Describe the key steps in the semiconservative replication of DNA.

Biology

Answer:

Semi-conservative replication is meant for the description of DNA replication and it i s called so because parent DNA helix produces two copies of original DNA, one of which consist of original DNA.

The three main steps in DNA replication includes Initiation, Elongation and Termination.

In the initiation phase, replication begins at origin of replication where helicase enzyme breaks the hydrogen bonds between base pairs and tends to unwind the double helix where the topoisomerase stabilizes the newly formed single strand DNA. DNA polymerase allows elongation to occur in leading direction and catalyses the addition of new nucleotide to new single strands. short sequences of RNA called primers paired to template strands with the help of primase. replication of both strands occurs at the same time one in continuous (3'-5') and other in discontinuous (5'-3') direction, which are called leading strands. new nucleotides added in 3' end and moving to replication fork while discontinuous synthesis occur on parent strand (5'-3') called lagging strand and completed in segments called okazaki fragments. Then primase add primers ahead at 5' end of the lagging strand. DNA  polymerase ||| adds short sequences of nucleotides to the primer. During termination, exonuclease replaces DNA primer and DNA nucleotide and DNA ligase helps in making bonding between fragments and replaced nucleotide. Another exonuclease helps in proofreading the newly formed DNA and corrects the errors in sequences. At the end of the parent strands, telomeres are present which keeps on catalyzing by telomerase and completes, the formation of copies of parent DNA.

Can mRNA coding for a protein destined to be embedded in the plasma membrane associate with rough ER prior to the initiation of
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

mRNA must start membrane protein in the cytoplasm and, after that, continue it in the rough ER.

Explanation:

Protein synthesis is initiated when mRNA meets a free ribosome, the primary structure for protein synthesis. Ribosomes can be found in the r<em>ough endoplasmic reticulum</em> or floating in the cytosol. They read the mRNA code and add the correct amino acid using transference RNA to build the protein.

The <u>rough endoplasmic reticulum</u> is in charge of the synthesis and transport of the membrane proteins. It is also in charge of the latest protein modifications after transduction. Synthesis of membrane proteins <u>starts in the cytoplasm</u> with the production of a molecule portion known as a signal sequence. This portion leads the synthesizing protein and associated ribosome to a specific region in the Rough endoplasmic reticulum where it continues the protein building.

Membrane proteins are synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum and <em>sent to the Golgi complex in vesicles</em>, where it happens the final association of carbohydrates with proteins. Finally, protein is transported <em>from the Golgi complex to its final destiny, the membrane. </em>

Musya8 [376]

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Tuberculosis is usually treated by the end of six months or early. This is done by the first line TB drugs.

This disease is resistant to many of the antibiotics which is used by in case of Tuberculosis. These drugs were initially used to treat tuberculosis.

There are chances that this disease is not cured completely and is repeated again and again if the patient is not handled carefully.

The illness is very risky as it leads to coughing along with the blood clots and many more symptoms.
