Why is carbon important

1 answer:

8 0

It also plays a key role in shaping organic molecules. Carbon is very important to the chemistry of living things, mainly because of the versatility of structures it can form with itself and with other atoms

A human gene can possibly correct a defective gene in a yeast cell because ____________

ehidna [41]

This is a very good question and the answer to it is option A. The common core set of genes is very similar between all organisms.

This is true because several facts, for example, all living beings on earth share the same gene code: DNA, all of them are based on DNA or RNA, which humans have it too. This was explained by Darwin's evolution theory, we are all descendants of just one single species, and because of that, all species have something in common between them.

That's why there's a possibility that a human gene can correct a defective gene in a yeast cell. Although this could really happen, we are not sure about it, it's a possibility, don't always be sure of something in biology, there's always more to understand and to learn.

TRBP is a protein important for the formation of the RISC complex. Which of the following would you expect in cells with null mu

Komok [63]

Answer:

a. Reduced siRNA-mediated mRNA degradation

Explanation:

The TRBP (transactivation response element RNA-binding protein) is an RNA-binding protein that forms the Dicer complex, which is involved in epigenetic pathways such as those mediated by the RNA interference (RNAi) mechanism. RNAi is a key process where small non-coding RNAs such as, for example, small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) can inhibit target gene expression at posttranscriptional level by different mechanisms (including the degradation of target mRNAs). A null mutation of this cofactor will alter the Dicer complex, thereby also affecting RNAi pathways mediated by small interfering RNAs.

If the moon were to suddenly disappear, which of the following would be a likely result? (Select all that apply)

solniwko [45]

Answer:

A. Fishing for sea life that lives on or near the shore would be more difficult.

C. The California Grunion fish would have a hard time laying eggs.

Explanation:

The moon is an important aspect of Earth's existence. It influences the change of "ocean tides" (high tide and low tide). If the moon were to suddenly disappear it will present a number of problems.

Firstly, the tides would all remain the same (small tides). They would also be smaller than the usual tide in the world today. Since the tide will be lower than usual, the marine organisms will not survive living on or near the shore anymore. This will make fishing for sea life in these areas more difficult.

The "California Grunion fish" normally lays its eggs along the coastal areas, which is out of the water. If the tide will be lower than usual, then they will have a hard time going to the coastlines for laying eggs.

So, this explains the answers.
