Answer:
True statements about transcription:
- Occurs in the nucleus
- Produces single-stranded mRNA using the antisense DNA strand as a template
- Precedes 5' capping and polyadenylation.
Explanation:
Transcription is the process by which a specific fragment of DNA (e.g., a gene) is used as template to synthesize a complementary RNA sequence, usually a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule, which is then used to synthesize a protein in the ribosomes by a process called 'translation'. In eukaryotic cells, transcription occurs within the cell nucleus which contains the genetic material of the cell. Transcription factors are proteins that bind to DNA regulatory elements (e.g., promoter sequences) located at the 5′ end of the transcription initiation site and thus stimulate transcription. Both mRNA capping (5' cap) and polyadenylation are post-transcriptional modifications that serve to protect the nascent mRNA from enzymatic degradation and help in ribosome binding during translation.
Answer:
C
Explanation: Proteases are the enzymes that break down proteins because of the shape it has (its Proteases but im bad at explaining xD sorry)
The answer to your question is D) punctuated equilibrium.
The theory of Punctuated Equilibrium states that extremes in the environment cause sudden evolution; a long period of time precedes the sudden evolutionary changes.
Answer:
Root hair cell cytoplasm // Soil water
Explanation:
Water moves through the xylem vessels in a continuous transpiration stream:
root → stem → leaf
Transpiration produces a tension or ‘pull’ on the water in the xylem vessels by the leaves. Water molecules are cohesive so water is pulled up through the plant.
The transpiration stream has several functions. These include:
transporting mineral ions
providing water to keep cells turgid in order to support the plant
providing water to leaf cells for photosynthesis
keeping the leaves cool by evaporation
Root hair cells
The root hairs are where most water absorption happens. They are long and thin so they can penetrate between soil particles, and they have a large surface area for absorption of water.
Water passes from the soil water to the root hair cell’s cytoplasm by osmosis. This happens because the soil water has a higher water potential than the root hair cell cytoplasm:
Solution Water potential Concentration of dissolved solutes
Soil water High Low
Root hair cell cytoplasm Low High
Osmosis causes water to pass into the root hair cells, through the root cortex and into the xylem vessels
Answer: The slope of the line that passes through the points (-4, -4) and (4,8) is 3/2
