The production of protein molecules through transcription and translation

Transcription occurs in the nucleus of the cell. RNA polymerase breaks the hydrogen bonds and unzips a portion of DNA. RNA nucleotides match the DNA strand forming mRNA. In mRNA thymine is replaced by uracil. Once mRNA is formed it leaves the nucleus through a nuclear pore into the cytoplasm. The purpose of mRNA is to remove the protein code out of the nucleus without pulling the DNA out. mRNA then needs to find ribosomes in the cytoplasm which can be found on the rough ER. mRNA has read three bases at the same time and these are called codons. Ribosomes read the mRNA code and add the correct amino acid using tRNA. tRNA has an anti-codon on one end which will match a specific codon, and a specific amino acid on the other end. This will make translation happen.

Translation- mRNA attaches to a ribosome and a start codon must be read. tRNA brings the first amino acid which matches the codon on mRNA. The next tRNA molecule moves in and matches with the codon on mRNA while amino acids form a peptide bond. First tRNA detaches itself and mRNA shifts for the next tRNA molecule to come in. Protein grows until a stop codon is reached and then it's ready to finish folding to become functional.

Answer:

a. blue and featherless

Explanation:

Feathers (F) are dominant to no feathers (f)
Blue body (B) is dominant to white body (b)

If we testcross a dihybrid, we are crossing a homozygous recessive individual with a heterozygous individual.

Recombination is a rare event in meiosis, so the more abundant offspring are always the parentals, and the less abundant offspring are the recombinant ones.

In this case, bf/bf and BF/bf are the parentals and Bf/bf and bF/bf are the recombinants.

The option a. Blue and featherless (Bf/bf) offspring are the recombinant babies.

how does fossil evidence of forests and freshwater organisms in Antarctica show that the climate there was warmer in the past

noname [10]

The fossil record of Antarctica shows the presence of tropical plants, such as one particular species related to the present day breadfruit. Most plants cannot survive in prolonged temperatures of less than 6 degrees Celsius. Antarctica is freezing all year round and could only have supported tropical and sub tropical plants if it was once much closer to the equator.
The presence of fresh water species also suggest that the continent was closer to the equator. Antarctica is frozen solid with a thick ice sheet.....rivers would be frozen solid all year round or would be limited to water movement under glaciers that melt as a result of pressure and friction. This environment is not suitable to support large fresh water organisms.
