Answer:

This question lacks options but the sequence follows this pattern: DNA ---> RNA ----> Protein

Explanation:

DNA is the stored form of the genetic material in living cells. It contains the genetic information needed by an organism to function. However, this information needs to be decoded and expressed. The cell does this by employing two major processes: transcription and translation. Transcription is the process whereby the information in the DNA is used to synthesize a RNA molecule.

The RNA molecule is specifically called a messenger RNA (mRNA) which is formed by copying the information in the nucleotide sequence of the DNA into it using complementary base pairing. The next process after the mRNA has been synthesized is to use the mRNA as a template to direct the synthesis of amino acids, which are building blocks of proteins. The mRNA sequence is read in a group of three nucleotides called CODON. Each CODON specifies a particular amino acid.

The sequence of the mRNA is read in the ribosome (organnelles of Protein synthesis). Each CODON read means the addition of one amino acid to the polypeptide chain. The order of the amino acid sequence determines the PROTEIN that is formed.

In a nutshell, the order of sequence in the DNA is used to synthesize a mRNA. The order of sequence in the mRNA is used to synthesize an amino acid sequence. The order of amino acid sequence determines the PROTEIN. Hence, DNA does not make proteins directly but is a recipe for its production.

Suppose you are an astronomer, and a child asks you to explain how long it takes light to travel through space. In your own word
densk [106]

Light speed, or 300,000 kilometers a second, might seem like a speed limit, but this is just an example of 3 + 1 thinking – where we still haven’t got our heads around the concept of four dimensional space-time and hence we think in terms of space having three dimensions and think of time as something different.

For example, while it seems to us that it takes a light beam 4.3 years to go from Earth to the Alpha Centauri system, if you were to hop on a spacecraft going at 99.999 per cent of the speed of light you would get there in a matter of days, hours or even minutes – depending on just how many .99s you add on to that proportion of light speed.

This is because, as you keep pumping the accelerator of your imaginary star drive system, time dilation will become increasingly more pronounced and you will keep getting to your destination that much quicker. With enough .999s you could cross the universe within your lifetime – even though someone you left behind would still only see you moving away at a tiny bit less than 300,000 kilometres a second. So, what might seem like a speed limit at first glance isn’t really a limit at all.

To try and comprehend the four dimensional perspective on this, consider that it’s impossible to move across any distance without also moving through time. For example, walking a kilometer may be a duration of thirty minutes – but if you run, it might only take fifteen minutes.

A person undergoes hypnosis, and her hand is put in ice. she does not show signs of being in pain. which of these statements is
mr Goodwill [35]
<span>The dissociation theory states that while in hypnosis, the mind is completely separated from the rest of consciousness. So, if a person underwent hypnosis, and her hand was put in ice, her mind would theoretically not be able to register the pain that would be experienced by her body. So, the statement that she didn't feel pain from the ice is consistent with the dissociation theory.</span>
