The type of ecosystem that covers much of South east Asia is the Rainforest Ecosystem. This ecosystem is characterized by heavy rainfall all year round (up to 4000 mm in some regions). The Temperature does not fluctuate much but remains in the range of 27-33 degrees Celsius annually.
Rain forest ecosystems have deep red soils known as latosols. Species are very diverse; both plants and animals. The trees here can reach up to 40 metres tall for the emergent layer. Trees are tall and have buttress roots for support. The leaves of plants have drip tips to allow water to run off quickly.

Regulatory proteins typically contain sites that can bind to other proteins or small molecules. Through such binding interaction

nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Regulatory sites e.g enhancers and silencers

Explanation:

Gene expression involves the synthesis of gene products usually proteins and RNA. However, a certain product might not be needed at all or in small quantity. Gene regulation mechanism is the process that makes this happen. Gene regulation is the mechanism that acts to induce or repress the expression of a gene.

Gene regulation involves controlling the rate and manner of gene expression which is achieved through a set of regulatory proteins called transcription factors. Transcription factors bind to specific regulatory nucleotide sequences and help to turn "on or off" specific genes in the DNA.

Transcription factors can either be ACTIVATORS or REPRESSORS depending on whether they boost or inhibit gene expression. The binding sites for these regulatory proteins called TRANSCRIPTION factors are the regulatory nucleotide sequences on the DNA called enhancers and silencers.

Doctors are seeing an alarming increase in the number of cases of tuberculosis (TB) that is resistant to drugs commonly used to

WARRIOR [948]

Ans.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a bacterial infection that affects mainly respiratory tract and can be transmitted from one to another person through contaminated air. The causative agent of tuberculosis, Mycobacterium tuberculosis has developed resistance against many antibiotics, such as rifampin and isoniazid, which is known as tuberculosis drug resistance.

If a person infected with TB shows drug resistance against some TB drugs, 'doctors should give other TB drugs to that person, even if these drugs show less effect than common drugs'. This is because these drugs can prevent or kill the bacterium more effectively than the common drugs for which, bacterium is resistance.

What are two basic differences between DNA and RNA

Ray Of Light [21]

Structurally

DNA and RNA are nearly identical. As mentioned earlier, however, there are three fundamental differences that account for the very different functions of the two molecules. RNA has a ribose sugar instead of a deoxyribose sugar like DNA.RNA nucleotides have a uracil base instead of thymine.
