Proteins are organic compounds that consist of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and, in some cases, sulfur. They are made up of repeating units called amino acids. They provide cells with energy, form tissues, speed up chemical reactions throughout the body, and perform many other cellular functions.

In prokaryotes new mutations accumulate quickly in populations, while in eukaryotes new mutations accumulate much more slowly.

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

In Prokaryotes the the rate of new mutations is much more as compared to the eukaryotes. The rate of accumulation of mutation is slow in case of eukaryote because their generation is long as compared to prokaryotes.

Prokaryotes have short generation time and large population size which enables them to accumulate the mutation quickly.

The machinery is also not that complex when it comes to prokaryotes. Transduction, conjugation and tranposable elements. So, the changes during these processes leads to mutation in the prokaryotes and can be observed quickly due to their small generation.

Answer:

By decoding information with the help of transfer RNA (tRNA).

Explanation:

The cell uses the information in DNA with the help of transfer RNA (tRNA) to synthesize a protein because transfer RNA (tRNA) decode a messenger RNA (mRNA) in order to produce proteins according to the information present in messenger RNA (mRNA). The information about protein is stored in a gene's DNA which is passed to a RNA in the cell nucleus which is responsible for formation of copies of DNA in the process of translation. So the cell uses the information of gene's DNA with the help of RNA molecules.
