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.

How is phospholipid bilayer arranged? and why does it arrange that way?
Ainat [17]
It arranges as 2 layers of phospholipids where the hydrophilic(water-loving) heads face toward the outside and the hydrophobic(water-hating) tails are on the inside. They arrange like this to allow for selective permeability which is why this is what a cell's plasma membrane is made up of.

Which of the following chemical reactions is represented in the figure?
soldi70 [24.7K]
This is d) because this is a condensation reaction it produces water which is happening so it cannot be hydrolysis reaction. When this water leaves the reaction we are left with
——C——N——

O H
Because we have taken the OH and H away which when added together makes H20 which is water! So this link is called an amine link or a peptide link! Which is what we have been left with!
Hope it helped :)

bogdanovich [222]
In order to achieve a nuclear fusion, one of the following requirements that must be attained are high temperature and high pressure.

High temperature - temperature must be 100 million degrees kelvin to a point that hydrogen already becomes plasma

High pressure - extremely high pressure is required so that the distance between hydrogen atoms must be at the required 1 picometer apart
