Atoms gain electrons to form anions.

Atoms lose electrons to form cations.

Back in middle school, my chemistry teacher taught me a good way to remember whether an ion was a cation or an anion. When an atom loses an electron, it becomes positive, and when an atom gains an electron, it becomes negative.

Cation sort of sounds like “cat,” which is positive (Yay! Cats!).

Anions, on the other hand, sounds like “onion,” which is negative (Ew! Onions!).

There’s other ways of memorizing it, but this way was the easiest for me.

Human cells spend most of their time in interphase, where they do not divide. In interphase, a cell may grow, obtain and nutrients and metabolize them, read DNA, etc.

When two genes from two different people are sequenced and aligned, it is discovered that there are multiple sequence difference

REY [17]

Answer:

The best answer to the question: What is the most likely explanation for this observation, would be, B: RNA processing removes the different segments from the mRNA molecules of each person prior to translation.

Explanation:

In order for cells to work, they depend on one of the four major macromolecules; proteins. These proteins are the messengers that carry out genetic commands from the DNA and they will ensure that all processes, including transcription and translation of new proteins, are carried out correctly. In order to produce proteins, the first step is for the DNA to be transcribed into mRNA, a nucleic acid that carries out the information on the DNA for protein generation. Once transcription stops, mRNA undergoes a series of clipping and reorganizing steps that will ensure that when it is decoded for protein formation, the process will be successful. These control steps are all part of the RNA processing mechanism that enures mRNA will successfully be translated into working proteins.

The reason why from genes of different people, a very similiar protein chain may result, is also explained from the fact that codons (a grouping of three nucleotides present in mRNA), when read by ribosomes, and coupled by tRNA, can pair these codons with similar amino acids. Thus, one codon, or similar codons, may code for a singular amino acid. However, mechanisms in the cells prevent these kinds of anomalies, by repairing the mRNA sequence before it is translated into protein.

Answer:

A. Cell

B. Organ

C. Tissue

Explanation:

cell: The smallest unit of life capable of independent reproduction. Generally contains nucleic acid, cytoplasm, a cell membrane, and many other proteins and structures.

organ: A structure made of different tissues that work together to perform physiological functions.

Tissues: A group of similar cells with the same origin that work together to perform the same function.
