Answer:
The post-transcriptional modifications in the mRNA produced as a result of the transcription in eukaryotes provide many advantages to the mRNA.
The two post-transcriptional modifications are the addition of 7-methylguanosine cap at 5' end of mRNA called capping whereas the addition of the poly(Adenyl) tail at 3' end called tailing.
The advantages of capping are:
1. Protection of nascent mRNA from the degradation.
2. Recognition by transcription factors helps in translation.
The advantages of tailing are:
1. Protection of the mRNA from enzymatic degradation in the cytosol.
2. Transcription termination
3. Export of the mRNA from the nucleus
During fertilization, the encounter of gametes results in the fusion of their nuclei. The nucleus of the egg cell thus formed is therefore a mixture of the two nuclei.
So the parent will only give half of his chromosomes, so the child will have 50% of his chromosomes that resemble each of his parents.
Another factor that must be mentioned is the genetic recombination between the chromosomes that occurs during meiosis of the reproductive cells. Thus, this will give a heterogeneous chromosome resulting from recombination of the two chromosomes of each of its parents, and the child will have a unique combination chromosome but keeping the alleles of both parents.
Answer:
gravitational potential energy
The skier possesses gravitational potential energy at the top of a slope, which transforms into kinetic energy as he moves down the slope.
