amino acid and RNA (or anticodon)

tRNA is used in the process of translation, which is when cells create a protein (polypeptide) from a strand of mRNA just came from the nucleus and is floating in the cytoplasm. This process occurs with the help of ribosomes!

A ribosome binds to an mRNA molecule, and tRNA's come swooping in one at a time to add amino acids to a growing polypeptide chain (protein).

On one end of the tRNA is a set of 3 RNA bases (called an anticodon), that binds perfectly to the opposing next 3 bases on the mRNA strand (called a codon) as it works it way through the ribosome. On the other side of the tRNA is the amino acid that the codon on the mRNA codes for, thus allowing the specific protein to grow 1 amino acid at a time.

Demyelination results from issues associated with myelin producing cells. What is an example of a myelin producing cell in the c

aivan3 [116]

Explanation:

An example of a myelin producing cell in the CNS is oligodendrocyte

The major function of oligodendrocytes is the formation of myelin
Myelin acts as an insulator of axonal segments and is a prerequisite for the high velocity of nerve conduction
Larger axons form thicker myelin
During development, oligodendrocytes arise from precursors located in the sub-ventricular zone such as the sub-ventricular zone of the lateral ventricles for the cerebrum or the fourth ventricle for the cerebellum
In the spinal cord, oligodendrocytes originate from the ventral regions of the neural tube and in the optic nerve they migrate into the nerve from the third ventricle
It is the oligodendrocyte precursor cells which migrate to their destination where they then differentiate into the more mature oligodendrocytes
The proliferation of the oligodendrocyte progenitor cells is controlled by a number of growth factors released predominantly from neurons but also from astrocytes such as platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) or fibroblast growth factor (FGF)

What gases is contributing the most to causing global warming?

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:(2010) analysed how individual components of the atmosphere contribute to the total greenhouse effect. They estimated that water vapor accounts for about 50% of Earth's greenhouse effect, with clouds contributing 25%, carbon dioxide 20%, and the minor greenhouse gases and aerosols accounting for the remaining 5%.
