Which best describes a cell process common to both projaryotic and eukaryotic cells?
Tomtit [17]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>All prokaryotes and eukaryotes have nucleic acid as the genetic material which stores the hereditary information. </em>

Describe the function of each of the following in protein synthesis; rRNA, mRNA, and tRNA
Drupady [299]
Proteins synthesis requires transcription of DNA (containing information) to mRNA then this goes out of the cell’s nucleus to cytoplasm; and translation of mRNA together with ribosome and tRNA to synthesize proteins. Further steps are the following: 1) One side of DNA strand is copied to become mRNA (messenger RNA). 2) mRNA goes out the cell’s nucleus, next to cytoplasm and then to ribosome. 3) mRNA works with ribosome’s 3 bases at the same time. 4) tRNA (transfer RNA) connects with available DNA bases. <span>5) tRNA releases the amino acids which in turn combines with the other produced amino acid chains from different DNAs. </span>

A true-breeding pea plant with round, green seeds was crossed to a true-breeding plant with wrinkled, yellow seeds. Round and ye

Answer:

See explanations

Explanation:

Gregor Mendel developed the model of heredity that now bears his name by experiments on various charactersitics of pea plants: height (tall vs. Short); seed color (yellow vs. Green); seat coat (smooth vs. wrinkled), etc. The following explanation uses the tall/short trait. The other traits Mendel studied can be substituted for tall and short.

Mendel started out with plants that "bred true". That is, when tall plants were self-pollinated (or cross-pollinated with others like them), plants in following generations were all tall; when the short plants were self-pollinated (or cross- pollinated with others like them) the plants in following generations were all short.

Mendel found that if true breeding Tall [T] plants are crossed (bred) with true breeding short [t] plants, all the next generation of plants, called F1, are all tall.

Next, he showed that self-pollinated F1 plants (or cross- pollinated with other F1 plants) produce an F2 generation with 3/4 of the plants tall and 1/4 short.

A. 1/4 of the F2 generation are short plants, which produce only short plants in the F3 generation, if they are self- pollinated (or crossed with other short F2 plants;) these F2 plants breed true.

B, 1/4 of the F2 generation (1/3 of the tall plants) are tall plants that produce only tall plants in the F3 generation, if they are self-pollinated; these tall F2 plants breed true.

C. 1/2 of the F2 generation (2/3 of the tall plants) are tall plants that produce 1/4 short plants and 3/4 tall plants in the next [F3] generation, if they are self-pollinated. This is the same proportion of tall to short that F1 plants produce.
