Small single-stranded RNA molecules called microRNAs (miRNAs) are capable of base pairing with specific binding sites in the 3′

untranslated region of many mRNA transcripts. Transcription of gene Q yields an mRNA transcript that contains such an miRNA binding site, which can associate with miRNA‑delta, a specific miRNA molecule.Which of the following best supports the claim that binding of miRNA‑delta to the miRNA binding site inhibits translation of gene Q mRNA?When the promoter for gene Q is altered, transcription is inhibited.ATranslation of Q mRNA is inhibited regardless of whether the miRNA binding site sequence is altered.BTranslation of Q mRNA is inhibited in the absence of miRNA‑delta.CWhen the miRNA binding site sequence is altered, translation of Q mRNA occurs in the presence of miRNA-delta.D

Answer:

Option D is correct.

Explanation:

Option a) given in the option that if promoter is altered it will inhibit transcription which is the process by which information present in DNA converted to mRNA which require RNA polymerase which bind to promoter site so if promoter is altered RNA polymerase will not bind so transcription will be inhibited but above question is asking about inhibition of translation due to binding of miRNA-delta molecule to Q mRNA so this option can be eliminated.

Option b if miRNA binding site sequence is altered miRNA molecule will not be able to bind to Q mRNA so translation will not be inhibited hence option b is incorrect

Option c translation of Q mRNA is inhibited when miRNA - delta is present not absent

So option c can be eliminated

Option d if miRNA binding sequence is altered miRNA molecule if present will not bind to Q mRNA hence translation of Q mRNA will occur & not inhibited

Hence option d is correct

What is the relationship of nitrogen and grass
fredd [130]

Nitrogen is the major nutrient required by grass and is used to stimulate high growth rates and is key to achieving high yields, however if too much nitrogen is applied this can have a negative effects on quality.

High rates of nitrogen can also cause problems with silage fermentation due to excess nitrate having a negative impact on the fermentation process and will produce silage that is less palatable and the animals will be less keen to eat it.

<span> <span> </span> </span> <span> Nitrate is generally taken up by grasses quicker than it is incorporated into proteins and until used this excess known as luxury uptake is stored in the leaves. Excess nitrate will be present if insufficient time is allowed between application and mowing and can also occur under conditions of poor growth eg low light levels, cool temperatures. It is also a problem if there is a dry spell after application, when nitrate cannot be taken up by the roots, followed by a period of wet weather that results in luxury uptake. The plant cannot convert it to protein quickly enough so it accumulates in the plant. </span>

High rates of nitrogen may cause a reduction in crop sugars as they are used to provide energy for the increased rate of plant growth and for the manufacture of plant proteins and this increased growth rate may in turn lead to lower crop dry matter content although in practice this is often not significant.

Excess nitrate can be avoided by following the Grassland Rule to apply nitrogen at the rate of no more than 2.5 kg N/ha/day.

What process is responsible for the formation of glomerular filtrate<br>​
Lerok [7]

Answer:

The process by which glomerular filtration occurs is called renal ultrafiltration. The force of hydrostatic pressure in the glomerulus (the force of pressure exerted from the pressure of the blood vessel itself) is the driving force that pushes filtrate out of the capillaries and into the slits in the nephron.
