Gene expression—translation how do cells synthesize polypeptides and convert them to functional proteins?

1 answer:

3 0

The language of DNA in form of nitrogen bases read in a set of three termed as codons and it is being translated as language of proteins.

First mRNA is read according to the genetic code which can relate the amino acid sequence to proteins. mRNA can be use as the template to assemble in order the chain of amino acid. Translation starts when the mRNA is decoded and the sequence is elongated until creating an amino acid sequence. Once the stop codon is reached, translation will be stopped and ribosome will release the polypeptide.

Which ecosystem service would suffer from the opening of a mineral mine along a small mountain range?

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

D. Supporting

Explanation:

Ecosystem services include provisioning, regulating, culture and supporting services.

Opening of a mineral mine along a small mountain range will affect the supporting services of ecosystem because supporting services deals with soil formation, provision of habitat and nutrition cycle.

Opening of mineral mine will destroy the tosoil, landscape, forests and wildlife of mountain area which affect the supporting services such as habitat and soil formation.

Hence, the correct answer is "D. supporting".

A polysome is ____. a. the complex that adds a poly(A) tail onto an mRNA b. an mRNA transcript to which multiple ribosomes

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:b. an mRNA transcript to which multiple ribosomes are attached

Explanation: polysome consist of mRNA complex and two or more ribosome coming together to translate mRNA into a polypetide or amino acid. It helps produce many polypeptide from a single mRNA.

Different ribosomes bind to the mRNA at different time elongating the polypeptide chain. We have the free( non-poly A ) and memberane bound (poly A) polysome.
