Why do leaves change color in the fall?

Biology
1 answer:
AveGali [126]3 years ago
6 0

The correct answer is D. They stop making chlorophyll

Explanation:

The regular green color in leaves is mainly the result of chlorophyll, which is essential for photosynthesis. This substance stops being produced by plants during the fall, and this causes leaves to lose their characteristic color. Additionally, this process is the result of shorter days, and therefore fewer daylight hours, which reduces or stops the production of chlorophyll. At the same time, the carotenoids which are red, yellow, and orange pigments begin to be visible. Thus, the reason leaves change color in the fall is that they stop making chlorophyll.

I need to perform RNA transcription and translation on this strand of DNA, given that the mRNA is the opposite of this DNA stran
Anarel [89]
Well, basically when it says that the strand of mRNA is the opposite to DNA it means that the nitrogenous bases of DNA complement or follow base pairing rules to form the strand of mRNA.

In mRNA
A - U
G - C
T - thymine is absent and is replaced with U - uracil in mRNA.
The thymine bases in DNA are base paired with A - adenine in the mRNA strand.

So the mRNA strand would be the following :

AUGUGGGCUACGCGAGCUUCAUACGAUCUAGCUACGCAGUGGCAGCAGGCAUCACAUCGAUCGCAUUAG.

So, now that we know that this is the mRNA strand, and assuming that the top or the first part is the 5' region and the final end of the mRNA is the 3' region

Group three 3 nucleotides together in the mRNA strand and find the amino acid that the first 3 would represent in this case AUG would represent the start codon or methionine in this case it would be the start, the next would be UGG, etc, do this until you reach the final set of 3 nucleotides and the final product would be a protein consisting of whatever other amino acids were represented by the codon or 1 set of 3 nucleotides on the mRNA strand.

How are the plants in a specific environment be impacted if there was a sudden drop in amount of bacteria present in that area?
Rainbow [258]
I think this information may be help you
The plants in a specific environment be impacted if there was a sudden drop in the amount of bacteria present in that area, there are positive and negative consequences associated with this situation.

Positive:

The decrease in bacterial colonization will prevent the plant from the diseases caused by the bacteria and this will promote plant growth. Like, black rot in Brassica caused by Xanthomonas campestris, bacterial canker in tomato, capsicum and chilli caused by Clavibacter michiganesis.

Negative:

Plants remains in symbiotic relationship with bacteria in order to obtain impermeable inorganic minerals from the soil. In the absence of bacteria, the plants will not receive these nutrients, and their growth may be hampered. Example bacteria fixes atmospheric nitrogen which is taken up by the root nodules of leguminous plants. In return these bacteria gets the food like carbohydrates produce by the plants
