They are composed of long chains of amino acids.
The building blocks of protein are amino acids. Amino acids are organic molecules made up an alpha (center) carbon atom which is linked to an amino group, a carboxyl group, a hydrogen atom and a variable component known as a side chain.
Amino acids are joined to each other by peptide bonds to form either a short chain called an oligopeptide or a long chain called a polypeptide. These chains are what forms the protein.
Answer:
the mRNA goes through extensive modifications such as addition of a poly tail and a 5' cap in eukaryotes but not in prokaryotes.
Differences:
- the promoters in prokaryotes have a -35 and -10 box while in eukaryotes they are variable but have a TATA box from
- the transcription initiation site there is a single RNA polymerase in prokaryotes while eukaryotes have multiple RNA polymerases
- the sigma factor associates with the promoter region in prokaryotes but in eukaryotes there are many basal transcription factors
Explanation:
Ribosomal and transfer RNAs are processed both in prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. However, mRNA is only processed in eukaryotes. In eukaryotic cells, mRNA processing involves:
1. Capping at the 5' end. This process has several functions including regulation of nuclear export, prevention of eukaryotic mRNA degradation and promotion of translation.
2. Splicing in order to remove introns and conserve coding exons. Splicing helps to increase the diversity of the eukaryotic mRNAs (and therefore eukaryotic proteins)
3. Polyadenylation by the addition of a poly(A) tail at the 3' end. The poly(A) tail makes the eukaryotic mRNA molecule more stable and also prevents its degradation by exonucleases.

Answer:
Gametes are haploid cells, and each cell carries only one copy of each chromosome. ... During meiosis, a diploid parent cell, which has two copies of each chromosome, undergoes one round of DNA replication followed by two separate cycles of nuclear division to produce four haploid cells.
Answer:
Individual bacteria can assume one of three basic shapes: spherical (coccus), rodlike (bacillus), or curved (vibrio, spirillum, or spirochete).
