Most organisms use DNA as their genetic material. RNA viruses are able to use RNA instead.What molecular mechanisms allow these

viruses to use RNA as their genetic material instead of DNA?

Answer:

Reverse transcription

Explanation:

Some viruses such as HIV have RNA as genetic material.  In them RNA stores genetic information. These viruses are called retroviruses. They are known as retroviruses because they have the enzyme reverse transcriptase. During protein synthesis, they use RNA as a template to synthesise complimentary DNA with the help of reverse transcriptase. Thus central dogma is as follows:

RNA ⇒ DNA  ⇒   mRNA ⇒ protein  

Reverse transcription ⇒ Transcription ⇒ translation

... termed "hypotonic," meaning less solids (or more diluted) than inside the cell. For fluid movement in/out of cells, water will diffuse (via osmosis) from the hypotonic solution to the hypertonic one, assuming a permeable barrier (i.e. cell membrane) allows it. With this case, water will flow into the cell from outside.

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.

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

How does nutrient losses compare between the natural and clear-cut watersheds
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

A watershed is a region obtaining both land and water. This is a shallow land region which accumulates water from drainage obtain from different sources like lake, river and pond.  A watershed may also develop in a forest ecosystem. The clear cutting of forest will result expose more amount of soil nutrients for erosion by water as compared to natural forest. Therefore, nutrient loss will be higher in clear- cut watershed than natural forest watershed.
