Controlling the rates of transcription and translation is important in bacteria to avoid collisions between ribosomes and rna po

lymerases. calculate what the maximum rate of translation by a ribosome in a bacterial cell would have to be, in units of amino acids per second, so as not to overtake an rna polymerase that is transcribing mrna at a rate of 60 nucleotides per second.

The right answer is 20 aminoacids per second.

Transcription is a mechanism for synthesizing RNA from DNA.

Translation is a mechanism for synthesizing a polypeptide sequence from mRNA by converting the nucleotide triplet (codons) to amino acids.

So if one amino acid corresponds to three nucleotides. The polypeptide synthesis rate should be 20 amino acids per second for 60 nucleotides per second.

3 nucleotides ==> 1 amino acid

60 nucleotides ==> 60/3 = 20 amino acids.

Which progeny among generation iii are showing recombination between rflp1 and dominant disease locus?
Sergio039 [100]
RFLP = Restriction fragment length polymorphismWe can say that an individual has a recombination when we see that in RFLP there are two bands. One in normal migration, and one in the pathologic migration.In generation III we can see it in individual 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, and 10. Any modification of the DNA sequences (mutation, addition, deletion) frequently rearranges the restriction sites. During the action of restriction enzymes, the size of the restriction fragments is then modified, and the fragments are then separated differently according to their size by electrophoresis: a polymorphism is observed.

An example of chemical digestion is the breakdown of __________ into __________.
vodomira [7]
starch into glucose
proteins
into amino acids
lipids
into fatty acids

There are many more examples of chemical digestion which takes place in the body. Chemical digestion is the breaking of larger more complex molecules into smaller, simpler ones that can be taken up by the cells more easily and readily by the use of chemical agents.. Chemical digestion is carried out primarily using biological molecules called enzymes. For example, the breakdown of starch is done by an enzyme known as amylase, which is present in the saliva.

Describe what the nucleus looks like.
MrRa [10]
A nucleus consists of a nuclear membrane that surrounds it, within the membrane there is a nucleolus which can be compared metaphorically to the yolk of an egg in appearance. The nucleolus is surrounded by nucleoplasm which is quite like the cytoplasm.

All of the following statements describe kinesin-I EXCEPT__________.
adell [148]

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Kinesin -1 is the major anterograde motor which helps in the transportation along micro tubules. This is important for the proper transport of the mitochondria, Golgi derived vesicles,  endoplasmic reticulum tubulin, mRNA and intermediate filament sub units.

It moves along the micro tubules and for this task it gets energy from the adenosine triphosphate.

The heavy chain of KInesin 1 is made of globular head via short flexible neck and has a light chain as well which ends in the carboxy terminal.
