Answer:

Addition of poly A tail and and addition of 5' cap

Explanation:

In eukaryotes, many post-transcriptional modification takes place like 5' capping, polyadenylation, and splicing. In 5' capping 7-methyl guanosine is added toward the 5' end of mRNA by the action of a enzyme called guanyl transferase. This cap protects mRNA from degradation.

In polyadenylation up to 250 adenosine nucleotides are added at the 3' end of the mRNA and it is called poly-A tail. Poly A polymerase is the enzyme that is responsible for polyadenylation.

Therefore two main post transcription modifications are 5' capping and polyadenylation.

What are the local and global effects of human impacts on Earth?

Lelechka [254]

Human activities contribute to climate change by causing changes in Earth's atmosphere in the amounts of greenhouse gases, aerosols (small particles), and cloudiness. The largest known contribution comes from the burning of fossil fuels, which releases carbon dioxide gas to the atmosphere.

Sickle-cell anemia is an example of codominance. What implications does this have for people with one or two copies of the sickl

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is C

Explanation:

Codominance means that the result of two different genes will give separated characteristics of both. For example, if an animal has a gene of red skin and another gene of white skin, it will have red in some parts of the body and white skin in other parts. It can be confused with incomplete dominance, which combines the characteristics of the genes, in these case the skin would be pink, the combination of white and red. People who have one gene of it are carriers of the disease of course, because it can be passed to their sons.
