Carbon and nitrogen and an important element of living things. Nitrogen is a major component of DNA and amino acids while carbon can be found in almost all biomolecules. These elements, therefore, need to be renewed and recycled as they are utilized by ecosystems that is ever dynamic.
In 1668, Francesco Redi, an Italian scientist, designed a scientific experiment to test the spontaneous creation of maggots by placing fresh meat in each of two different jars. ... Redi successfully demonstrated that the maggots came from fly eggs and thereby helped to disprove spontaneous generation.
The process of RNA editing is the alteration of the sequence of nucleotides in the RNA after it has been transcribed from DNA, but before it is translated into a protein. RNA editing occurs by two distinct mechanisms:<em><u /><u>Substitution</u> <u>editing </u></em>and <u><em>Insertion/</em></u><em></em><u><em>deletion</em></u><em> <u>editing</u></em>.
<u><em>Substitution editing</em></u> is the chemical alteration of individual nucleotides. These alterations are catalyzed by enzymes that recognize a specific target sequence of nucleotides:
*Cytidine Deaminases that convert a C in the RNA to uracil.
*<em />adenosine deaminases that convert an A to inosine,which the ribosome translates as a G.<span>Thus a CAG codon</span><span> (for Gln) can be converted to a CGG codon (for Arg).
<em><u>*Insertion/deletion editing</u></em><em><u /></em><u /> is the insertion or deletion of nucleotides in an RNA.
These alterations are mediated by guide RNA molecules that base-pair as best they can with the RNA to be edited and serve as a template for the addition( or removal) in the target.</span>
Carbon dioxide is a byproduct of respiration while oxygen is a byproduct of photosynthesis.
Remember that a byproduct is a secondary product that is made in the synthesis of another. It is unintended and excreted.
During mitosis, chromosomes move to the middle of the spindle during metaphase. Mitosis is a type of cell division in which the parent cell divides into two daughter cells with each daughter cell receiving the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Mitosis has the following phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase.
