Answer:B6 and B12.

Explanation:

Homocysteine is an amino acid produced from demethylation of methionine.The later is an amino acid needed in the body which must be conserved.

In order to conserve it ,Homocysteine is recycled in a specific pathways which inovles activities of Vitamin B6 and B12

.Therefore deficiency of these vitamins leads to elevated levels of Homocysteine.

HIGH LEVELS OF HOMOCYSTEINE AFFECT THE ENDOTHELIAL CELLS ;LEADING TO ABNORMAL CLOTTING OF BLOOD.THIS INCREASE IN BLOOD VISCOSITY PUT THE HEART AT RISK OF CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES.

Answer:

Folic acid(Vitamin B9) and vitamins B12

Explanation:

To convert homocysteine into methionine, folic acid(Vitamin B9) and vitamins B6 and B12 is required.

A deficiency in these vitamins can elevate homocysteine levels which affects the endothelial cells, causes

abnormal clotting and higher CVD risks.

A higher homocysteine level is associated with an increase in ischemic heart disease.

It is noted that a dose of 0.4 to 1 mg of folic acid with vitamins B12 and B6, lowers serum homocysteine levels.

During the process of translation in a eukaryote messenger RNA is spliced in the nucleus. amino acids are synthesized by RNA pol
svetlana [45]

Answer:

mRNA interacts with ribosomes in the cytoplasm.

Explanation:

<em>The correct option would be that mRNA interacts with ribosomes in the cytoplasm.</em>

Translation involves the use of genetic codes in mRNA to synthesize amino acids that are eventually linked together by polypeptide bonds to form proteins.

<u>During translation, the mRNA synthesized in the nucleus is transported into the cytoplasm where it gets attached to the ribosome and another RNA - the tRNA. The codons on the mRNA eventually match with the anticodon of the tRNA with the later releasing the amino acid that corresponds to each codon</u>.

Hence, the correct answer out of all the options is that mRNA interacts with ribosomes in the cytoplasm.
