The human chromosomes that do not determine whether an individual is male or female are called

Biology

RUDIKE [14]4 years ago

I believe they are called autosomes or non-sex chromosomes 
Sex chromosome determine whether an individual is male or female, in humans and other X and Y are the sex chromosomes. Such that female have two X chromosomes and male have an X and a Y.
Non-sex chromosomes or autosomes comes in pairs of homologous chromosomes (have the same genes arranged in similar order), thus for all of the genes on the autosomes, the female and males have two copies.

Different mRNA molecules can have poly-A tails of different lengths. Considering the purpose of adding the poly-A tail (from the
Roman55 [17]

Answer:  Then the longer it is, the more it protects against degradation. Proteins that are needed over a long period of time come from a long tailed mRNA.

Explanation:

Messenger RNA (mRNA) is the ribonucleic acid that transfers the genetic code from the DNA of the cell nucleus to a ribosome in the cytoplasm. It determines the order in which the amino acids in a protein will bind and acts as a template or pattern for the synthesis of that protein.

Messenger RNA is synthesized in the cell nucleus in eukaryotes from the process called DNA transcription. <u> In most cases, once this messenger RNA has been synthesized, it must be matured (RNA maturation)</u>. This involves the removal of intercalary sequences called non-coding introns from the protein to be synthesized. Then, the addition of a structure called CAP to the 5' end, which is a modified guanine nucleotide needed for the normal process of DNA transplantation and maintaining its stability. This is critical for proper recognition and access of the ribosome.  Also, polyadenylation which is the addition of the sequence called Poly-A to the 3' end. The Poly-A sequence is made up of several adenine molecules and is located at about 20-30 bp towards the tail (AAPAA sequence) or polyadenylation signal, which protects the end of the mRNA. The polyadenylation helps to increase the period of the message, so that the transcription lasts longer in the cell and therefore more protein is translated and produced.

This mature messenger RNA is transferred to the cell's cytoplasm, in the case of eukaryotes, through pores in the nuclear membrane.  The messenger RNA in the cytoplasm is coupled to the ribosomes, which are the machinery in charge of protein synthesis.<u>  However, after a certain amount of time the mRNA is degraded</u> into its component nucleotides, usually with the help of ribonucleases. So, an mRNA with a short tail will have a shorter lifespan.

Then, proteins that are needed over a long period of time come from a long tailed mRNA. And proteins that are briefly nedded come from a short tailed mRNA. This is because, as explained, the Poly-A tail serves to protect the mRNA molecule from degradation. So, then the longer it is, the more it protects against degradation.

High-energy electrons are transported from chlorophyll to other molecules in the chloroplast by
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

The most appropriate answer would be C.electron carriers such as NADP⁺.

High energy electrons are transported through electron transport chain embedded in a thylakoid membrane in order to produce energy rich compounds such as ATP and NADPH.

It is also called as light dependent reaction of photosynthesis. It includes four major protein complexes: photosystem II, photosystem I, cytochrome b6f complex, and ATP synthase.

The electron first gets excited from chlorophyll a present in the reaction center (P₆₈₀ and P₇₀₀) of two photosystems (PS II and PS I) . The electron in PS II is replenished by photolysis of water.

Different electron carriers (such as plastoquinone, plastocyanin, pheophytin, chlorophyll A₀ etc) are present which help in transferring this high energy electron from one complex to another. NADP⁺ is the final acceptor of the electron and gets reduced to NADPH.

NADPH and ATP are then used in dark reaction in order to fix carbon into sugars.
