Describe cynodonts. What is their place in the evolution of mammals?

1 answer:

6 0

Mammals are advanced synapsids, animals distinguished by having extra openings in the skull behind the eyes; this opening gave the synapsids stronger jaw muscles and jaws (the jaw muscles were anchored to the skull opening) than previous animals. Synapsids include the mammals, and their ancestors, the pelycosaurs, therapsids, and cynodonts. Pelycosaurs (like Dimetrodon and Edaphosaurus) were early synapsids, they were mammal-like reptiles. Later synapsids include the therapsids and the cynodonts (with multicusped post-canine teeth; they lived from the late Permian through the Triassic period). The cynodonts led to the true mammals. Over time, the synapsid gait became more upright and tail length decreased

A researcher incubates a cell with radiolabeled amino acids. These amino acids are incorporated into the proteins as they are sy

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

The incorporation of radiolabeled amino acids during protein synthesis occurs when the data shows the organelles involved with protein synthesis, packaging and transport, that is, radioactivity levels would increase first at the rough endoplasmic reticulum, followed by the Golgi, and then the secretory vesicles (option C).

Explanation:

Protein synthesis in the cell occurs when RNA -which contains the sequence of triplets or codons that make up the genetic code- is coupled to ribosomes.

Each codon or triplet, consisting of three nucleotides, will give instructions for specific amino acids to be incorporated into the polypeptide chain that is being synthesized in the rough endoplasmic reticulum.

The Golgi apparatus is responsible for packaging or packaging the newly synthesized proteins in secretory vesicles for transport.

In consecuense, radioactivity levels would increase in the organelles involved in protein synthesis, packaging and transport, the rough endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus and secretory vesicles, respectively.

In which organelle are most molecules of ATP produced by the cell

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

Eukaryotic ATP production usually takes place in the mitochondria of the cell.

Explanation:

This ATP production by the mitochondria is done by the process of respiration, which in essence is the use of oxygen in a process which generates energy. Most of the ATP of a eukaryotic organism is made in the mitochondria during the last phase of cellular respiration that is called the electron transport chain (ETC). A mitochondrion is an organelle within a eukaryotic cell.
