Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Before the mRNA which has been processed from DNA is taken and transported to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm for the translation process, some modifications are made to the mRNA before transport. This includes

1. Capping: addition of 5'-5' phosphate bonds to the 5' terminus of the mRNA. Forms the cap structure that is essentials for binding to ribosomes via special proteins attached to the cap structure

2. Addition of poly(A) tail: a poly(A) addition signal (AAUAAA) is attached to the 3' terminus of the mRNA. They are important in translation initiation and degradation prevention

3. Splicing: this is likely the most remarkable processing in eukaryotes. It involves the removal of intron regions by excision from the present-mRNA and then ligating the exon regions together giving rise to the mRNA.

Which hypothalamic hormone contributes to the regulation of the male reproductive system? a. luteinizing hormone b. gonadotropin

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is option b. gonadotropin-releasing hormone.

Explanation:

The GnRH or the gonadotropin-releasing hormone is a releasing hormone that releases from the neurons of the hypothalamus. This releasing hormone is responsible for the secretion of the luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone.

GnRH regulates both gonadotropin hormones, in which, LH (luteinizing hormone) responsible for the regulation of the male reproductive system and FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) responsible for the female reproductive system and sperm production in testes in males.

Thus, the correct answer is option B. gonadotropin-releasing hormone.

How does the salinity in water change as you move from inland areas out towards to ocean? Be sure to include the phrase "brackis

garik1379 [7]

Answer:

The salinity of water increases as you move from inland areas out towards to ocean.

Explanation:

Salinity refers to the concentration of salt in the water. The salinity of water increases as you move from inland areas out towards to ocean because the ocean has high salinity than the inland areas. That is it can be said that the ocean contains brackish water. Brackish water has more concentration of salt than freshwater.
