Answer: Protein molecules are made through the transcription of a DNA strand into an mRNA strand and the translation of the mRNA into a protein. Transcription takes place in the nucleus of the cell while translation takes place in the ribosome.

Explanation: Transcription is a process of copying the genetic message encoded in a DNA strand into a messenger RNA (mRNA). This process is the first step in protein synthesis and takes place in the nucleus. It is catalyzed by an enzyme known as RNA polymerase. The synthesized mRNA then leaves the nucleus and enters the ribosome where translation occurs. During translation, the mRNA passes through the ribosome complex three nucleotides at a time where the codon is read and the corresponding amino acid coded for is fetched and attached to the peptide chain by the transfer RNA (tRNA). Translation starts when the ribosome encounters the start or initiation codon on the mRNA molecule. The start codon is AUG and it codes for methionine. Translation stops when the ribosome encounters the stop or termination codon. There are three termination codons and they are so named because they do not code for any known amino acid. The termination codons are UAG, UAA and UGA.

Need help with lining up mutated DNA sequence
sergejj [24]
This particular area of genetics can be quite complex. So basically in DNA their is adenine, cytosine, guanine, thymine. So, then there is another step to this: Adenine links with Thymine (A is to T), and Cytosine pairs up with Guanine (C is to G). This is known as base pairing. However, when translating DNA to RNA their is a catch, there is no thymine in RNA. Instead there is Uracil. SO in RNA it would be like so: A is to U and C is to G. So when transcribing DNA to mRNA it would be like this. I will give an example: DNA: TGA GTC AAT GGC. However with RNA it would be like this, using the same example I just showed you: ACU CAG UUA CCG. Do you see I it now? Basically when transcribing to RNA you use the opposite of all of the original copy except use Uracil instead of Thmine.

PLESEE ANSWER!!! Hemophilia is a disease caused by a gene found on the X chromosome. Therefore, it is referred to as a sex-linke
Ugo [173]
Let H= No Hemophilia
h= Hemophilia
Now we will create the genotypes for the parents, it says that the mother is heterozygous which means she will carry the dominant and recessive allele, which would be Hh and it says the father is normal which would mean that he would be No Hemophilia dominant, so it would be HH

Cross the 2 created genotypes: Hh x HH
Now create your Punnett square using the 2 created genotypes above
H h
H HH Hh

H HH Hh

Looking at the Punnett square above, it appears that there’s a 2:2 ratio or a 50% chance of having Hemophilia and not having Hemophilia

So for a female child: 1/2 x 1/2= 1/4 of having a female with Hemophilia
The first one represents the female child having Hemophilia or not, that one can be obtained by simplifying the 2:2 ratio to a 1:1 ratio and the other one represents the chances of their child being a female. I assume that the steps above would be repeated again for the male child.


I hope that helps!

What are the two most important jobs of photosynthesis
Tomtit [17]
1. Photosynthesis is important because oxygen is released as a byproduct. We need that oxygen to survive.

2. Photosynthesis helps get rid of the carbon dioxide in the air. Carbon dioxide, as you may probably know, is necessary for this process to occur</span>

 I think the answer u are looking for is

It is near 30o latitude north or south or on the leeward side of a mountain range. Moist air is rising over the area. Night temperatures are much colder than daytime temperatures. The soil has a thick layer of decomposed, nutrient-rich organic material. There is an extremely high diversity of species in the area. There is little rainfall and frequent fires regularly cut the vegetation to the ground.
