Which type of bacteria causes tetanus?

A forest has two groups of plants that appear to be very similar both phenotypically and genotypically. The major difference is

Gennadij [26K]

The basics would be that you'd need to find out if they could exchange genetic information. If not, they couldn't be considered part of one species. Set-up 2 artificial environments so both groups would produce pollen at the same time. Fertilise both plants with the other's pollen. Then fertilise the plants with pollen from their own group.
Count the number of offspring each plant produces.
If the plants which were fertilised by the opposite group produce offspring, they are of the same species. You can then take this further if they are of the same species by analysing if there is any difference between the number (and health) of offspring produced by the crossed progeny and by the pure progeny. You'd have to take into account that some of them would want to grow at different times, so a study of the progeny from their first sprout until death (whilst emulating the seasons in your ideal controlled environment). Their success could then be compared to that of the pure-bred individuals.
Make sure to repeat this a few times, or have a number of plants to make sure your results are accurate.
Or if you couldn't do the controlled environment thing, just keep some pollen one year and use it to fertilise the other group.
I'd also put a hypothesis in there somewhere too.
The independent variable would be the number of plants pollinated. The dependant variable would be the number of progeny (offspring) produced.

Explain how human insulin can be produced using gene splicing.

Margarita [4]

Answer:

The gene for human insulin is inserted into the gap in the plasmid. this is done through the use of restriction enzymes and ligase to insert and close the plasmid. This plasmid is now genetically modified. The genetically modified plasmid is introduced into a new bacteria or yeast cell. The more the cells divide, the more insulin is produced as bacteria divides into two identical daughter cells like in mitosis.

Question in link below.

bezimeni [28]

The correct answer is - They supply the energy needed for living processes.

Both the carbon and the nitrogen, are gases that are crucial for the survival of the organisms on the planet. They are mostly used by the producers in the ecosystems, as they need them to manage to perform their cycles, get nutrition, and of course energy. The producers are the basis of the ecosystems, so if they do not have a healthy supply of carbon and nitrogen, the ecosystems on the whole planet will collapse. The carbon and the nitrogen later go from one organism to another as the energy is transferred, and usually end up back into the atmosphere again.

QUESTION 1 (5 marks) A molecule of messenger RNA (mRNA) has just been synthesized and processed in the nucleus of human cell wit

Dmitry [639]

1) DNA Template strand: TACAATCGACCCATC. 2) Anticodon: AAU. 3) mRNA carries genetic information to build the protein. 4) 5 amino acids. 5) Amino acids: Met, Leu, Ala, Gly, Tyr.

1)

<h3>What is the template strand?</h3>

When the DNI molecule separates into two strands to form the transcription bubble, we can identify two separate segments:

The coding strand that goes in 5' to 3' direction
The complementary strand -template strand- that grows in 3' to 5' direction .

The template strand is the one that is going to be complemented by the mRNA.

mRNA ⇒ AUGUUAGCUGGGUAG

DNA ⇒ TACAATCGACCCATC

Remember that pairs are as follows

T → A

A → U

G → C

2)

<h3>What is an anticodon?</h3>

The anticodon is the sequence of three nucleotides that couples with the mRNA codon.

Each tRNA has two important sites. One of them is the anticodon that couples with the codon of the mRNA molecule. The other one carries the amino acid that is going to be addeded to the protein.

1st 2nd 3th 4th 5th

mRNA codons ⇒ AUG UUA GCU GGG UAG

tRNA anticodon ⇒ AAU

3)

<h3>What is translation?</h3>

Translation is the stage of protein synthesis during which mRNA carries genetic information needed to synthesize the new protein in the cytoplasm.

Steps,

1- The formed mRNA moves to the cytoplasm through the nucleus membrane pores.

2- Once in the cytoplasm, mRNA meets a ribosome, the primary structure for protein synthesis.

3- Ribosomes are organelles composed of the association of proteins with rRNA and tRNA. They can be found in the rough endoplasmic reticulum or floating in the cytosol.

4- While the ribosome reads mRNA strain from its 5' extreme to 3', tRNA adds the correct amino acids to build the polypeptide.

The function of mRNA during translation is to take genetic information needed to build the protein.

4)

<h3>How many amino acids are determined per codon?</h3>

Each codon codes for only one amino acid.

There are cases in which different codons code for the same amino acid, but a single codon always codes for one amino acid.

mRNA codons ⇒ AUG UUA GCU GGG UAG

Amino acids ⇒ Met Leu Ala Gly Tyr

1 2 3 4 5

This mRNA segment represents 5 amino acids.

5)

Amino acids ⇒ Met Leu Ala Gly Tyr

When RNA is processed in the nucleus and made ready for transfer out into the cytoplasm for protein synthesis, which of the foll

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:
Letter E - exons are cut from the strand and removed

Explanation:

Letter A and B are incorrect because the poly-A tail and guanine cap are added to the 3’ and 5’ end respectively. They aid in translation of the mRNA, while serving as protection. The poly-A tail is repeated adenine nucleotides, while the guanine cap is a modified guanine nucleotide.

Letter C is incorrect because alternative splicing is one mechanism for generating variation, and is thought to be one of the reasons for why humans have smaller genomes than other organisms and still maintain high complexity. Alternative splicing is incredibly important because it produces more than one transcript from a pre-mRNA.

Letter D is incorrect because introns are the non coding portions of the mRNA. They are excised to make a smaller mRNA transcript, and one that contains all the protein genes.

This letter E is the correct answer, because exons are the coding portions of the mRNA, and are not excised during RNA processing.

Hope that helped! If I made a mistake, please let me know.
