You isolate a purify a bacteriophage that can replicate in E. coli. Through chemical analyses you determine that the only nuclei

c acid present is RNA. You isolate the RNA and put it in a test tube with all of the necessary proteins and RNAs for translation. The RNA is translated and new infectious virions are made. What does this tell you about the bacteriophage?

The question is incomplete as the options are not provided which are:

RNA replicase is present in the viral capsid.

The RNA genome is of the plus sense and RNA replicase is present in the viral capsid.

The new bacteriophage is a retrovirus.

The RNA genome is of the plus sense.

Answer:

The RNA genome is of the plus sense and RNA replicase is present in the viral capsid.

Explanation:

The bacteriophage is the virus particles which are composed of the genetic material enclosed in the Capsid protein. The Bacteriophage virus infects the bacteria and uses their replication machinery to replicate themselves.

In the given question, all the proteins along with RNA for translation or ribosomes is provided. The single-stranded RNA is first their genome copied by the RNA replicase and the positive strand, therefore, acts as the mRNA. This mRNA is then translated into the protein sequence and a new virion is produced.

Thus, the selected option is correct.

What does the surface of a calm lake have in common with a contour line?
zlopas [31]

Answer;

-They are all at the same elevation

Explanation;

-Contour line on a topographical map that detail changes in elevation. This line connects points of equal elevation. Contour lines are used in Topography to show the elevation of the land on a map. When looking at a map the contour lines look very similar to how a calm lake would appear.

Which molecule is responsible for the wide diversity of life on earth?
Elden [556K]
A phylogeny is an evolutionary ”tree” of related
organisms that can be constructed by using
information obtained from the genetic material.
Genetic information is contained in all living cells,
in the form of long DNA molecules that take the
shape of connected double- stranded spirals
(DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid). DNA
spirals, or “helixes”, are tightly compressed in the
nucleus of every cell. Their information is
organized into a code made up of four small
molecules — the building blocks of DNA. The
molecules, called nucleotides, are labelled:
A (adenine), C (cytosine), G (guanine) and T
(thymine).
It is possible to draw conclusions about the
evolution of a group of plant or animal species,
and the relationships among them, by comparing
selected pieces of DNA.

Drag the labels onto the flowchart to indicate the sequence of events that occurs in the presynaptic cell (orange background) an
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

In chemical transmission the release of chemical messengers known as neurotransmitters occurs. Neurotransmitters carry information from the presynaptic or transmitter neuron to the postsynaptic or recipient cell.

As you may recall from the article on the structure and function of the neuron, synapses are usually formed between the nerve terminals - axon terminals - of the sending neuron and the cell body or dendrites of the receiving neuron.  

Scheme of synaptic transmission. An action potential travels through the axon of the presynaptic or emitting cell, and reaches multiple axon terminals branching from the axon. The axon terminal is adjacent to the dendrite of the postsynaptic or recipient cell. This place of close connection between axon and dendrite is the synapse.

A single axon can have multiple ramifications, which allows it to synapse with several postsynaptic cells. Similarly, a single neuron can receive miles of synaptic inputs from many different presynaptic or emitting neurons.

Within the axon terminal of a transmitter cell there are many synaptic vesicles. These are membranous spheres full of neurotransmitter molecules. There is a small space between the axon terminal of the presynaptic neuron and the postsynaptic cell membrane, this space is called synaptic space.
