Answer:

For erythropoesis/ RBC production, anaemia

Explanation:

Our body needs a constant supply of blood. The blood contains haemoglobin which is a respiratory pigment and a conjugated protein. It contains iron and globin protein. This iron-containing pigment supplies more oxygen to the tissues and gives red colour to the blood. The deficiency of iron or this haemoglobin pigment in the blood leads to anaemia. The iron pigment or haem pigment of haemoglobin increases the carrying capacity of oxygen. Our body tissue needs oxygen for metabolism.We get iron from foods and these irons play an important role in RBC production in the bone marrow.

The respiratory system always needs iron. The red blood cells are in charge of the transport of O2. They need iron to do this. 

Hope this helps! :)

DNA polymerase has multiple mechanisms for editing and error correction whereas the capacity for error correction in RNA polymer
BigorU [14]

The given question is incomplete as the option are not provided however, the correct options are as follows:

Defective proteins are often degraded quickly, making their effects temporary.

Single amino acid substitutions caused by errors in mRNA transcription would not affect protein function.

Unlike DNA mutations, mRNA transcripts have short half-lives and are not inherited across many generations.

Degradation of defective proteins activates mRNA repair pathways RNA polymerases synthesize many transcripts per gene, so only a small fraction of RNA transcripts would have errors.

ch mRNA molecule is only translated once and then degraded

Answer:

The correct answer is - statements 1, 3, and 4.

Explanation:

DNA polymerase is the enzyme that is responsible for the production of the new DNA molecule and any mutation in this enzyme that will inhibit the DNA repair process which affects future generations.

RNA polymerase is an enzyme that is responsible for the transcription of DNA to mRNA and any error-prone mRNAs have chances of degradation. Error in DNA replication is from generation to generation as it is inherited

The process of transcription is quick.

Describe how building-block molecules combine to form each of the four types of biological macromolecules
Tamiku [17]
<span>The building blocks for lipids are three fatty molecules and one glycerol molecule.They join to form a simple fat, or triglyceride. Proteins building blocks are amino acids. Amino acids are small molecules that contain carbon, hydrogen oxygen, and nitrogen atoms. Nucleic acids building blocks are nucleotides which are connected to form long chains,</span>
