The abiotic elements are the nonliving ones like sand and rocks
I just learned this in science a month ago! Redi used a piece of meat in a jar and covered it with a cheesecloth. He got another jar of meat and left it open. He wanted to see if magots developed from flies or not. Luis Pasteur used an 'S' tube thingy and put broth inside and boiled it. Then he waited to see if broth fogged up because of dust or microorganisms. One tube was pointed upward so dust could get inside, and the other, downward. Hope this kindof explains this topic to you!
Answer:
After a cell was treated with a certain chemical, the ribosomes stopped functioning. The cell activity immediately affected by this change in ribosome function is protein synthesis.
Explanation:
The basic structural units of all living things are known as cells. Inside the cells, specialized structures called ribosomes are present, which synthesize proteins. The protein synthesis in a eukaryotic cell consists of two processes, transcription and translation.
The transcription process takes place in nucleus, where the information from a DNA strand is copied into a single stranded messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule using RNA polymerase enzyme. During the ending of transcription, the completed mRNA strand detaches from DNA and exits the nucleus and goes into a ribosome in the cytoplasm. In the ribosome, translation occurs where the genetic code in mRNA is read and protein is synthesized. These proteins are used by cells to perform important functions such as repairing cellular damage, maintain cellular structure, create hormones, cell division etc.
applications of biotechnology in the field of agriculture and medicine are:
Antibiotics are created from the plants for human and animal use. An antibiotic protein in stock feed is more cost-effective than traditional antibiotic production.
It helps in the production of genetically modified crops that produce crops with desired characteristics.
Gene therapy is used for the diagnoses of diseases like cancer and Parkinson’s disease.
Genetic testing is another technique that is used to diagnose any genetic diseases in theparents.
DNA fingerprinting is used in the identification of criminals and solving paternity disputes.
