Botulism and myasthenia gravis are conditions that cause muscle weakness. Which of these statements is NOT true? Botulism and my
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

Both conditions are caused by an inability of the body to produce adequate acetylcholine.

Explanation:

Botulism is a potentially fatal condition caused by the toxin of bacteria <em>Clostridium botulinum</em>. Early symptoms are weakness, slurred speech, blurred vision etc. It may lead to vomiting, abdominal swelling and respiratory failure if not treated. The toxin hinders the release of neurotransmitter acetylcholine due to which motor neurons are not able to send signals to muscle cells. Muscles are not able to function properly due to which paralysis occurs.

Myasthenia gravis is also a neuromuscular condition like botulism. But unlike botulism release of acetylcholine is not hindered here. The receptors for acetylcholine are destroyed or altered by body's own immune system. Acetylcholine despite being present is not able to relay the signal which leads to muscle weakness. Symptoms are almost similar to those of botulism.

E. coli DNA polymerase III is both highly accurate and highly processive. a) Describe how Pol III avoids the incorporation of im
kogti [31]

Answer/Explanation:

DNA polymerase is the enzyme responsible for replicating DNA. It is hugely important that is performs its functions accurately, as if incorrect bases are incorporated this can lead to mutations that disrupt the structure and function of genes. It adds nucleotides in a 5' - 3' direction only.

DNA polymerase III also has high processivity, which means that for every time it binds DNA, it is able to add many bases before it becomes dissociated.

A. DNA polymerase avoids the incorporation of improperly paired nucleotides in two ways:

  • The first way depends on the structure of the enzyme. If the nucleotide that the enzyme is in the process of adding is not complementary to the template, then the nucleotide will not align with the template, and thus it is more inefficient to add. This inefficiency means the nucleotide is more likely to leave the active site before it is added, and DNA polymerase can replace it with the correct nucleotide.
  • It also has proofreading capabilities. This means, when an incorrect base is added, it recognises the error and can fix this. It can do this because it possesses 3'-5' exonuclease activity. That means, it can chop out incorrectly added bases.

B. Ribonucleotides are the nucleotides that are incorporated into a growing RNA molecule. They are different from deoxyribonucleotides because of the differences in the sugar backbone (ribose vs deoxyribose). Their incorporation would disrupt the structure and function of the DNA, leading to problems with transcription and replication.

DNA polymerase avoids incorporating these nucleotides primarily because of the structure of the enzyme. Ribonucleotides cannot fit into the active site of DNA polymerase due to what is called a "steric filter" or "steric gate". This gate/filter function is performed by specific amino acid residues which usually have a bulky side chain and thus block the incorporation of the 2'OH of the ribose sugar (which is lacking in the deoxyribose sugar)

Andrews [41]
Answer:
A relationship between unrelated organisms in which oneorganism get benefit and the other is not affected is known as commensalism.
Explanation:
In commensalism organism live in a symbiotic association. the best example is the growth of epiphytes on the top or surface of orchid plants. The epiphytes obtain nutrients from orhids while in return orchids have no benefit from epiphytic plants.
