Answer:

decreasing the number of copies of the polypeptide translated from this mRNA

Explanation:

Polyadenylation refers to the addition of multiple adenosine monophosphates (i.e., a polyA tail) to an RNA molecule, usually a messenger RNA (mRNA). Polyadenylation is catalyzed by an RNA polymerase called poly(A) polymerase (PAP), which adds adenine nucleotides to the mRNA. In eukaryotic cells, polyadenylation is required to produce a mature mRNA which is then used as template for protein synthesis during translation. This posttranscriptional modification (polyadenylation) is known to stabilize the mRNA by preventing its degradation by exoribonucleases, i.e., enzymes that degrade RNA molecules by removing terminal nucleotides from 3' and 5' ends. In consequence, it is expected that a mutation that prevents polyadenylation of a target mRNA decrease the number of copies of the protein translated from this mRNA.

Differentiate between active natural immunity and passive natural immunity?​
Bingel [31]

Explanation:

A prominent difference between active and passive immunity is that active immunity is developed due to the production of antibodies in one's own body, while passive immunity is developed by antibodies that are produced outside and then introduced into the body.

What is an advantage of performing a series of dilutions vs. a simple dilution?
Marrrta [24]

<u>Answer:</u>

The series dilution method is the step wise dilution technique where the dilution factors remain constant in each step.  

The advantages of using the series of dilution method over simple dilution are stated below:

<em>a)        Aids in reduction of a dense culture of cells to a more usable concentration.</em>

<em>b)        In every step of dilution the specific amount of bacteria is removed. </em>

<em>c)        Helps in the estimation of concentration of an unknown sample.</em>

<em>This sums up the advantage of using the series dilution technique.</em>

Which statement about neural reflex arcs is incorrect? Which statement about neural reflex arcs is incorrect? Their function is
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

The incorrect statement is that the neural reflex arc becomes slow by the hormones involved.

Explanation:

A neural pathway that controls a reflex is known as a reflex arc. In a reflex arc, the sensory neuron transmits a signal to the interneuron and stimulates it. The interneuron then transmits or passes the signal to the next neuron, that is, a motor neuron. The motor neuron associates with the interneurons in the spinal cord, which transmits messages from the CNS to the body. Thus, a reflex arc comprises the elements, that is, the receptor, integrating center, and the effector. Their main activity is to protect the body from external events.
