Why is rna necessary to turn the dna code into protein code?

Biology
1 answer:
salantis [7]4 years ago

<span>There are 2 parts to the answer:

1. DNA is very long. It is simply not efficient to translate proteins directly from DNA. We need a messenger to copy the information from the DNA in much more compact, manageable and short molecule, thus mRNA copies the code for a specific protein off the DNA, is exported from the nucleus and is then used as a template to create the protein.

2. Regulation. Having mRNA as an intermediate stage between the coding and the translation of the information into protein, enables fantastic and advanced control.
a. It allows the sequestering of DNA into the nucleus. A tremendous advantage for regulation.
b. It allows regulation on the transcriptional level by transcription factors - when and how much we end up with any specific protein.
c. It enables alternative splicing - again another level of control, and adds options for diversity,

These reasons are why RNA is necessary.</span><span> </span>

As a general rule, if you're in the Northern Hemisphere, look towards the southern skies to see the galactic core. This can be southeast (Spring), due south (Summer), or southwest (Fall) depending on the time of year. As mentioned above, Sagittarius is found nearest the galactic core.

Complete a Punnett square that shows a test cross for a tall pea plant (RR x rr). Place the plant to be tested at the top of the
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

we'll use () to indicate the different boxes

      ( )   (r)    (r)

     (R)  (Rr)  (Rr)

     (R)  (Rr)  (Rr)

You will have a 2 by 2 cell for your answer.  One set of your test (rr) will go across the top as is shown and the other will be vertical (RR) as shown.  Go down the line and put the letter you see at the top in each box and then do the same going across.

      ( )   (r)   (r)

      ( )   (r)   ( )

      ( )   (r)   ( )

      ( )   (r)   (r)

     (R)  (Rr) (R)

     (R)   (r)   ( )

I tried to make this a comprehensible as possible but just draw your diagram and put the letters in the exact order as shown and then read this.  It may make more sense that way.

Why do phospholipids form a bilayer in water
alexgriva [62]
Phospholipids will form a bilayer in water because they contain hydrophobic (Water fearing.. in this cause water "hating") tails and hydrophilic heads (water loving). So they form a bilayer to remove the tails from water likewise, this satisfies the hydrophilic heads because they are still exposed to water.
