Biology

Charra [1.4K]3 years ago
7 0

Today’s food consumption (includes high consumption of pork) had led to an increase in the omega-6 (n-6) to omega-3 (n-3) fatty acid ratio in humans. This imbalance in the fatty acids ratio has been associated with diseases such as cardiovascular and inflammatory diseases, diabetes and autoimmune disorders. So, scientist “created” transgenic pigs that produce omega-3 fatty acids, in order to improve heart function and help reduce the risks for heart disease.

Where does the protien-building begin? A. enzyme B. cytoskeleton C. DNA D. cell membrane
galben [10]

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Protein building begins on the DNA strand. Usually, the DNA contains genetic information which flows from nucleic acids to proteins in a series of steps:

1) Replication: this is the first step. It involves the copying of parental DNA into daughter copies.

2) Transcription: this is the second step. Here, parts of the coded genetic message in DNA are copied precisely in the form of RNA - in the form of messenger RNA (mRNA).

3) Translation: this is the third step. Here, genetic message coded in mRNA is translated, on the ribosomes, into a protein with a specific sequence of amino acids.

Simply put, DNA makes RNA, and RNA makes protein.
