When a bacterial infection is treated with an antibiotic, the hope is that the antibiotic will kill all of the bacteria and prev

ent them from reproducing. However, if the full prescription of antibiotics is not taken by the sick person, some of the more resistant bacteria can survive. When they reproduce, these bacteria can pass the genes responsible for their resistance on to their offspring. As a result, subsequent administration of the same antibiotic will be less and less effective over time.

This is natural selection. If a random mutation/variation occurs and a bacteria is now resistant to antibiotics, then this is a favorable gene that promotes survival in its environment. This gene will be passed on to offspring through mitosis/binary fission or even conjugation and those bacteria will also be resistant. Eventually all non resistant bacteria will be gone or their numbers will be greatly reduced and only resistant bacteria will survive to reproduce.

The attachment of nucleotides to form a complementary strand of DNA during replication
olga2289 [7]

Answer: is accomplished by DNA polymerase.

Explanation: DNA polymerase is an enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of a complementary strand of a DNA molecule during replication. The double stranded DNA helix is first unwind by the enzyme known as helicase giving rise to two DNA strands which serve as templates for replication. DNA polymerase then binds to a primer, a short nucleotide sequence and catalyzes the attachment of nucleotides to the primer to form a growing strand that is complementary to the parent DNA.

Protein synthesis consumes four high-energy phosphate bonds per added amino acid. Transcription consumes two high energy phospha
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

30 protein molecules per mRNA molecule

Explanation:

In this problem, it is necessary to have into account that the transcriptional process requires six (6) phosphate bonds to synthesize one (1) codon (i.e, each three nucleotides), and also discards 95% more energy to make mRNA, it means 19 times this amount of energy >> 6 x 19 = 114 bonds. In consequence, transcription requires 120 phosphate bonds (6 + 114 = 120), while translation requires four (4) phosphate bonds per codon. From this deduction, it is possible to find the number of protein molecules synthesized with regard to the energy cost of the translation process and the transcriptional process >>> 120 bonds (transcription) /4 bonds (translation) = 30 protein molecules.

RNA nucleotides form complimentary base pairs with DNA bases.  Hydrogen and sugar-phosphate bonds form and the mRNA is synthesized.

Explanation:

The process of mRNA formed by DNA is called transcription. The genes coding for the protein is present on DNA as a nitrogenous base or nucleotides.

Transcription takes place inside the nucleus with the assistance of major enzyme RNA polymerase. In transcription 5'to3' single strand of RNA is synthesized which is complementary to the 3'to5' strand of DNA. The sequence of DNA has promoter sites which will be recognized and DNA will unzip to form transcription bubble. Several transcription factors and enzyme will be required to synthesize mRNA.

This mRNA after some modification would become primary transcript and pass on to the cytoplasm where protein synthesis will take place.
