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

Biology
1 answer:
borishaifa [10]3 years ago
4 0

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.

Which of the following epochs was the warmest?

This question is incomplete. The options are:
a. Oligocene b. Eocenec. Miocene<span>d. Pleistocene

</span>Option b is correct. This relates to the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) which occured around 56 million years ago and was similar to modern-day climate change. Warming of more than 5 degrees Celcius occured over<span> 15-20 thousand years because of input of more than 2000 gigatons of carbon into the atmosphere. The PETM resulted in mass deep ocean extinctions and mass terrestrial and shallow ocean diversification.</span>

Describe the structure of a neuron. Include the cell body, dendrites, and axon in your description. How does the structure of a
igomit [66]

Answer: A neuron has three main parts: dendrites, an axon, and a cell body or soma , which can be represented as the branches, roots and trunk of a tree, respectively. A dendrite (tree branch) is where a neuron receives input from other cells. Dendrites branch as they move towards their tips, just like tree branches do, and they even have leaf-like structures on them called spines.

The axon (tree roots) is the output structure of the neuron; when a neuron wants to talk to another neuron, it sends an electrical message called an action potential throughout the entire axon.

The features of neurons help them to carry out their function efficiently:

they have a long fibre (axon) so they can carry messages up and down the body over long distances

in a stimulated neuron, an electrical nerve impulse passes along the axon

the axon is insulated by a fatty (myelin) sheath - the fatty sheath increases the speed of the nerve impulses along the neuron

at each end of the neuron are tiny branches (dendrons), which branch even further into dendrites - the dendrites receive incoming nerve impulses from other neurons

A variation that results in increased fitness is more likely to be passed on?
exis [7]

A variation that results in increased fitness is more likely to be passed on  because the individual will reproduce. thus option B is correct.

<h3>What is variations?</h3>

Genetic diversity is endlessly possible as a result of sexual reproduction. In other words, sexual reproduction produces genetically distinct offspring. They are different from one another as well as from their parents.

Variation will be passed on through reproduction. reproduction results in genetic variation which increase the chance of survival of new organisms.
