Studying the expression of a transcription regulatory protein in two cell types, you have performed experiments showing that the

mRNA encoding the protein is present at comparable levels in the cytosol of both cell types. However, based on the expression of its target genes, you suspect that the protein activity might be significantly different in the two cell types. Which of the following steps in expression of the gene encoding this protein is more likely to be differentially controlled in these cell types?
a.Translation
b.mRNA transport
c.mRNA degradation
d.Transcription

<h2>a) option is correct </h2>

Explanation:

Since the mRNA levels are similar in both cell types, difference in protein activity can be attributed to differences in translation or in post-translational control

Translation is completed in four sequential steps: activation of amino acids (tRNA charging), initiation, elongation and termination

Eukaryotic translation is similar as prokaryotic translation but more complex due to: mRNA require preparation before translation, requirement of preparation of ribosomal small subunit require large number of initiation factors and require scanning of initiation codon

Mycoplasma pneumoniae is a bacterium that lacks a cell wall. it causes atypical pneumonia. which antibiotic would be most effect
Vitek1552 [10]

In this case, it is given that <em>Mycoplasma pneumoniae </em>lacks cell wall. some antibiotics such as penicillin works by interfering the synthesis of the cell walls. As these microbes do not have cell wall, the penicillin like antibiotics would not work.

In this case, the antibiotics, which interferes with the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) formation and replication can work. The ciproflaxin is an antibiotic, which work by inactivating the enzyme required for DNA replication in bacteria. Hence, the antibiotic ciproflaxin would be effective for treating the given condition.

According to the theory of plate tectonics, which is one feature that plates carry?
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

seafloor

Explanation:

  • A plate, often described as a lithospheric plate, with seafloor, continents and mountains on top of it.
  • The earth is divided into three layers based on their chemical composition. Undoubtedly, there is a component called the lithosphere.
  • The lithosphere consists of a crust and a portion of a solid upper mantle.
  • Below the lithosphere is the asthenosphere.
  • There are two types of crusts: the continental crust and the oceanic crust.
  • Where there is a seabed there is a sea crust.
  • Mountains are also found in oceanic and continental crusts.
  • The intercontinental layer corresponds to the continents.

4. A white albino rabbit lacks fur color. It carries the alleles rr. What is its
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

The phenotype of the rabbit is the absence of fur colour and the genotype is the alleles rr.

Explanation:

The genotype can be described as the genes which are present in an organism. Genes are made up of alleles. As the rabbit in the question carries the alleles, rr, hence it is the genotype of the white albino rabbit.

The phenotype can be described as the physical appearance that results from the particular genes present in an organism. As the white albino rabbit carries the alleles,rr, due to which it doesn't have fur, hence no fur is the phenotype of it.
