Answer and Explanation:

In protein synthesis, the first step is to synthesize messenger RNA, mRNA. The coping process of the DNA section for the desired protein is called transcription, and it happens in the nucleus. After that, it occurs translation, when the formed mRNA moves to the cytoplasm through the nucleus membrane pores.

Protein synthesis is initiated in the cytoplasm when mRNA meets a free ribosome, the primary structure for protein synthesis. Ribosomes are made of protein and ribosomal RNA and can be found in the rough endoplasmic reticulum or floating in the cytosol. Free ribosomes are not attached to any cytoplasmic structure or organelle. They synthesize proteins only for internal cell use. Other ribosomes are attached to the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum and they are in charge of synthesizing membrane proteins or exportation proteins. Free and attached ribosomes are identical and they can alternate their location. This means that although free ribosomes are floating in the cytosol, eventually, they can get attached to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane.

Synthesis of proteins might start in the cytoplasm with the production of a molecule portion known as a signal sequence. During translation, mRNAs are read in the 5´ to 3´ direction, and tRNA transfer the correct amino acids to build the polypeptide chain. The protein is then synthesized from the amino terminus to the carboxy terminus. Each amino acid is specified by a codon formed by three bases in the mRNA. mARNs have a start and end codon that tells the ribosome where to start and stop adding amino acids. When the ribosome reaches the end codon, it means that protein synthesis is finished.

If the protein is a membrane or exportation protein, the synthesizing protein and its associated ribosome are lead from the cytosol to a specific region in the Rough endoplasmic reticulum where it continues the protein building, and then the protein is translocated to the lumen. Once there, the protein suffers a few modifications, one of them is folding to become functional. Finally, protein is transported by vesicles to the Golgi complex, and from there to its final destiny. In the Golgi complex, it also happens the protein folding and the initial stages of glycosylation.

Which of the following are NOT correct based on Darwin's theory of evolution?

Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

D variations in individuals are not heritable

Explanation:

Genetic variation in individuals is what drives evolution. In a population of individuals in an environment, with the adequate resources, overpopulation can occur. However, resources are usually a limiting factor for population growth: there is not sufficient food/shelter etc. for everyone to survive.

Some individuals are better suited to success in the environment. This is because of random variation in their DNA that has arisen that give them a selective advantage. This allows them to thrive, take advantage of the limited resources over other members of the population, and be more likely to survive to reproductive age. This is natural selection.

Because this variation is genetic (in the DNA), they can then pass it on to their offspring. Over time, this leads to evolution over time.

Which is a difference between the Paleozoic and Mesozoic era?

Snowcat [4.5K]

Explanation:

Animals lived in the water during the Mesozoic and on land in the Paleozoic. Animal complexity increased during the Paleozoic while the first flowering plants appeared in the Mesozoic era. ...

The Paleozoic era, not the Mesozoic era, had the first dinosaurs. The first mammals emerged in the Paleozoic era, not the Mesozoic era. The Mesozoic era, not the Paleozoic era, had the first animals with shells.

Temka [501]

<span>Joints with no movement are called immoveable or fibrous joints.They are also called synathrosis, they are only separated by a thin layer of fibrous connective tissue e.g are the sutures of the skull. Joints that are more loosely connected are called freely moveable or synovial joints. They are also called diarthrosis.The joints are held together by an articular capsule comprised of ligaments. A synovial membrane lines the inside of the capsule and secretes synovial fluid which lubricates the joint (hence it's name).</span>

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

Zero (0)

Explanation:

According to the given information the genotype of the woman with blood type "AB" would by I^AI^B. The genotype of the man with blood type O would be "ii". Here, the alleles I^A and I^B are dominant over the allele "i".

A cross between parents with genotype I^AI^B and ii would give 50% of children with I^Ai genotype and 50% of children with I^Bi genotype. The children with "I^Ai genotype" would have blood type "A" and the children with I^Bi genotype would have blood type "B". This couple is never likely to have any child with blood type "O" since the mother does not carry allele "i".

Cross: I^AI^B x ii = 1/2 I^Ai : 1/2 I^Bi
