Answer:

b. the rate at which the mRNA is degraded.

Explanation:

DNA is transcribed into mRNA which then joins ribosomes present in the cytoplasm to serve as a template for protein synthesis. Regulation of gene expression occurs at several levels.

One such regulatory mechanism is the stability of mRNA and the rate of its degradation which in turn affects the availability of template for the process of protein synthesis and thereby keeps a check on the total amount of protein being formed in a cell.

For example, a very short life span of bacterial mRNA (few minutes) allows them to regulate the pattern of protein synthesis quickly in response to the changes in surroundings.

A children's liquid medicine contains 100 mg of the active ingredient in 5 mL . If a child should receive 150 mg of the active i
wariber [46]

Answer:

The correct answer is 7.5 ml

Explanation:

The medicine contains 100 mg in 5 ml, that means that the concentration of the active ingredient is 100 mg/5 ml= 20 mg/ml

If we divide a concentration (in mg/ml) into a mass (in mg) we obtaine a volume (in mL). Thus, in order to calculate the mililiters of medicine which contain 150 mg of the active, we have to only divide mass (150 mg) into the concentration of active ingredient as follows:

mL = \frac{150 mg}{20 mg/mL}= 7.5 mL
