Answer:

Explanation:

Transcription takes place in nucleus in the presence of the enzyme RNA polymerase.

During transcription, the code present in DNA gets transcribed into the code in mRNA. (messenger RNA)

RNA even though is a single stranded shows base pairing.

The pre-mRNA gets created from the DNA.

DNA has two strands, one of these strands acts as coding and another non coding strand.

The DNA shows base pairing with AGTC. [A-Adenine, G- Guanine, T-Thymine and C- Cytosine]

Whereas mRNA base pairing with AGUC. [ U- Uracil ]

Here in mRNA, instead of thymine, uracil gets paired.

According to base pairing of coding strand/sense strand of DNA, complementary bases pairs in 5'---->3' direction in mRNA.

The mRNA created looks exactly like the non-coding strand/sense strand of DNA except instead of thymine, uracil gets replaced.

The pre-RNA undergoes splicing, capping and tailing to form mature mRNA.

Which roles do enzymes play in cells

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

Enzymes help cells digest food, extract energy from food, and Increases the rate of chemical reactions.

Explanation:

They increase the rate of chemical reactions. Enzymes can be used to break things down, or to make things up. Without enzymes, reactions in a cell would slow to a halt, to a point where the cell would die.

Memory can be improved by using a variety of techniques. Describe each of the techniques listed below and explain its use throug

Aliun [14]

Answer: EDG

Explanation:

First, effortful processing is encoding that requires attention and conscious effort. This would be something like studying where you store facts in your mind for use later. Automatic processing on the other hand, is unconscious encoding of incidental information and of well-learned information. For example, I know what someone means immediately if they say it's noon. As for chunking, it is organizing items into familiar, manageable units. One perfect example would be my phone number. There are many different numbers, but its easier to manage when some are grouped together. Then there are mnemonics which are memory aids, especially those techniques that use vivid imagery and organizational devices. For example, I use the first letter technique (PEMDAS) to help me when solving math problems. Spaced or distributed practice is studying or processing with breaks to help understand concepts. For example, when I study, I take a five minute break every 20 minutes to help my brain cool down and be ready to learn more. Now, deep processing involves elaboration rehearsal which involves a more meaningful analysis. For example, giving meaning to different words or images and making them relatable.
