Puromycin is an antibiotic. Its effect is to force the ribosome to detach from the mRNA chain before reaching the stop codon. Ex

Answer:

Please find the explanation below

Explanation:

Transcription and translation are the two proocesess involved in gene expression. These two processes are important because the end result is a PROTEIN responsible for the phenotypic characteristics of that organism. Transcription involves synthesis of mRNA from DNA while translation involves synthesis of protein from mRNA.

In this question, an antibiotics called Puromycin forces the ribosome to detach from the mRNA chain before reaching the stop codon. This means that the antibiotics "Puromycin" abruptly truncates the translation process. Hence, proteins will not be produced. This means that the organism (bacteria) will not be functionally active because of lack of necessary PROTEINS.

Which of the following is TRUE about sexual reproduction? Please choose the correct answer from the following choices, and then
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

The correct answer is A. Sexual reproduction produces a greater variation in offspring.

Explanation:

  • B is wrong because in sexual reproduction there are two organisms involved who combine their DNA, therefore resulting in non-identical offsprings.
  • C is wrong because sexual reproduction requires the two organisms involved to exchange DNA's whereas asexual reproduction involves only one organism which only copies it's own DNA for reproduction.
  • D is wrong because there are no risks as genetic defects and no need to seek a mate or it is easier than sexual reproduction which results in lower risks for the parents in asexual reproduction.
  • E is wrong because asexual production is a more efficient procedure and results in a faster growing population because there is no need to search a mate.
  • The answer is A because in sexual reproduction, two different DNA's from both parents get combined resulting in more variation in offspring. In asexual reproduction, there is only one set of DNA which does not allow the gene's to mix, causing a less diverse offspring.

2. How do gene splicing and gene therapy differ? How are they alike?
Alla [95]

Answer:

Restriction enzyme cuts out gene of interest, Gene is inserted into plasmid (circular) DNA of bacteria using same restriction enzymes, DNA ligase seals DNA together, Plasmid is inserted into bacteria (transformation)

The goal for both is to Change the DNA of the person with the genetic disease

Select all that apply The cellular respiration the mitochondrion serves as?
SVEN [57.7K]
D. The Krebs cycle

Here’s the Explanation for it:

The Cellular respiration refers to the biochemical pathway in which the cells release energy from chemical bonds of food molecules. The energy that is provided is very important to the creation of life itself.

The aerobic phases of the cellular respiration in eukaryote is seen within mitochondria (organelles). This is know as the Krebs Cycle and the electron transport chain which are aerobic phases.

Hope this helps!

Which of these statements would be true if the water molecule was linear instead of bent? Check all that apply.
zavuch27 [327]

If the water molecule was linear instead of bent, water would no longer produce hydrogen bonds. It will lose its polar properties and nearly all of its properties will change such as boiling point, water tension and solubility. It would be closer to gas, rather than liquid.
