The main differences are that eukaryotes have membrane-bound organelles and the nucleus, which enables them to create much more complex multi-cellular organisms, which is impossible for the prokaryotes.
Answer
Feldspar a common mineral found in rocks have two cleavage plane and can be cleaved in two directions nearly at right angle . Mica is a group of sheet silica that have perfect basal cleavage plane, and can be cleaved only in one direction.
Answer:
A) Bacteria cannot carry out RNA splicing to remove introns and so produced a much larger protein.
Explanation:
Human is a eukaryote and has both introns and exons in its genes. Transcription of human genes forms a primary transcript that undergoes post-transcriptional modification.
One of the important even during the post-transcriptional modification is the removal of introns and joining the exons together to make a mature mRNA which in turn serves as the template for protein synthesis.
<em>E. coli</em> is a prokaryote and does not have the enzymatic machinery required for the splicing of introns.
Cloning of a complete human gene into the <em>E. coli</em> cells would not form the respective human protein since the bacterial cells would not be able to splice the introns from the primary transcript.
Answer: Colon cancer
Explanation:
All cancers, but especially colon and rectal cancers, commonly referred to as colorectal cancer (CRC), have hereditary factors that potentially increase one’s risk.
Genetic testing is determine if there is an increased risk of colon cancer. Apolipoprotein E (apoE) plays a major role in the metabolism of bile acids, cholesterol and triglycerides, and has recently been proposed as being involved in the carcinogenic process. Given the potential role of bile acids in colorectal cancer etiology, it is reasonable that colorectal cancer risk might be modified by apoE genotype. The absence of an e3 apoE allele significantly increased the risk of colon cancer especially for individuals above 50years.
