Mandarinka [93]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

b. An operon is a region of DNA that codes for a series of functionally related genes under the control of the same promoter

Explanation:

An operon is usually found in prokaryotic organisms. It refers to the functional structure within prokaryotic genome in which multiple different genes are under the control of one promotor. All of the genes are transcribed together which leads to the formation of polycistronic mRNA. Polycistronic mRNA migh undergo splicing to create monocistronic mRNAs which will be translated separately into few products (proteins).

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

Mitochondrial proteins enter the organelle through channels formed by membrane proteins present in its inner and outer membranes.

Explanation:

All the biological membranes have lipid bilayer with the non-polar core that does not allow entry of charged and large substances. Mitochondrial proteins are synthesized in the cytosol and the unfolded proteins bind to the chaperons that deliver them to the receptors present in the outer mitochondrial membrane.

The receptor moves the protein to the membrane channels formed by integral membrane proteins of inner and outer mitochondrial membranes. The proteins enter the intermembrane space and are targeted to the inner membrane through channels while chaperons are left outside only.
