Answer: The transcription and translation process allows trna and rrna molecules to be used to synthesize wide variety of polypeptides.

Explanation:

DNA molecule is made up of information for coding proteins. This information is passed on the mRNA during a process known as transcription. Transcription is the first of many steps of DNA based gene expression in which a part of the segment of DNA is copied into RNA (especially mRNA) by the enzyme RNA polymerase.

Both DNA and RNA are nucleic acids, which use base pairs of nucleotides as a complementary language. During the process of transcription, a DNA sequence is read by an RNA polymerase, which gives a complementary, antiparallel RNA strand referred to as a primary transcript.

A large diversity among genes is followed by a large amount of various mRNA molecules. However, the ribosomes consist of rRNA, which is included in the process of translation. Translation is the process whereby ribosomes in the cytoplasm or ER synthesize proteins after the process of transcription of DNA to RNA in the cell's nucleus. The overall process is called gene expression.

The smallest of the three types of RNA is tRNA, which has only 75 to 95 nucleotides and has a role in bringing particular amino acids to the growing polypeptide. It can be concluded that mRNA contribute to the diversity of polypeptide molecules due to the fact that it carries an information about their synthesis.

A group of cells is assayed for DNA content immediately following mitosis and is found to have an average of 4 picograms of DNA

damaskus [11]

Answer:

b: 8;8

Explanation:

Mitotic or meiotic cell division constitute the m phase of the cell cycle. At the end of the m phase, the new cells enter the interphase stage of the cell cycle. The interphase is further sub-divided into;

the $G_0$ phase,
the $G_1$ phase,
the S phase; and
the $G_2$ phase.

The $G_0$ phase is essentially a resting phase. Cells that do not need to divide except when necessary move into this phase after exiting the m phase.

Actively dividing cells enter the $G_1$ phase after exiting the m phase. Cell development and growth takes place. From there, the cells enter the S phase where DNA replication/synthesis takes place. The cells then enter the $G_2$ phase where proteins are synthesized in preparation for division or m phase.

At the S phase, the amount of DNA a cell carries is doubled but the chromosome number remains the same. For example, if a cell enters the S phase with 2 g of DNA containing 10 chromosomes, at the end of S phase, the amount of DNA would have come 4 g while the number of chromosomes will remain 10.

Hence, if the average amount of DNA in the assayed cells immediately after mitosis is 4 picograms, the amount would be 8 picograms at the end of S phase and will still remains 8 picograms at the end of $G_2$ phase.

The correct option is b.

Would the liver cells that develop from the mutated cell have the same mutation

Yes because why a cell goes through mitosis the DNA is an exact replica, there forever having the same mutations

When the ride is at the top of its pole, it has all potential energy. When it is in the middle, at 34 meters, it has 50% potential energy and 50% kinetic energy. When the ride is almost at the bottom, it has kinetic energy that turns into potential energy as it reaches the end.
