How would a mistake in transcribing the DNA message affect your ability to catch the killer?

Biology
1 answer:
mel-nik [20]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: When the DNA collected on the crime scene is being analysed in the forensic lab, the results will be inconclusive, because error in DNA transcription, particularly in mRNA encoding leads to inheritable phenotype change by reprogramming the transcriptional network, without changing the DNA. Transcription errors are brief with no long-term consequences. Due to mRNA being short-lived and the erroneous proteins are degraded. A decrease in transcription accuracy triggers cellular identity change.

Explanation: This is called epimutation, a heritable modification that results in the change of gene expression, but not the DNA sequence. Epimutation is not associated with DNA mutation, but is associated with the loss or gain of DNA methylation or other heritable changes of the chromatin.

How do enzymes act as catalysts to help maintain homeostasis for the cell.
Alenkasestr [34]
Enzymes are the things in our bodies that facilitates reactions.  They break down bonds in carbohydrates, lipids and proteins.  When the food is being broken down, it is easier for the body to use.  When the body is conducting cellular respiration, it uses monosaccharides (singular carbohydrate), to form ATP which is useable energy for the body.  The body uses ATP everywhere for all bodily functions, which maintains homeostasis. <span />

Explain how the life cycle of desert wildflowers helps them survive in the desert
aleksandr82 [10.1K]
To survive, desert plants have adapted to the extremes of heat and aridity by using both physical and behavioral mechanisms, much like desert animals. Plants that have adapted by altering their physical structure are called xerophytes. Xerophytes, such as cacti, usually have special means of storing and conserving water. They often have few or no leaves, which reduces transpiration.
