Which type of RNA functions as a carrier of the genetic code?

gayaneshka [121]

All forms of RNA are intermediate molecules that are fabricated within DNA to perform cellular functions.

mRNA - messenger RNA carries selected portions of DNA used to fabricate polypeptides used to fabricate amino acids for protein.

tRNA - transfer RNA is comprised of select genetic code and transfers amino acids to ribosomes for assembly

rRNA - ribosomal RNA is comprised of select genetic code and makes the ribosomes

RNA is highly mutatable, highly reactive, non-reproductive, and highly specialized metabolically, and consequently totally unsuitable for consideration of any pre-DNA senario being posited for the origin of life.

Sarah recently learned that O2 is found in the Earth’s water bodies. She was amazed to know the proportion of O2 found in the oc

Mamont248 [21]

It has been found that the rainforests are accountable for about one-third, that is, 28 percent of the oxygen of the Earth, however, the majority of the oxygen, that is, about 70 percent in the atmosphere is generated by the marine plants. The left-over two percent of the oxygen comes from other sources.

The majority of the oxygen comes from the tiny plants in the ocean known as phytoplankton, which lives near the surface of the water and drifts with the currents. Similarly to plants, they perform the process of photosynthesis, that is, they utilize carbon dioxide and sunlight to prepare food, oxygen is the by-product of photosynthesis.

However, the concentration of the dissolved oxygen, which the water can hold relies on the salinity and temperature of the water. The cold water can withhold more oxygen in comparison to warm water and fresh water can hold more oxygen in comparison to salt water. So, the warmer and saltier the water is, the less will be the oxygen dissolved in it.

Answer:

Net photosynthesis- 3mm/20min- 1.5mm/10min

Cellular respiration- 1mm/15min- 0.66mm/10min

Gross photosynthesis = Net photosynthesis + Cellular respiration = 1.5+0.66 = 2.16 (mm/10min)

Rate of photosynthesis = (gross photosynthesis)6 = 2.16 *6 = 12.96 mm/hr

As we are measuring rate of photosynthesis in hr ,we should multiply gross photosynthesis with 6 (as we measured gross photosynthesis for 10 min).
