Answer:

Bacteria are single-celled organisms that live in different environments, including cold and hot, and they can also live on or inside the human body.

Most types of bacteria are harmless, on the contrary, they help in the process of digesting food, attacking other microbes and fighting cancer cells, and less than 1% of bacteria are bacteria that cause diseases.

As for viruses, they are very small organisms, smaller than bacteria, consisting of DNA and a protein that coat them, and unlike bacteria, a virus does not reproduce without its presence in the cells of living organisms.

VikaD [51]

Answer:

<em>Translation will be affected.</em>

Explanation:

Ribosomes are the sites where the process of translation errors. Translation can be described as the process by which mRNA is converted into the amino acids which make up specific proteins of the body. If a mutation in the genes that code for proteins of the ribosome occurs, then the process of translation will be affected. Faulty proteins may be formed as a result of this mutation which can be harmful for the body.

Imagine you are a student trying to decode the genetic code. An artificial mRNA molecule consisting of poly-CA (5ʹ... CACACACACA
Semmy [17]

Answer:

ACA: Threonine

CAC: Histidine

Explanation:

To answer this question we need to remember that the ribosome reads every three bases or 'codon' in order to assign the right tRNA carrying the amino acid.

In the first artificial mRNA we see two patterns of three letter:

CAC and ACA.

In the second artificial mRNA we are able to identify three different patterns:

CAA

AAC

ACA

And they repeat, so we end with three different polypeptides: polythreonine, polyglutamine and polyasparagine. This will depend on the initial letter the ribosome starts reading.

The only amino acid that repeats in both artificial mRNAs is Threonine,  and we see its pattern ACA also repeated.

So, we could assign this codon (ACA) to threonine.

We can then assume that the pattern CAC codifies for histidine since we only get this two polypeptides in the first mRNA.

Lastly with the information provided we cannot determine the codons AAC and CAA for glutamine or asparagine. We would need further experiments.

Protective membranous coverings that lie between bony coverings and the soft tissues of the cns are called?
rosijanka [135]

Protective membranous coverings that lie between bony coverings and the soft tissues of the cns are called the <u>meninges</u>

<h3>What are the brain meninges?</h3>

The brain meninges are the three protective membranous thin layers of tissue that cover and protect the brain and spinal cord of the nervous system. These meninges are:

  • The dura mater
  • Arachnoid mater
  • Pia mater

So therefore, the protective membranous coverings that lie between bony coverings and the soft tissues of the cns are called the meninges
