Biology

Answer : The The correct option is, If there is energy lost in the collision to sound, heat, etc., the collision is inelastic.


Explanation :

  • Elastic collision : It is defined as in which there is no loss of kinetic energy in the collision.
  • Inelastic collision : It is defined as in which there is a loss of kinetic energy in the collision and this energy changed to another form of energy.

If the collision involves bouncing, it is inelastic because kinetic energy is not conserved.

If the collision involves sticking together, it is inelastic because kinetic energy is not conserved, it is changes to potential energy.

DNA is replicated in the nucleus of eukaryotes, but in the cytoplasm of prokaryotes. Why is this?
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

In prokaryotes (organisms without a nuclear membrane), DNA undergoes replication and transcription and RNA undergoes translation in an undivided compartment. All three processes can occur simultaneously.

   In eukaryotes (organisms with a nuclear membrane), DNA undergoes replication and transcription in the nucleus, and proteins are made in the cytoplasm. RNA must therefore travel across the nuclear membrane before it undergoes translation. This means that  transcription and translation are physically separated. The primary transcript, heterogeneous nuclear RNA (hnRNA), undergoes extensive post-transcriptional processing to make a messenger RNA (mRNA)molecule that can pass through the nuclear membrane.
