Answer:

Please find the explanation below

Explanation:

Our nucleus is made up of a genetic material called deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), which is a double-helical structure that stores the genetic information needed for the optimal functioning of any organism. DNA, alongside RNA are nucleic acids that are composed of NUCLEOTIDES subunits. The nucleotide consists of a pentose sugar (deoxyribose in DNA and ribose in RNA), nitrogenous base and a phosphate group.

However, the genetic information stored in the DNA molecule needs to be expressed in order to form useful products (proteins). This genetic expression is done in two stages viz: transcription and translation. Transcription, which is catalyzed by an enzyme called RNA polymerase is the process whereby the information stored in the DNA is used to synthesize a mRNA molecule. However, this mRNA molecule is considered pre-mature until it is processed. RNA processing occurs in three stages viz: 5' capping, polyadenylation, and splicing.

5' capping involves adding a 5' cap to the marks molecule. Polyadenylation involves adding a poly(A) tail to the mRNA molecule while splicing is the removal of introns (non coding regions) with the aid of Spliceosomes and joining of the exons (coding region). After processing, the mRNA becomes matured and ready to be translated.

Translation is the process whereby the mRNA transcript is used to synthesize a protein molecule. It occurs in the ribosomes (organelles for protein synthesis, a complex of rRNA and proteins) where the mRNA is read in a group of three nucleotides called CODON. The reading is done by the Anticodon of a transfer RNA (tRNA), which is complementary to the codon.

Translation occurs in three stages: initiation, elongation and termination. The mRNA attaches to the P site of the ribosomes (initiation) where it is attached to by a tRNA's anticodon complementary to it. The anticodon carries the amino acid corresponding the codon and shifts to the A-site. The addition of amino acid to the polypeptide chain continues (elongation) until a stop codon is encountered, which signals the end of the translation process i.e. termination. This causes the polypeptide (protein) to be released from the E-site.

The synthesized protein undergoes packaging and modification in the Golgi apparatus.

White blood cells, part of the ___________ system, work closely with the ___________ system to protect us from infection and dis
tresset_1 [31]

Answer: The correct answer for the fill in the blank is A) Circulatory, immune.

Circulatory system also called cardiovascular system is a vast network of organs and vessels that allow the circulation of blood so as to transport nutrients, oxygen, other gases, and hormones to different parts of the body.

Blood contains different cells like white blood cells, red blood cells, platelets.

White blood cells ( also called leukocytes) work closely with immune system. They provide defense against pathogen ( disease causing organisms) through various ways ( like ingesting foreign material, producing antibodies to clear the antigens). By doing so, they protect us from infection and disease.

If the zoom knob on a dissecting scope is set to 1.2 what is the total magnification of objects viewed of objects viewed through
TEA [102]

Total magnification of objects is 12x.

Dissecting microscopes are microscopes with only one set of lenses so they have less magnification than a compound microscope.

The eyepiece, or ocular lens of microscope, usually has a magnification of 10x. The numbers on magnification knob range from about 0.7 to 3. So, when you want to calculate the total magnification multiply the magnification on the eyepiece with the number on the magnification knob.
