Dioxin, produced as a by-product of various industrial chemical processes, is suspected of contributing to the development of ca

ncer and birth defects in animals and humans. It apparently acts by entering cells by simple diffusion and binding to proteins in the cytoplasm, then altering the pattern of gene expression. What is likely to be the cytoplasmic proteins to which dioxin binds?

Answer: Transcription factors

Explanation:  

The dioxin enters the blood stream and the fat cells and liver cells store it.

While moving inside the cell the dioxin binds to the protein called Aryl hydrocarbon which then binds to the second receptor.  

The complex is then carried to the nucleus of the cell. This tends to on and off certain genes.

This turning on and off of the genes in the cell can lead to serious diseases like cancer, decreased immune function, et cetera.

Which of the processes are coupled (i.e. LINKED) in prokaryotic organisms but uncoupled (i.e. UNLINKED) in eukaryotic organisms?
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

Transcription & translation (Ans. A)

Explanation:

Prokaryotic organisms do not have membrane-bound organelles such as the nucleus, thus the process of transcription & translation occurs in the cytoplasm. Also because of the need for rapid life cycle, the mRNA molecules start to be made, & their ribosomes are ready to start making proteins more rapidly than Eukaryote, thus the process of the couple is quicker.

In eukaryotic organisms, transcription process start (happens) inside the nucleus of the cell and translation process can't start until the mRNA is transported out from the nucleus into the cytoplasm.

The substance used to separate the proteins from the dna
Genrish500 [490]

DNA is deoxyribonucleic acid, which is insoluble in ethanol. In the process of centrifugation the addition of ethanol can aid to separate protein from its DNA.

<h3>What is centrifugation?</h3>

Centrifugation is a process of separating different molecules in a given sample that have different densities by rotating them in solution around an axis at high speed.

It is the frequently applied techniques in the molecular biology laboratory.

The addition of alcohol or ethanol to the sample followed by centrifugation can separate the proteins from its DNA.

Thus, the substance used to separate the proteins from the DNA is alcohol or ethanol.
