Biology
1 answer:
antoniya [11.8K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The correct answer will be option C- A structure upon which proteins are assembled.

Explanation:

A ribosome is a complex molecule machine formed of proteins and rRNA molecules which acts as a site for the synthesis of the proteins.

These ribosomes are present in the cell as a free entity suspended in the cytosol or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum.

Each ribosome is made up of a large and small component which translates the information coded in the mRNA in the form of codons to amino acids which join to form proteins.

Thus, option- C is the correct answer.

Imagine you want to learn more about mike smith’s osteosarcoma. how could you use microarray technology to determine which genes
insens350 [35]

Scientists know that a mutation - or alteration - in a particular gene's DNA may contribute to a certain disease. However, it can be very difficult to develop a test to detect these mutations, because most large genes have many regions where mutations can occur. For example, researchers believe that mutations in the genes BRCA1 and BRCA2 cause as many as 60 percent of all cases of hereditary breast and ovarian cancers. But there is not one specific mutation responsible for all of these cases. Researchers have already discovered over 800 different mutations in BRCA1 alone.

The DNA microarray is a tool used to determine whether the DNA from a particular individual contains a mutation in genes like BRCA1and BRCA2. The chip consists of a small glass plate encased in plastic. Some companies manufacture microarrays using methods similar to those used to make computer microchips. On the surface, each chip contains thousands of short, synthetic, single-stranded DNA sequences, which together add up to the normal gene in question, and to variants (mutations) of that gene that have been found in the human population.
