Answer:

Molecular genetic approaches to the study of plant metabolism can be traced back to the isolation of the first cDNA encoding a plant enzyme (Bedbrook et al., 1980), the use of the Agrobacterium Ti plasmid to introduce foreign DNA into plant cells (Hernalsteens et al., 1980) and the establishment of routine plant transformation systems (Bevan, 1984; Horsch et al., 1985). It became possible to express foreign genes in plants and potentially to overexpress plant genes using cDNAs linked to strong promoters, with the aim of modifying metabolism. However, the discovery of the antisense phenomenon of plant gene silencing (van der Krol et al., 1988; Smith et al., 1988), and subsequently co‐suppression (Napoli et al., 1990; van der Krol et al., 1990), provided the most powerful and widely‐used methods for investigating the roles of specific enzymes in metabolism and plant growth. The antisense or co‐supression of gene expression, collectively known as post‐transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS), has been particularly versatile and powerful in studies of plant metabolism. With such molecular tools in place, plant metabolism became accessible to investigation and manipulation through genetic modification and dramatic progress was made in subsequent years (Stitt and Sonnewald, 1995; Herbers and Sonnewald, 1996), particularly in studies of solanaceous species (Frommer and Sonnewald, 1995).

Dima020 [189]
Cyclobenzaprine is a drug that produce an anticholinergic response in the body, which means that is blocks neurotransmitters from the nervous system to prevent things like muscle spasms. but due to the neurotransmitters being blocked, it can cause these kinds of side effects because the brain can no longer control these things.

Which characteristics is directly related to the coding of a single amino acid during the process of translation?
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

the three-base sequence of mRNA

Explanation:

Translation is the process of formation of proteins. Translation process is achieved with the help of ribosome, which links amino acids in the order defined by messenger RNA (mRNA), using RNA (tRNA) transfer molecules to hold amino acids and read three nucleotides at a time of the mRNA.

The three-base sequence are present in mRNA called codons or mRNA nucleotide triplet sequences are specific to a amino acids for proper function. For exmaple:  AUG codon , specifies the amino acid methionine which acts as starts codon and initiate the process of translation.

Hence, during translation, the characteristic that represents the three base sequences of mRNA is related to the coding of single amino acid.
