Describe Marshall Nirenberg's contribution to determining the role of RNA in genetics.

Biology

Leokris [45]3 years ago

In 1959, he demonstrated that mRNA is significant in protein synthesis. By contributing to the central dogma, he showed that just like DNA, mRNA can be used to determine the genetic code. His experiment involved a cell whose DNA was denatured but injected with mRNA and showed that protein synthesis proceeded.

Marshall Nirenberg discovered the first triplet i.e “ sequence of three bases of DNA” . These triplets codes for the 21 amino acids which are the building blocks of protein. While conducting experiment with  Johann Matthaei using test-tube techniques, they set up a “cell free system” and from ruptured E.coli which was exposed to radioactive RNA, they synthesized “Poly U” RNA which was entirely made of Uracil base.

The broadest areas of the plant that absorb the most sunlight are the:
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

Leaves

Explanation:

Plants grow broad leaves to absorb sunlight. This is extremely helpful because this helps plants make food through photosynthesis. Roots don't absorb sunlight. They absorb water and nutrients from the soil and carry it up through the stems. The stems then transports the nutrients throughout the plant.

Genetic dominant means and why it makes a difference in crossbreeding animal
Dovator [93]
Genetically dominant means that the trait will always be dominant to the genetically recessive trait as long as the allele for that trait is present. 

Let's say you have an R allele that codes for a brown coat and an r allele that codes for a white coat. Say the R allele is genetically dominant to the r allele. 

If you have an animal with the genotype RR or Rr, it will show a brown coat because the genetically dominant R allele is present.

Only if the animal as a rr genotype will the white coat show because the genetically dominant R allele isn't present.

When you crossbreed, genetic dominance can be important because it can increase the chances you'll have more diverse offspring with increased chance of survival since the dominant traits, if favorable, will always show for a trait.
