The answer is ribose.
mRNA is actually messenger ribonucleic acid. As any other RNA (ribonucleic acid) it consists of a phosphate group, sugar ribose, and nucleobases (adenine, uracil, cytosine, guanine). So, it is called RIBOnucleic acid because it consists of sugar RIBOSE.
Take for example DNA - deoxyribonucleic acid. It is called DEOXYRIBOnucleic acid because it consists of sugar DEOXYRIBOSE.
<u>Stem cell </u>research has the potential to significantly impact the development of disease-modifying treatments for Parkinson’s disease with considerable progress made in creating dopamine-progressing cells.
Explanation:
Parkinson’s disease, a neurodegenerative disease, leads to reduction of dopamine (a neurochemical messenger which carries messages involving thinking and body movements to brain) in the body because the disease will target and kill dopamine-producing nerve cells (neurons). This leads to loss of movement and thinking abilities which are activated by dopamine.
Stem cells research is done to study about the prospects of stem cells in stem cell therapy for Parkinson’s patients as a viable source of new dopamine nerve cells. Research has been involved in growing stem cells to replace or regenerate dopamine-producing nerve cells by using embryonic stem cells or induced pluripotent stem cells as a treatment modality in Parkinson’s disease.
“Biomagnification or biological magnification is the process of accumulation of certain chemicals in living organisms to a concentration higher than that occurring in the inorganic, non-living environment.”
Human beings occupies the top place of most trophic level and we know that concentration of harmful chemicals increase as we go above the trophic level. Therefore human beings are most adversely affected by biological magnification.
Humans may also be affected due to the consumption of fish and shellfish.
