Sergio [31]3 years ago

<span>Since a gene that acts as a pesticide is inserted into a corn, that corn is now safe from insects. This will happen because the corn will probably synthesise protein according to that inserted DNA sequence and that protein will serve as a repellent to the insects. However, the Red Queen's hypothesis in evolution explains that organisms must constantly adapt and evolve in order to survive. This refers to insects. If they could not eat genetically modified corn, they would extinct. So, they must adapt or evolve in order to survive. So, it is expected that insects that are resistant to this specific pesticide would develop through the time.</span>

Translation and protein synthesis is occurring at the ribosome. If the tRNA anticodon being matched at the ribosome is AUG, what
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

The correct answer would be - option D) UAC.

Explanation:

By the process of the translation mRNA turns into protein as mRNA is considered as blueprint of the protein. During translation tRNA contains anti-codons or amino acid this anti-codon is correspond to the codon of mRNA.

The anticodon of tRNA which is present at the accept site or anticodon of tRNA molecule is complementary to the codon present in the mRNA which means A pairs with U and G pairs with C only.

Thus, the correct answer would be - option D) UAC.

Dafna11 [192]

Which of the following statements is false? The inflammatory response can occur on the surface of the body and internally. Phagocytes are responsible for much of the healing that occurs with inflammation. Platelets release a growth factor that stimulates endothelial cells to divide, and the wound heals. Pus is produced during an inflammatory response that is inappropriately strong. Mast cells release propagandist, which are partly responsible for the pain of inflammation.

It's B

A scientist runs an SDS-PAGE experiment two separate times on a protein with a molecular weight of 200 kD. For the first experim
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

This protein consists of 8 subunits of equal size linked by disulfide bonds

Explanation:

The sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel (SDS-PAGE) is a technique widely used in molecular biology laboratories to separate proteins with molecular weights between 5 and 250 kDa. SDS is an anionic detergent used to denature proteins before electrophoresis. SDS can denature proteins by altering non-covalent bonds such as hydrogen, hydrophobic and ionic interactions, but they cannot cleave disulfide bonds. In this case, reducing agents (e.g.,  β-mercaptoethanol or dithiothreitol) have been used to cleave disulfide bonds.
