What is the significance of understanding changes to the information stored in DNA?

Biology

Otrada [13]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

DNA is essentially a storage molecule. It contains all of the instructions a cell needs to sustain itself. These instructions are found within genes, which are sections of DNA made up of specific sequences of nucleotides. In order to be implemented, the instructions contained within genes must be expressed, or copied into a form that can be used by cells to produce the proteins needed to support life.

The instructions stored within DNA are read and processed by a cell in two steps: transcription and translation. Each of these steps is a separate biochemical process involving multiple molecules. During transcription, a portion of the cell's DNA serves as a template for creation of an RNA molecule. (RNA, or ribonucleic acid, is chemically similar to DNA, except for three main differences described later on in this concept page.) In some cases, the newly created RNA molecule is itself a finished product, and it serves an important function within the cell. In other cases, the RNA molecule carries messages from the DNA to other parts of the cell for processing. Most often, this information is used to manufacture proteins. The specific type of RNA that carries the information stored in DNA to other areas of the cell is called messenger RNA, or mRNA

A fetus develops in such a way that the type II cells of the lungs never develop, resulting in no production of surfactant in th
g100num [7]

Due to the high surface tension, the lungs remain crushed and you will not be able to breathe first.

During fertilization, the sperm and egg combine in one of the fallopian tubes to form a zygote. The zygote then descends the fallopian tube into a morula. Upon reaching the uterus, the morula becomes a blastocyst. The blastocyst then burrows into the inner wall of the uterus. This is a process called implantation.

The prenatal development process occurs in three major stages. The first two weeks after conception are called the germination period, the third to eighth weeks are called the fetal period, and the period from the ninth week to birth is called the fetal period.

Do we use fusion in real life? Why or why not?
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

Yes..? Kind of.

Explanation:

Fusion is the combination of lighter nuclei into heavier nuclei. Yes, this is seen in nature; the sun. The sun is an example of fusion. However, on earth, no. To fuse 2 nuclei, you need extreme temperature and extreme pressure to fuse them together because the nuclei are the same charges. So, yes, but not really?

What is the name of the theoretical maximum rate of population growth.A. SpeculativeB. LogisticC. FactorialD. Exponential
Sati [7]

Answer: D. Exponential

Explanation:

The exponential growth occurs when the resources are unlimited to the population of the species. The population grows rapidly at a constant rate. Thus the population size increases over concerned period of time. When the resources become limited the growth collapses this is called as logistic growth.

The exponential growth can be shown by the J-shaped curve.
