What determines whether a ribosome will be free or bound?​

Biology

borishaifa [10]3 years ago

The ribosome binding signal sequence of the RNA to initiate translation determines whether a ribosome will be free or bound.

Explanation:

Ribosomes help in protein synthesis by participating in translation and linking the amino acids as per the required sequence on the polypeptide chains.  

Free ribosomes are those which synthesize intercellular proteins and bound ribosomes synthesize intracellular proteins.

Ribosomes bind at the ribosome-binding sites located at the mRNA (5’untranslated region) and initiate, regulate, and control the efficiency and accuracy of the translation. This binding site represents upstream of nucleotides with the start codon of mRNA transcript.  

There are four binding points on the ribosomes and one binds to the mRNA and the remaining three binds to the tRNA.

Expressivity is the term used to describe the balanced genetic output from a hemizygous condition. True or False
dem82 [27]

Answer:

The statement is FALSE.

Explanation:

In genetics, expressivity refers to the amount of variation in a non binary phenotype across individuals, who are carrying a specific genotype. Scientists believed that variable expressivity is controlled by different factors such as environment, genetics and lifestyle choice. An example of expressivity is  a series of blue eye color that has different shades of blue. Thus, expressivity is not about balanced genetic output but varied genetic expression.
