Craig Mellow investigated RNA interference by injecting antisense and double-stranded RNAs into C. elegans. If the antisense and

double-stranded RNAs were very similar, but not identical, to C. elegans mex-3, what would be the results of their experiment

Answer:

It is required that the seed region of the processed dsRNA molecule bind to the mRNA of mex-3  in order to inhibit its translation

Explanation:

Double-stranded RNAs are small interfering non-coding RNAs (about 20 nucleotides in length) that, after processing, can bind by complementary base pairing to RNAs and thus inhibit protein translation by a mechanism referred to as 'RNA interference' (RNAi). The base pairing is not always perfect; however, the guide strands of dsRNAs can conserve their ability to inhibit the translation if the complementarity is enough good to match target RNA sequences. The critical region in the dsRNA that is required to bind target RNAs is known as seed region, and consists of 6 to 8 nucleotides in length.

What causes the Inner Core to remain a solid?
Ann [662]

Answer:

Temperature

Explanation:

The inner core is solid because it is made of very dense, or heavy, materials - like iron and nickel. Even though it is very hot, these materials don't "melt" very easily, so they stay solid.

Large amounts of _____, the usable energy for the cell, are produced during the electron transport chain when high-energy ______
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Proton motive force, compounds such as ATP.

Explanation:

Large amount of proton motive force(PMF),the usable enegy for the cell ,are produced during electron transport chain when high energy compound such as ATP pump hydrogen ions against the concentration gradient.

               When the protons are transported against their concentration gradient at that time proton motive force is generated.

       PMF generates energy for the synthesis of ATP by the phosphorylation of ADP with inorganic phosphate.

Elis [28]

Answer:

c. Brownian ratchet

Explanation:

Mitochondria are cell organelles. They are known as the power house of the cells. The energy needed to power the cell is generated by the mitochondria. They functions like a digestive system.

The mitochondria chaperone are proteins that helps the proteins along pathways for their folding. They shield the proteins from other proteins and protect them from binding the folding process. The chaperone are mainly concern with the folding of protein.

The chaperone acts as a Brownian ratchet as the mitochondrial chaperone guides the matrix protein into matrix by the biased diffusion process.
