Ans.

Chimpanzees and gorillas are considered as more closely related to humans as compared to monkeys. It is because apes have a larger brain, longer life-span, higher intelligence, longer legs and show absence of tails as humans, while monkeys have a smaller brain, short-life span, short legs, and tails.

Thus, the correct answer is option A). apes are larger than monkeys and have long legs and no tails.

Scientists believe that great apes such as chimpanzees and gorillas are more closely related to humans based on the evolutionary timeline because apes are larger than monkeys and have long legs and no tails. Apes are known to have larger brains than monkeys which makes them so closely related to us. This fact cancels out B and C for the answer. Also, apes (gorillas, orangutans, etc.) are much larger than monkeys (mandrill, lesula, etc.). This right away cancels out option D. What's left is option A which features body parts and comparisons that are comparatively accurate towards humans. Hope this helped :))

What organelle does the mRNA strand go to so protein synthesis can start?
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

The mRNA strands go to the cytoplasm to meet ribosomes so protein synthesis can start.

Explanation:

In protein synthesis, the first step is to <em>synthesize messenger RNA</em>, mRNA. The coping process of the DNA section for the desired protein is called <u><em>transcription</em></u>, and it happens in the <em>nucleus</em>. After that, it occurs <em><u>translation</u></em>, when the formed <em>mRNA moves to the </em><em>cytoplasm</em> through the nucleus membrane pores. Protein synthesis is initiated in the cytoplasm when mRNA meets a free ribosome, the primary structure for protein synthesis. Ribosomes are made of <em>protein and ribosomal RNA</em> and can be found in the r<em>ough endoplasmic reticulum</em> or floating in the <em>cytosol</em>. They read the mRNA code and add the correct amino acid using <em>transference RNA</em> to build the protein. mARN has a <em>start and end codon</em> that tells where to start and stop adding amino acids. When the ribosome reaches the end codon, it means that protein synthesis is finished. The new protein is driven to the rough endoplasmic reticulum and translocated to the lumen. Once there, the protein suffers a few modifications, one of them is <em>folding</em> to become functional. Finally, protein is transported by vesicles to the Golgi complex, and from there to its final destiny.
