Describe the productions of protein through transcription and translation

1 answer:

6 0

Genes provide information for building proteins. They don’t however directly create proteins. The production of proteins is completed through two processes: transcription and translation. Transcription and translation take the information in DNA and use it to produce proteins. Transcription uses a strand of DNA as a template to build a molecule called RNA. The RNA molecule is the link between DNA and the production of proteins. During translation, the RNA molecule created in the transcription process delivers information from the DNA to the protein building machines. Through transcription the sequence of bases of the DNA are transcribed into the reciprocal sequence of bases in a strand of RNA. Through transcription the information of the DNA molecule is passed onto the new strand of RNA which can then carry the information to where proteins are produced. RNA molecules used for this purpose are known as messenger RNA (mRNA). A gene is a particular segment of DNA. The sequence of bases in for a gene determines the sequence of nucleotides along an RNA molecule. Only one strand of a DNA double helix is transcribed for each gene. This strand is known as the ‘template strand’. The same template strand of DNA is used every time that particular gene is transcribed. The opposite strand of the DNA double helix may be transcribed for other genes. During translation, the information of the strand of RNA is ‘translated’ from RNA language into polypeptide language i.e. the sequence of nucleotides is translated into a sequence of amino acids.

Which of the following adaptions will help a plant survive in the desert?

Soloha48 [4]

A is correct. We know that water buildup is essential for plants (and all other organisms) that live in the desert due to its lack of moisture. So, the question is simply asking which adaptation will help a plant retain the most water in the desert. Here’s what makes each wrong or right:
A. Stem that stores water - Having stems that can retain a lot of moisture and water is absolutely necessary for plants that live in hot and dry biomes. The brief periods of rain in the desert make it easier for plants with water-storing stems to absorb the water and remain hydrated throughout their time. This is referred to as succulence, and most (if not all) plants in the desert are succulents. This is the correct answer!
B. Shallow root system - Many plants that live in deserts tend to have shallow root systems that allow them to quickly absorb and moisture in the environment — and because water never goes too far in the desert, they soak most of it up. Although this is helpful, it is better for plants that live in places with a lot of soil.
C. Large surface area - Having a large surface area is more useful for photosynthesis and may result in dehydration. This is wrong!
D. Flat broad leaves - Again, this adaptation is more favorable for plants that do not live in the desert because, as we know, photosynthesis requires water.

The critical factor that determines gender during development is ________.

Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

the SRY gene.

Explanation:

The SRY gene was found within the minimum region of Y-specific DNA required for male development. Confirmation of its role was found by the analysis of XY female patients with mutations within this gene. A mouse has been an important working model to study the process of mammalian sex determination.

How do prions disrupt the normal function of an organism and cause diseases such as mad cow disease?

aev [14]

Answer:

Prions causes abnormal folding of the prion proteins in the brain.

Explanation:

Prions are the abnormal infectious agents composed only of the proteins and no nucleic acids. The prions cause several neurodegenerative diseases in the humans as well as the mammals.

The prions cause the cow mad disease in the cows by affecting the brain of the cow as the prions act on the prion proteins present in the brain only and change their conformation. This leads to the degeneration of the neurons and causes tiny pores in the brain giving sponge-like appearance.

This slows down the mental activity and thus ultimately leads to the death of the cow.
