Answer:

Explanation:

First of all, we need to know that prokaryotes are cells that don't have true nucleus, nor membranes organelles. Its counterpart is eukaryotic cells.

<u>Characteristics of prokaryotes:</u>

  1. Lack an organised nucleus. as we said before, and membrane organelles.
  2. The central part of this type of cell is called Nucleoid, there's found its DNA.
  3. Its diameter size is from 0.1 to 0.5 micrometers, just bigger than flu virus, for example.
  4. Its sized characteristics allow them to participate in ions and molecules processes. This is a important fact, because this habilitates prokaryotes to move fast through all the cell, taking out undesired elements away.
  5. Prokaryotes are singled cells or unicellular this means that are simple cells.
  6. Its nucleoid contains a single chromosome.

*they lack an organized nucleus and other membrane bound organelles
*DNA is found in a "nucleoid" - a central part of the cell
*The cell wall is an extra layer of protection and maintains the cell's shape.

What does mitosis do that the cell would do wrong if it just split down the middle in cell division?
serious [3.7K]
Mitosis is when a DNA error, aka mutation, occurs in a body cell. When cells divide, it needs a copy of the DNA. During DNA replication, that error can cause the instructions for building proteins to differ. The change can not affect offspring. Meiosis is the same situation, but in sex cells. This can be transferred to offspring.

Complete the following vocabulary exercise related to the process of translation of mRNA to protein by the ribosome.Match the wo
vredina [299]

1. The RNA that has an amino acid attached to it, and that binds to the codon on the mRNA, is called a tRNA.

tRNA are molecules involved in protein synthesis (translation) and those molecules connect codons from mRNA with  the amino acids they encode.tRNA has anticodone that binds to mRNA codone.

2. The process, performed by the ribosome, of reading mRNA and synthesizing a protein is called translation.

Translation is a process of gene expression in which proteins are synthesized (translated from the codons on mRNA).

3. Initiation of translation always happens at the start codon of the mRNA.

Translation process can be divided into three stages: initiation (starting off), elongation (adding amino acids to peptide chain that is going to become protein) and termination (finishing up).

4. Amino acids are attached to tRNA by enzymes called aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase.

These enzymes are part of the elongation stage of translation and they catalyze the adding of amino acids.

5. Termination of translation happens when the ribosome hits a stop codon on the mRNA.

Termination is the stage in which the finished polypeptide chain (future protein) is released from the ribosome.
