The parent cell divides into two "daughter" cells. This will repeat over and over, and this is what we define as the cell cycle!


Fun Fact: Each stage of the cell cycle, such as G1 (Growth/Gap 1), Synthesis/ Stage, then G2/ Gap 2 stage, then following mitosis, has their own checkpoint! These checkpoints review/ revise what the cell has done during the stage.

What are the landmarks necessary for processing rna in eukaryotes?

Eukaryotic mRNA Processing

Unlike prokaryotes which have one RNA polymerase that makes all classes of RNA molecules, eukaryotic cells have three types of RNA polymerase (called RNA pol I, RNA pol II, and RNA pol III), and each type of RNA is made by its own polymerase:

RNA polymerase I makes ribosomal RNA (rRNA)
RNA polymerase II makes messenger RNA (mRNA)
RNA polymerase III makes transfer RNA (tRNA)

Moreover, RNAs are made in the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell, but function in protein synthesis in the cytoplasm. Unlike prokaryotic mRNAs, eukaryotic mRNAs undergo extensive modifications after synthesis by RNA polymerase II. These changes include capping,polyadenylation, and splicing.

Capping

Modification of the 5'-ends of eukaryotic mRNAs is called capping. The cap consists of a methylated GTP linked to the rest of the mRNA by a 5' to 5' triphosphate "bridge"(Figure 28.30). Capping occurs very early during the synthesis of eukaryotic mRNAs, even before mRNA molecules are finished being made by RNA polymerase II. Capped mRNAs are very efficiently translated by ribosomes to make proteins. In fact, some viruses, such as poliovirus, prevent capped cellular mRNAs from being translated into proteins. This enables poliovirus to take over the protein synthesizing machinery in the infected cell to make new viruses.

Polyadenylation

Modification of the 3'-ends of eukaryotic mRNAs is called polyadenylation (Figure BR). Polyadenylation is the addition of several hundred A nucleotides to the 3' ends of mRNAs. All eukaryotic mRNAs destined to get a poly A tail (note: most, but not all, eukaryotic mRNAs get such a tail) contain the sequence AAUAAA about 11-30 nucleotides upstream to where the tail is added. AAUAAA is recognized by an endonuclease that cuts the RNA, allowing the tail to be added by a specific enzyme:polyA polymerase.

Splicing

Eukaryotic genes are often interrupted by sequences that do not appear in the final RNA. The intervening sequences that are removed are called introns. The process by which introns are removed is referred to assplicing. The sequences remaining after the splicing are called exons. All of the different major types of RNA in a eukaryotic cell can have introns. Although most higher eukaryotic genes have introns, some do not. Higher eukaryotes tend to have a larger percentage of their genes containing introns than lower eukaryotes, and the introns tend to be larger as well. The pattern of intron size and usage roughly follows the evolutionary tree, but this is only a general tendency. The humantitin gene has the largest number of exons (178), the longest single exon (17,106 nucleotides) and the longest coding sequence (80,781 nucleotides = 26,927 amino acids). The longest primary transcript, however, is produced by the dystrophin gene (2.4 million nucleotides).

RNA-DNA Hybridization Reveals Spliced-out Introns

RNA splicing was discovered during analysis of adenovirus mRNA synthesis. In these studies, the abundant viral mRNA encoding the major virion capsid protein, called hexon, was isolated by gel electrophoresis of cytoplasmic polyadenylated RNA. To map the region of the viral DNA coding for hexon mRNA, researchers hybridized the isolated mRNA to the coding strand and the RNA-DNA hybrid was visualized in the electron microscope (Figure BL). Three loops of single-stranded DNA (A, B, and C) were observed; these correspond to the three introns in the hexon gene. Since these intron sequences in the viral genomic DNA are not present in mature hexon nRNA, they loop out between the exon sequences that hybridize to their complementary sequences in the mRNA.

Similar analyses of hybrids between RNA isolated from the nuclei of infected cells and viral DNA revealed RNAs that were coliner withe the viral DNA (primarly transcripts) and RNAs with one or two of the introns removed (processing intermediates). These results, together with the findings that the 5' cap and 3' poly-A tail of mRNA precoursors are retained in mature cytoplasmic mRNAs, led to the realization that introns are removed from primary transcripts as exons are spliced together. For short transcription units, RNA splicing usually follows cleavage and polyadenylation of the 3' end of the primary transcript. But for long transcription units containing multiple exons, splicing of exons in the nascent RNA sometimes begins before transcription of the gene is complete.

If cyanide stops the production of atp what transport would cease
boyakko [2]
ATP is produced via 3 main ways. This being Glycolysis, Krebs Cycle and ETC or Electron Transport Chain. However Cynanide binds to something called the cytochrome C oxidase, which is part of the ETC, which means the ETC no longer produces the ATP required for the cell. Therefor your body can't produce the energy u need and you die.

Which sequence of processes transports water from the atmosphere to the ocean and then back into a cloud?
Airida [17]
Answer: Precipitation -> evaporation -> condensation

Explanation: precipitation is when it rains, so water is delivered by the atmosphere into the ocean. Evaporation happens when water in the ocean is heated up and returned to the atmosphere. Condensation occurs when water condenses due to pressure/temp differences creating clouds.
