Where does the RNA cap go? The tail?

Biology
1 answer:
Rufina [12.5K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The post-transcriptional modifications in the mRNA produced as a result of the transcription in eukaryotes provide many advantages to the mRNA.

The two post-transcriptional modifications are the addition of  7-methylguanosine cap at 5' end of mRNA called capping whereas the addition of the poly(Adenyl) tail at 3' end called tailing.

The advantages of capping are:

1. Protection of nascent mRNA from the degradation.

2. Recognition by transcription factors helps in translation.

The advantages of tailing are:

1. Protection of the mRNA from enzymatic degradation in the cytosol.

2. Transcription termination

3. Export of the mRNA from the nucleus

Fatty acids

Explanation:

Fatty acids are the building blocks in the synthesis of lipids. Lipids are built on repeating fatty acids units.

  • Many esters occurs naturally in plants and animals.
  • Such as fats and oils, waxes, phospholipids and glycolipids.
  • These groups of compound are called lipids.
  • Fatty acids are alkanoic acids and when they combine with alkanals produce esters.
  • They are made up of the carboxylic acid functional group.

What alternate form of genes do nucleic acids have that allows them to offer variability allele codon nucleotide chromosome
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

The options to this question are:

A) allele

B) codon

C) nucleotide

D) chromosome

The answer is A) allele

Explanation:

RNA and DNA are the two nucleic acids in living organisms used for transferring and storing genetic information. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the genetic material in living organisms that contains segment coding for useful products/proteins and transmits genetic information from one generation to another. These segments are called GENES.

However, genes contain an alternate form responsible for genetic variation in the traits coded for by them. These alternate or variant form of a gene is called ALLELE. In a diploid organism like human, each trait is encoded by genes which contain contrasting pair of alleles that allows variation for that particular trait i.e. two alleles for each gene. For example, height trait in humans are encoded by gene, which possess two alleles; one coding for short variety (t) and the other for tall variety (T).

An unidentified prokaryotic cell. Thus, option "4" is correct.

<h3>What atr prokaryotes and eukaryotes?</h3>

Prokaryotes are the unicellular organisms that do not contain nucleus and membrane bound organelle in their cell. Their genetic material is present in the cytoplasm.

On the other hand, eukaryotes have true nucleus that contains the genetic material (DNA). They also contain membrane bound specialised organelles (such as mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi complex).

Thus, option "4" is correct.
