Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML) is a type of cancer that is caused by a specific chromosomal alteration that leads to the ina

ppropriate expression of a kinase called Abl. Kinases are enzymes that put phosphate groups onto macromolecules such as proteins. A drug used to treat CML, imatinib, binds to the active site of Abl kinase. Why does this drug work to treat this type of cancer?
A) By binding to the active site, the drug decreases the activation energy for the reaction driven by Abl kinase.
B) By binding to the active site, the drug prevents the ability of Abl kinase to bind to its substrate.
C) By binding to the active site, the drug allows for a better induced fit between Abl kinase and its substrate.
D) By binding to the active site, the drug increases the amount of free energy released from the reaction driven by Abl kinase.

the diagram shows the movement of water through a plant which two terms or phrases describe the process shown
azamat

Answer:

B. Open Stomata

C. Transpiration

Explanation:

Even though plants take up a lot of water from their roots, they lose about 95% of it to the atmosphere in the process known as Transpiration.

Transpiration is done for several reasons: it cools the plant down, it enables plants to access the nutrients in the water as the water moves along the plant and it enables gaseous exchange.

The gaseous exchange happens because carbon dioxide comes in from the same holes on the leaf that the water leaves through to the atmosphere, the open stomata.

When warm air moves over cold air, a warm front forms. The warm air tends to rise along a gentle slope above the cold air and fo
pshichka [43]

Answer:

Since warm air gradually replaces cold air along a warm front, layers of stratus clouds are formed. A continuous drizzly rain tends to fall since stratus clouds typically cover large areas of the sky. Once the front has passed, however, clear and warm weather tends to follow. the answer is stratus clouds and drizzly rain

List and describe the role of the 3 types of rna.
steposvetlana [31]

<span>There are three RNAs with a role in the synthesis of protein.</span>

mRNA, or messenger RNA, is the link between a gene and a protein. The main role of this ribonucleic acid is in transcription (”reading“) of DNA. The DNA is transcribed by RNA polymerase, and the resulting product of this process is mRNA. This form of RNA can be modified post-transcriptionally with methylguanosine caps and polyadenosine tails. RNA carries the genetic information which is copied from DNA and the information has a form of three-base code (“words”), codons. Each of these codons specifies a particular amino acid.

tRNA or transfer RNA is the molecule with the main function in translation by "decoding" the mRNA message during this process. Each type of amino acid has its own type of tRNA and also has a three-base sequence (anticodon) that can bind complementary with the codons in the mRNA.

rRNA or ribosomal RNA is a main component of ribosomes. rRNA associates with a set of proteins to form ribosomes which catalyze the assembly of amino acids into polypeptide chains (protein).

 

<span>There are also a few more types of RNA which have a regulatory function like, microRNA or siRNA.</span>
