Explanation:

-mRNA or messenger RNA

DNA wound into chromosomes within the nucleus is unwound, unzipped and read by enzymes in a complex series of steps known as transcription. The message on DNA, called genes is copied by RNA polymerase, to form mRNA complementary sequence to that of the DNA strand.

Further Explanation:

Nucleic acids are comprised of smaller units called nucleotides and function as storage for the body’s genetic information. These monomers include ribonucleic acid (RNA) or deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). They differ from other macromolecules since they don’t provide the body with energy. They exist solely to encode and protein synthesis.

Basic makeup: C, H, O, P; they contain phosphate group 5 carbon sugar, these nitrogen bases which may contain single to double bond ring.

Nucleic acids like DNA stores all of an organism’s genetic information. Nucleic acid molecules comprise the nitrogenous bases Guanine, Adenine, Cytosine and Thymine. Conversely, RNA nucleotides are Adenine, Guanine, Cysteine and Uracil. These pair up as base pairs due to their varied structure- largely influenced by the location of N molecule.

In certain combinations, these bases form codons which act as instructions for protein synthesis. Codons are three nucleotide bases encoding an amino acid or signal at the beginning or end of protein synthesis.

RNA codons determine certain amino acids, so the order in which the bases occur within in the codon sequence designates which amino acid is to be made bus with the four RNA nucleotides (Adenine, Guanine, Cysteine and Uracil). Up to 64 codons (with 3 as stop codons) determine amino acid synthesis. The stop codons ( UAG UGA UAA) terminate amino acid/ protein synthesis while the start codon AUG begins protein synthesis.

Thus, these contribute to the broad diversity of living organisms, as varied combinations of these 64 codons can produce many proteins which can be organized into cells, tissues and organisms.

Imagine you are investigating the case of a young man who seems not to respond to stressful situations the same way most people

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

The answer of the human body to stress, and stressful situations, including to conditions that may trigger the stress response of the body, is a pretty complex one involving the nervous system as a whole, and the adrenal glands, which are responsible for producing two of the most important stress-related hormones. These hormones: glucocorticoids and corticoids (cortisol), will in turn affect all body systems in different manners to produce the necessary effects, to respond to the perceived "threat".

In essence, we have a pathway from our brains, to our adrenal glands, known as the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. In this axis, several genes that are geared towards stress responses activate (CRHR1 and CRHR2, among others) and produce CRH (Corticotropic releasing hormone), which in turn is directly related with stimulating the production of cortisol when there is stress. However, because our bodies are not meant to be in a constant state of alertness and preparation, because the different organs of the body are negatively affected, there are also pathways that will turn off this response and lower the stressful production of cortisol.

In this particular person, although he has been exposed to the same stressor as the others, he does not have precisely the same reactions to it as the others. It is important to note one thing here, and that is, that the stressor offered to these people were videos of stressful situations, and what is known about the stress response is that one vital part of it is visual exposure to different factors, including light, and images. These exposures cause the HPA axis to initiate a response through CRH production. However, it seems that in this young man, although most of the responses are present, not all of them are. So one solution could be that he has a mutation in his genes in his HPA axis, and therefore CRH is not being produced in enought levels to stimulate sufficient levels of cortisol production. However, there are also other genetical reasons why, and these could be many.

Which phase of mitosis is where two nuclear membranes are formed?

natali 33 [55]

During the prophase the nucleoli in the nucleus disappear. The chromatin fibers become tightly ccoiled and condense into chromosomes. Chromosomes line up in pairs and are joined at the centromere. In the cytoplasm, the spindle fibers begin to formand are made of microtubules.
