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.

The human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) that causes the disease known as aids selectively infects ________ cells.
Furkat [3]

The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) that causes the disease known as aids selectively infects helper T cells (CD4+).

This retrovirus also infects macrophages and dendritic cells. When CD4+ T cell numbers decrease below a critical level (due to the killing of this cells with different mechanisms), cell-mediated immunity is lost. As a result, the body becomes progressively more susceptible to infections, leading to the development of AIDS.

<span> HIV can be transmitted only via body fluids like blood, semen, pre-seminal fluid, rectal fluids, vaginal fluids, and breast milk, which means that people usually get or transmit HIV through sexual behaviours and use of the needle. For HIV infection, these fluids must come in direct contact with a mucous membrane or damaged tissue. Another way is to be directly injected into the bloodstream (from a needle for example).</span>

How does the salinity in water change as you move from inland areas out towards to ocean? Be sure to include the phrase "brackis
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

The salinity of water increases as you move from inland areas out towards to ocean.

Explanation:

Salinity refers to the concentration of salt in the water. The salinity of water increases as you move from inland areas out towards to ocean because the ocean has high salinity than the inland areas. That is it can be said that the ocean contains brackish water. Brackish water has more concentration of salt than freshwater.

matrenka [14]
Assuming this is supposed to be a multiple choice question- I think the correct answer would be “early onset of spring change in marine ecosystems” because it looks like the question is asking what it wouldn’t affect, and I’m sure if the people had to leave, that animals would’ve all had to leave as well!

Scorpion cells undergo aerobic respiration, during aerobic respiration oxygen is used, and ATP is created.

During aerobic cellular respiration, glucose is absorbed with oxygen to form ATP, which can be used by cells. Carbon dioxide and air are formed as by-products. The overall extension to aerobic cellular respiration is: During cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen form ATP.

This process takes place in the mitochondria. So respiration occurs in animals and plants because both have mitochondria.

Aerobic respiration is respiration that requires oxygen while anaerobic respiration is respiration that does not require oxygen. Aerobic respiration consists of several stages, namely: glycolysis, oxidative decarboxylation, Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain which have been discussed in the previous material.
