Answer:

In eukaryotes, it is well known that polyadenylation is required to produce the mature messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule and it provides stability to the mRNA during translation initiation. In prokaryotic organisms, polyadenylation is required for the degradation of the mRNA in a mechanism that involves three steps: endonucleolytic cleavage, polyadenylation and exonucleolytic degradation. Moreover, it is also important to note that no evidence of polyadenylation has bee reported in some prokaryotes including the halophilic bacteria Haloferax volcanic (Slomovic et al. 2005).

Why might increased turbidity increase the chance of something harmful being in the water
sergejj [24]

In drinking water, the more turbid it appears, the higher the chance that  those using it could end up with  gastrointestinal diseases.  The water may be having contaminants such as viruses and pathogenic bacteria which are found attached to suspended solids. These solids may interfere with disinfection of the water.

Erosion and effluent from highly urbanized  areas contribute to the turbidity of water in those areas.  In open bodies of water, organisms such as phytoplankton can contribute to turbidity in the water.

puteri [66]
Short-term memory holds information for 15 to 25 seconds and stores it according to its meaning rather than just as mere stimulation. However, it is not really true that short-term memory can be retained only for this short amount of time. It has been shown in different studies that it can be held even longer.

Assume that male sticklebacks (a type of fish) that aggressively guard their nests are exposed to pollutants that mimic the fema
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Out of the following given choices;

               

<span>A.      </span>cause their nest-guarding activity to drop

<span>B.      </span>change male characteristics to female characteristics

<span>C.      </span>disrupt the estrogen receptors

<span>D.      </span>cause the males to become even more aggressive

 

The answer is A. The males would begin to search for the females for mating and hence reduce their guard of the nests. This would result in easy access of the nests to enemies and predators of  fish eggs and fingerlings.
