Imagine that your lab is synthesizing a new type of cell. One of your colleagues suggests that your synthetic cell should use pr

okaryotic systems for all the steps of gene expression (transcription and translation) because prokaryotic protein synthesis is faster than eukaryotic protein synthesis. What characteristics of prokaryotic transcription and translation make the overall process faster than in eukaryotes

Answer:

In a scenario in which I have to synthesize a cell and decide why I have to pick one from Prokaryotic or eukaryotic because of their differences in the speed of the process. The characteristics that make it faster in prokaryotic cells are:

The primary transcript in prokaryotes does not undero further processing, so transation can begin immediatly.

Multiple proteins can be synthetized from a single polycistronic MRNA molecule.

Prokaryotes lack a nuclear envelope, so translation can begin on mRNA even before transcription of the mRNA is complete.

Explanation:

The nature of Prokaryotes makes them undergo the synthesizing process quicker than Eukaryotes because they don't require a preliminary process to start it as Eukaryotes have to undergo one. This is because their composition, Eukaryotes are cells without many organelles like mitochondria or even nucleus. this is also the reason for eukaryotes to be slower in the process of synthesizing mRNA because they don't have organelles to process it faster. Finally, because they don't have a nucleus to help them assimilate the mRNA.

What is the difference between directional selection and disruptive selection
morpeh [17]
Directional selection is where one phenotype is favored, so an example would be "a population of madagascar hissing cockroaches suffers heavy predation from lizards. Because their heads are small, the lizards are unable to eat the very largest adult cockroaches, and instead prey upon small and medium sized adults, so as a result the large cockroaches are favored and live". 
Meanwhile, disruptive selection is where both extreme phenotypes are favored, an example would be "a population of rabbits can have black fur, white fur or grey fur. This population of rabbits lives in an area of white rocks. When a local volcano erupts, black volcanic rock now dots the landscape amongst the white rocks. Now the black and white rabbits live longer because the black and white spots on the landscape camoflauge them. The two extreme phenotypes are being favored."
