Howard is explaining the process by which DNA determines the structure of proteins. His explanation includes this statement. "Th

e base pair sequence of a gene determines the sequence of amino acids in a protein." Howard's teacher evaluates this statement, and her critique is that the statement is not accurate in all circumstances. Which feature of gene expression provides the strongest evidence for the teacher's critique?

Answer:

Transcription and RNA processing (splicing)

Explanation:

Although Howard is almost right, the DNA sequence does not precisely relate to the protein sequence. First of all, the DNA is transcribed to an primary mRNA molecule. Bur before the mRNA is ready to be translated into an amino acid sequence, it must be processed into a mature mRNA.

This includes adding a 3' poly A tail, and a 5' cap, and importantly for this question, splicing.

Splicing is the removal of non protein coding intermediate sequences called introns from the protein coding regions (exons) of a primary mRNA. This means that lots of the DNA sequence is not dictated by the final protein, as many of the intervening sequences have been removed by splicing.

In the oldest fossils found in Bitter Springs (Cyanobacteria), why can we only find the remains of single celled organisms
Mrac [35]

Answer:

Due to presence at early days of the planet.

Explanation:

We only find the remains of single celled organisms in the oldest fossils because the single celled organisms are the organisms that were present in the early days of this planet. These single celled microbes were present about 3.7 billion years ago while on the other hand, the oldest rocks are only a little older i. e. 3.8 billion years so these single celled organisms are considered as oldest fossils on this planet.

Does commensalism involve abiotic factors or biotic factors ? ​
monitta

Answer:

Commensalism only occur among biotic factors

Explanation:

Abiotic factors are non-living factors that interacts with the biotic factor within an ecosystem. Commensalism is an association between two organisms in which one benefits and the other derives neither benefit nor harm.

From the above definition of commensalism, it is clear to note that it only involves two organisms rather than non-living organisms, hence; commensalism involves only biotic factors
