amid [387]

Answer:

Please find the explanation below

Explanation:

Our nucleus is made up of a genetic material called deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), which is a double-helical structure that stores the genetic information needed for the optimal functioning of any organism. DNA, alongside RNA are nucleic acids that are composed of NUCLEOTIDES subunits. The nucleotide consists of a pentose sugar (deoxyribose in DNA and ribose in RNA), nitrogenous base and a phosphate group.

However, the genetic information stored in the DNA molecule needs to be expressed in order to form useful products (proteins). This genetic expression is done in two stages viz: transcription and translation. Transcription, which is catalyzed by an enzyme called RNA polymerase is the process whereby the information stored in the DNA is used to synthesize a mRNA molecule. However, this mRNA molecule is considered pre-mature until it is processed. RNA processing occurs in three stages viz: 5' capping, polyadenylation, and splicing.

5' capping involves adding a 5' cap to the marks molecule. Polyadenylation involves adding a poly(A) tail to the mRNA molecule while splicing is the removal of introns (non coding regions) with the aid of Spliceosomes and joining of the exons (coding region). After processing, the mRNA becomes matured and ready to be translated.

Translation is the process whereby the mRNA transcript is used to synthesize a protein molecule. It occurs in the ribosomes (organelles for protein synthesis, a complex of rRNA and proteins) where the mRNA is read in a group of three nucleotides called CODON. The reading is done by the Anticodon of a transfer RNA (tRNA), which is complementary to the codon.

Translation occurs in three stages: initiation, elongation and termination. The mRNA attaches to the P site of the ribosomes (initiation) where it is attached to by a tRNA's anticodon complementary to it. The anticodon carries the amino acid corresponding the codon and shifts to the A-site. The addition of amino acid to the polypeptide chain continues (elongation) until a stop codon is encountered, which signals the end of the translation process i.e. termination. This causes the polypeptide (protein) to be released from the E-site.

The synthesized protein undergoes packaging and modification in the Golgi apparatus.

How do hormones help the body maintain homeostasis?
Inga [223]

Answer:

The endocrine system plays an important role in homeostasis because hormones regulate the activity of body cells. The release of hormones into the blood is controlled by a stimulus. For example, the stimulus either causes an increase or a decrease in the amount of hormone secreted.

Fungi tend to reproduce sexually when nutrients are limited or other conditions are unfavorable,but they reproduce asexually in
zepelin [54]

Answer:

Sexual reproduction produces offspring which are distinct from the parent.This strategy is successful because this reproduction increases genetic variation, which entailsthe odds of some progeny, which are suited to new and challenging conditions.

Explanation:

Sexual reproduction produces genetic variability, as two nucleic unites to produce a new offspring this allows the fungus to adapt to new environments. Sexual reproduction in the fungi consists of three sequential stages plasmogamy, karyogamy, and meiosis.

It involves diploid chromosomes pulled into two daughter cells, each containing an haploid set of chromosome.

Plasmogamy is the fusion of two protoplasts which brings together two compatible haploid nuclei this nuclear types are present in the same cell, but are not yet fused. Karyogamy then leads to the fusion of the haploid nuclei and the formation of a diploid nucleus. The new cell formed by karyogamy is the zygote.
