Describe the productions of protein through transcription and translation
Rainbow [258]
Genes provide information for building proteins. They don’t however directly create proteins. The production of proteins is completed through two processes: transcription and translation. Transcription and translation take the information in DNA and use it to produce proteins. Transcription uses a strand of DNA as a template to build a molecule called RNA. The RNA molecule is the link between DNA and the production of proteins. During translation, the RNA molecule created in the transcription process delivers information from the DNA to the protein building machines. Through transcription the sequence of bases of the DNA are transcribed into the reciprocal sequence of bases in a strand of RNA. Through transcription the information of the DNA molecule is passed onto the new strand of RNA which can then carry the information to where proteins are produced. RNA molecules used for this purpose are known as messenger RNA (mRNA). A gene is a particular segment of DNA. The sequence of bases in for a gene determines the sequence of nucleotides along an RNA molecule. Only one strand of a DNA double helix is transcribed for each gene. This strand is known as the ‘template strand’. The same template strand of DNA is used every time that particular gene is transcribed. The opposite strand of the DNA double helix may be transcribed for other genes. During translation, the information of the strand of RNA is ‘translated’ from RNA language into polypeptide language i.e. the sequence of nucleotides is translated into a sequence of amino acids.

A lot of informations but I hope this helps ;)

Which factor might an editor consider when trying to judge the validity of a scientific report submitted for publication?
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

<em>The correct options are</em>

<em> B)  If the sources used are peer reviewed</em>

<em>D) If the writing is based on sound evidence</em>

Explanation:

To check whether a scientific report is valid or not, one must determine whether the results deduced from its experiments were accurate and true or not. If the writing provides sound evidence for its experiments to be true and not biased, then the editor will most likely publish it. A report that is supported by peer reviews will be the best to publish as the data in it will be considered to be more authentic and accurate. Hence, option B and D will be true.

What is the difference between independent and dependent variables
trasher [3.6K]

The two main variables in an experiment are the independent and dependent variable.

An independent variable is the variable that is changed or controlled in a scientific experiment to test the effects on the dependent variable.

A dependent variable is the variable being tested and measured in a scientific experiment.

The dependent variable is 'dependent' on the independent variable. As the experimenter changes the independent variable, the effect on the dependent variable is observed and recorded.

For example, a scientist wants to see if the brightness of light has any effect on a moth being attracted to the light. The brightness of the light is controlled by the scientist. This would be the independent variable. How the moth reacts to the different light levels (distance to light source) would be the dependent variable.

When results are plotted in graphs, the convention is to use the independent variable as the x-axis and the dependent variable as the y-axis.
