Length of PolyA tail is different in two cells

Explanation:

  • Different lengths of Poly A tails are present for different mRNAs so when we compare two peptides translated in two different cells we have different lengths of PolyA tail
  • PolyA tail is basically a long chain of nucleotides(adenine nucleotides) which are added to messenger RNA(mRNA) during processing of RNA
  • It increases the stability of the molecule
  • It protects the mRNA molecule from undergoing degradation in the cytoplasm
  • It is involved in binding proteins which further initiates translation;introns are removed from pre mRNA before the final mRNA is exported into cytoplasm

Mrac [35]

Answer and Explanation:

a. According to Lamarck, the origin of the long hind legs of the Ord's kangaroo rat is acquired due to extensive use of the muscle legs to jump. Such physical characteristics could be transmitted to future generations. This theory is called Neo-Lamarckism.

b. Darwin, on the other hand, theorized that in a population of Ord's kangaroo rat, there was an individual whose characteristics, long tail and hind legs, had more chances of escaping its predator and, consequently, could survive and reproduce. This theory is called Darwinism.

What are some positive effects humans can have on nitrogen cycle
inn [45]

Answer:

Scientists have determined that humans are disrupting the nitrogen cycle by altering the amount of nitrogen that is stored in the biosphere. The chief culprit is fossil fuel combustion, which releases nitric oxides into the air that combine with other elements to form smog and acid rain.
