Answer:

Streptococcus

Explanation:

Coccus (plural cocci) bacteria are those that are oval or spherical in shape when viewed under a microscope. Coccus bacteria end up forming different shapes when they reproduce or multiply.

When they grow in clusters, they are referred to as Staphylococci, when in chains, they are streptococci and when they are arranged in pairs, they are diplococci. Enterococci are arranged in short chains or in pairs but usually gram positive in nature.

The correct option is streptococcus.

Answer:

<em>Streptococcus</em>

Explanation:

Bacteria can be grouped based on their physical characteristics. Cocci are spherical shaped bacteria, and based on their arrangement can be grouped as:

Diplococci: they appear in pairs

Streptococci: they appear in a chain

Staphylococci: they appear as a cluster (grape-like)

<em>Streptococcus </em>is a bacteria genus known to cause many types of diseases. They grow in pairs or chains.

Note that: staphylococci and streptococci are used denote to denote the arrangement of the cells, <em>Staphylococcus </em>and <em>Streptococcus </em>are bacteria genus. They are named so based on the shape and arrangement of their cells.

What happens to mRNA after it completes transcription?
Nana76 [90]

The correct answer is "C."

mRNA stands for messenger Ribonucleic acid.  The role of mRNA is to carry genetic information for the synthesis of protein from the nucleus after transcription.

After the transcription process is over, the mRNA leaves the nucleus and heads to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm where translation of this information takes place.

The ribosomes are the work bench of the cell. They receive the mRNA with its coded information, read it and translate it and with the help of tRNA (transfer RNA), amino acids are fetched from the cytoplasm and linked together to form the exact protein that was coded for on the mRNA.
