Answer:

The question lacks options, the options are:

A. testicle B. epididymis C. penis D. vas deferens

The answer is Testicles or testes

Explanation:

Testis (plural-testes) is the male reproductive organ. It is responsible for producing the male sex cell or gamete. Sperm cells are produced by the division and differentiation of germ cells (a process called spermatogenesis) located in the seminiferous tubules, which is a tube-like structure located in the testicles. The testes is responsible for secreting the hormone, TESTOSTERONE, that catalyzes this process.

This sperm cell produced are still immature. They undergo development until maturity when they travel to another region of the testes called EPIDIDYMIS. Matured sperm cells finally leave the epididymis and becomes stored in the VAS DEFERENS, from where they mix with seminal fluid to form SEMEN and released from the male's penis.

zmey [24]

Answer:

The miRNAs act as post-transcriptional silencers, as they are similar to specific mRNAs and regulate their stability and translation. They are small endogenous non-coding ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecules, with about 22 nucleotides, which act as regulators of gene expression in plants and animals, at the post-transcriptional level through the cleavage of a target messenger RNA (mRNA) or repression of translation.

In general, most miRNA genes are transcribed by RNA polymerase II in the nucleus in primary miRNAs (pri-miRNAs). Individually, a pri-miRNA can produce a single miRNA or contain groups of two or more miRNAs that are processed from a common primary transcript. These long pri-miRNA are cleaved by a complex comprising the double-stranded RNAse III enzyme (DROSHA) and its essential cofactor, the binding protein DGCR8 (DiGeorge Syndrome Critical Region 8 protein) in mammals. DROSHA contains two domains of RNAse III, each of which cleaves a strand of the RNA resulting in the precursor microRNA (pre-miRNA) with about 70 base pairs, which contains a double-stranded stretch and a single-stranded loop, forming a structure in clamp. The pre-miRNA is exported to the cytoplasm by the protein exportin-5 (XPO-5), where it is cleaved by DICER1, an RNAse III that assesses the 3 'and 5' ends of the pre-miRNA, generating a mature miRNA with about 22 nucleotides. The processing of pre-miRNA by Dicer promotes the unfolding of the RNA duplex in the form of a clamp. The position in the formation of the clamp can also influence the choice of tape.

Bumek [7]

The correct answer is option C, that is, in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast.  

Chlorophyll is situated in a clustered form in the thylakoid membrane of the organelles known as chloroplasts. Inside the thylakoid membrane, the chlorophyll molecule is enclosed by the proteins, which forms the complexes known as photosystems that mediate the light energy via the chlorophyll.
