Answer

3,1,2,4

Explanation:

Through the mechanism of RNA interference (RNAi), short RNAs can inhibit gene  expression. RNAi can function at transcriptional level, translational level, and mRNA stability.

RNAi mechanism has numerous biological functions; it can affect development, for instance  in the worm C. elegans, or it can be utilized by plants to evade viral infection.

These short RNAs (abt 23 bp long) also known as siRNAs (short interfering RNAs) are  products of long dsRNAs which are cleaved by nuclease Dicer. The siRNAs regulate a  nuclease complex called RISC (RN-induced silencing complex) leading to repression of gene  expression via three distinct ways;

a) Destroy mRNAs that have complementary sequence with the siRNA

.

b) Inhibit translation of mRNAs that have complementary sequence with the siRNA.

c) Induce chromatin modification within the promoter of these homologous (complementary)  genes, thus silencing them.

summary of 2 main parts of photosynthesis (light-dependent reactions and light-independent reactions/Calvin Cycle). Be sure to e
Alex_Xolod [135]

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a process taking place in the green plants which are involved in the formation of the glucose molecule using Carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight.

The process of photosynthesis takes place in two phases:

1. Light-dependent phase

2. Light independent phase

<u>Light-dependent phase </u>

Light-dependent phase takes place in the thylakoid membrane where the Photosystem I and II are present.

The photosystem II absorbs the sunlight of 680 nm wavelength which excites the electron of the chlorophyll. The electron moves in the photosystem and through the reaction center-exit the photosystem and enters the electron transport chain.

The electron is then transferred via the electron carriers like plastoquinone, cytochrome, and plastocyanin and is transferred to photosystem I which absorbs the light at 700 nm. From here the electron is taken by ferrodoxin and form NADH.

The electron then reaches the ATP synthase and forms the ATP molecules thus ATP and NADPH are formed in the reaction but the loss of electron in chlorophyll is fulfilled by the water molecule which on hydrolysis provides the electrons and stabilize the structure.

<u>  Light independent phase </u>

The phase during which the Rubisco enzyme binds with the carbon dioxide and forms 3-PGA. This 3 PGA is then reduced to G3P which requires the 6 ATP molecules. The G3P molecule then forms 1 molecule of glucose and the Rubp is again regenerated.
