The ends of the linear chromosomes of eukaryotes cannot be replicated by DNA polymerase. This problem is overcome through the us

e of telomerase, an enzyme implicated in aging and cell lifespan. Telomerase contains a noncoding RNA that acts as a moving template to add a repetitive DNA sequence at the chromosome tip, preventing the loss of essential DNA. In mammals, the ends of the chromosomes fold back to form a circular structure called a T‑loop.
Select the answers that correctly describe telomeres and the actions of telomerase.

a) Telomerase is a specialized reverse transcriptase and its presence within eukaryotic cells indicates that an early eukaryote was infected by a retrovirus.
b) Inappropriate activation of telomerase can result in cellular immortality, one of the cellular changes implicated in the development of cancer.
c) Telomerase activity is turned off in most human cells, causing the telomeres to gradually shorten as the individual ages.
d) The T-loop protects the chromosome ends from degradation by nucleases and double-strand break repair enzymes.
e) Telomerase activity results in a telomere that is completely double-stranded with no single-stranded region that would be susceptible to nucleases.

Answer:

Option A, B, C, D and E

Explanation:

The first option indicates an early retroviral colonization of large double-stranded DNA viruses, which are the presumed ancestors of the eukaryotic nucleus; and then inappropriate activation of the telomerase can be implicated in the development of cancer by continous elongation of the telomere length without control.

Its activity can also be turned off leading to continuous shortening during replication and bringing about senesence and aging. the T-loops formed by the activity of the telomerase protects the ends of the chromosomes from being recognized as being broken and degradation.

Is it possible to find the same gene in two different kinds of organisms but not find the protein that is produced from that gen
Bingel [31]
Yes, quite frankly it is possible to find a same gene if you're in the same class of species, but finding the protein....I believe that's impossible because in every type of gene, you have the same proteins that make you function the same way. Without them you wouldn't be able to function properly.

If I found the same gene in all organisms that I've tested, I would be intrigued because that would be a giant step in evolution. My reason for this answer is because if you have the same gene that would technically mean we all specifically came from the same species of animals.

No, that's not true because other characteristics would eventually help us in many things, studies would help us get our brain much stronger and the intelligence level would be extraordinary.

Eukartyotic cell are more complex than prokaryotic cell
Elis [28]

Answer:

Eukaryotic cells are generally larger and more complex than prokaryotic cells. They also contain a variety of cellular bodies called organelles. The organelles function in the activities of the cell and are compartments for localizing metabolic function.

Why is important for scientists to remain open minded about information they come across in their experiments
Lina20 [59]
It is important for scientists to remain open minded about information that they come across in their experiments, so that they do not become biased about the result. it can always happen that the results that come out are contrary to what the scientist expected. It is important to openly accept that the scientists prediction was wrong.
