsinogen molecules

C. If levels of trypsin were to get too high, the trypsin molecules would inhibit the enzyme enterokinase

D. Each mRNA molecule that codes for trypsinogen can be translated repeatedly to form many peptide molecules

<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>

Trypsinogen molecules are first split into the active enzyme Trypsin by enterokinase. Then the Trypsin being a protease itself, works on Trypsinogens and converts them to Trypsin. Thus this is a positive feedback.

Option B

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Trypsinogen is a proenzyme which is secreted by pancreas into the duodenum. Enterokinase is a intestinal enzyme that is secreted from the small intestinal glands. Enterokinase works on the Trypsinogens to convert them into trypsin by splitting a peptide chain from the proenzyme. This trypsin then digests a variety of proteins and peptides from diet.

Trypsin is a protease and the proenzyme Trypsinogen is a protein. So trypsin works on the secreted trypsinogens too and amplify the production of trypsin from the trypsinogens to enhance the digestion process. Thus, a positive feedback chain is seen here.

How can natural processes cause rock on a mountain to become part of a beach far away.
lions [1.4K]

Weathering is a natural process by which the surface mineral of rocks is carried away by various agents .The agents can be water,wind,and ice. weathering means disintegration of rocks and the small parts are being carried away by these agents and are found on different places.Weathering of rocks depends on the many factors such as climatic conditions,type of rock,water availability and many more.The small rocks mix with soil and helps form sediment .This sedimentation helps to shape the earth's surface.This is an important part of rock cycle and is very important.
