Answer:
A
Explanation:
There are different mechanisms for transport of molecules across the cell membrane. One kind of this transport is facilitated diffusion, this is a form of passive transport, not requiring any ATP (the opposite would be active transport, where it does require ATP.
Simple diffusion does require special transport proteins, and neither does osmosis. Filtration is a technique used for sterilisation of water, where any impurities can be drawn out of the liquid
Answer:
A. A genetically engineered crop that is resistant to insect pests could also harm helpful insects.
B. Crops can be genetically engineered to have useful traits that are not found in wild populations,
Explanation:
1. The correct answer is: a. There are more mRNA bases than amino acids.
The transcription of monocistronic mRNA in prokaryotes is a rare process (it is more characteristic for the eukaryotes). Monocistronic mRNA is RNA, which encodes for only one or specific protein. Three bases of mRNA encode one amino acid of protein, thus it has more bases than amino acids of the final product, protein.
2. The correct statements are:
The mRNA contains 5' and 3' untranslated regions.
The stop codon does not code for an amino acid.
The start site of transcription is upstream of the start codon.
Each codon contains 3 RNA bases.
All of these approve that more bases are in mRNA since not all of them are translated into amin oacids.
Other statements are hallmarks of eukaryotic RNA processing, and therefore not relevant to prokaryotes.
Homologous genes carry the same sequence of genes for the same traits. They don't always have the same alleles, though.
Hope it helps!
