Answer:

Ribosomal RNA: Structural part of ribosomes

Messenger RNA: Carry genetic information from DNA to proteins

Transfer RNA (tRNA): Transport amino acids to protein synthesizing complex.

Explanation:

Ribosomes are made up of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and proteins. The catalytic activity for the formation of peptide bonds between amino acids during protein synthesis resides the RNA of ribosomes.  

Messenger RNA (mRNA) is formed by the process of transcription during which the nucleotide sequence of the template DNA strand is copied into that of the RNA. The mRNA serves as a template for protein synthesis. The nucleotide sequence of mRNA is read in the form of genetic codes to specify the amino acid sequence of a protein. In this way, the genetic information stored in DNA is carried to the proteins.

During the process of protein synthesis, tRNAs carry amino acids to the mRNA-ribosome complex so that the amino acids are incorporated into the polypeptide. For the purpose, there is a tRNA with a specific anticodon sequence for a particular amino acid.

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum: series of connected flattened sacs, part of a continuous membrane organelle within the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells, that plays a central role in the synthesis of proteins.

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum: comprises of a tube-like structure located near the cell periphery. These tubules or tubes sometimes branch forming a network that is reticular in appearance. The network of smooth endoplasmic reticulum allows for an increased surface area to be devoted to storage of key enzymes.

Which best exemplifies the concept of neuroplasticity?
KonstantinChe [14]
The correct answer is "the formation of new brain cell connections as the result of reading a book".

Usually, neuroplasticity is apparent in young children when the central nervous system has an abundance of neurons. This is always in the context of forming new brain cell connections or synapses that will lead the person to access the information quicker. This also exemplifies the principle of use and disuse when it comes to knowledge. 

The other choices concerns the skeletal system, cardiovascular system, and the endocrine/reproductive system; all of which do not have a relation with neuroplasticity.

You are interested in studying a gene called CFTR because mutations in this gene in humans cause cystic fibrosis. You have made
Juliette [100K]

Answer: Both the mouse and human beings are encoding the proteins having similar functions.

Explanation:

The CFTR gene in the mouse and CFTR gene in the human beings encode proteins that perform similar function,this is so because if the results are same then it means that both mouse and human beings are encoding the protein that have similar function.

Option A is incorrect  because both humans and mouse are eukaryotes so they have introns and because of that even if the gene sequences are different they can still encode protein.

Option B is incorrect because  amino acid sequences can be similar inorder to have the similar function. If glutamic acid is replaced by aspartic acid, it won't have different function the function will remain same. So, identical amino acid sequences are not required. They can be similar too.
