Total nucleic acids are extracted from a culture of yeast cells and are then mixed with resin beads to which the polynucleotide

5'-TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT-3'
has been covalently attached. After a short incubation, the beads are then extracted from the mixture. When you analyse the cellular nucleic acids that have stuck to the beads, what will be most abundant?
mRNA because it is the only type of RNA that is polyadenylated and the poly (A) tail would be able to base pair with the strands of poly(T) on the beads and thus stick to them. DNA would not be found in the sample, as the poly (A) tail is not encoded int he DNA and long runs of T are rare in DNA.

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

(a)DNA (b)tRNA (c)rRNA (d)mRNA

Answer:

Option-mRNA

Explanation:

The mRNA is synthesized from the DNA and which is also a type of nucleic acid. When the nucleic acid is extracted from the yeasts and then mixed with the resin beads to which the polynucleotide with thymine base oar is attached.

The mRNA will bind to the resin bead as the mRNA after synthesis undergoes modification and attaches poly A tail to the end of the mRNA at 3' end.

This poly-A tail has adenine which easily binds to the thymine and thus mRNA easily attaches to the resin bead.

Thus, mRNA is correct.

Which atom is being researched as a possible ingredient of magnetic soap that can help clean up oil spills? carbon gold oxygen i
yaroslaw [1]

The correct answer is iron.  

The scientists from Britain discovered a soap with magnetic characteristics that could exhibit huge applications in the manner to fight against the damaging oil spills. In the mentioned soaps, the iron-abundant salts are supplemented to establish metallic centers inside the particles of the soap.  

After the solution is treated in a water source, a magnet was utilized to subjugate both the surface tension and gravity of the water, levitating the iron-rich scrubbing bubbles so that they can be withdrawn easily.

Cyanobacteria and purple sulfur bacteria both obtain energy from light. however, only the ________ are capable of releasing ____
kap26 [50]

Answer: Cyanobacteria, oxygen

Cyanobacteria also known as Cynophyta and blue green algae. It is a phyllum of bacteria that produces it's own food like plants by the process of photosynthesis. It is found in freshwater lakes, damp soils, oceans, moistened rocks and even in animal fur. The purple sulfur bacteria belongs to the group of Proteobacteria. It is an anaerobic bacteria. It is found in hot springs, and stagnant water. It is a photosynthesizing bacterial strain like Cyanobacteria but it does not utilize water to be reduced in the photosynthesis process like in Cynobacteria, to produce oxygen.

Hence, only the <u>Cyanobacteria</u> are capable of releasing <u>oxygen</u>.

The embryonic stem in a seed is the plumule.

it grows out of the hypocotyl, which that itself grows out of the radical, which is attached to the microphyl, feeds on the cotyledon, is fertilized by the endosperm, and is all protected by a hard seed coat :)

The mutation rate is the probability of a single gene mutating in an offspring bug.
Ilya [14]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

A mutation is any alteration in the genetic sequence of the genome of a particular organism. Mutations in the germline (i.e., gametes) can pass to the next generation, thereby these mutations can increase their frequency in the population if they are beneficial or 'adaptive' for the organism in the environment in which the organism lives (in this case, an insect/bug). The mutation rate can be defined as the probability of mutations in a single gene/<em>locus</em>/organism over time. Mutation rates are highly variable and they depend on the organism/cell that suffers the mutation (e.g., prokaryotic cells are more prone to suffer mutations compared to eukaryotic cells), type of mutations (e.g., point mutations, fragment deletions, etc), type of genetic sequence (e.g., mitochondrial DNA sequences are more prone to suffer mutations compared to nuclear DNA), type of cell (multicellular organisms), stage of development, etc. Thus, the mutation rate is the frequency by which a genetic sequence changes from the wild-type to a 'mutant' variant, which is often indicated as the number of mutations <em>per</em> round of replication, <em>per</em> gamete, <em>per</em> cell division, etc. In a single gene sequence, the mutation rate can be estimated as the number of <em>de novo</em> mutations per nucleotide <em>per</em> generation. For example, in humans, the mutation rate ranges from 10⁻⁴ to 10⁻⁶ <em>per </em>gene <em>per</em> generation.
