Answer:

So the central dogma of molecular biology describes the journey from DNA to protein product:

DNA --transcription--> mRNA --translation--> Protein

Assuming the DNA sequence provided is the template strand (rather than the complimentary coding strand), we start by transcribing the sequence into mRNA starting on the 3' end of the DNA towards the 5' end (which would build the mRNA 5' to 3'). This process involves the enzyme "RNA polymerase," which can only add nucleotides to the 3' end of the mRNA, just like how DNA polymerase can only synthesize DNA in the 5' to 3' direction. The RNA polymerase will bind to the template DNA strand and synthesize the complimentary mRNA, substituting uracil for thymine (since RNA does not contain thymine like DNA).

In terms of transcribing the sequence given to you, we'll have to work backwards + flip it around to get the 5' to 3' mRNA since the DNA is given 5' to 3' rather than 3' to 5'. Due to the length and the fact that we'll have to use triplets in translation anyways, it can help to break the sequence into triplet codons now.

5’-AAG | TTA | ATG | AGA | AAT | CGA | CAT | GGG | GCG | CCG | AAA | GTA | TAA | CCG | TCT | TAG | AAT | AGC-3’

We can then cross out each codon as we transcribe it and flip the sequence to be 5'-3' mRNA:

mRNA: 5'- GCU | AUU | CUA | AGA | CGG | UUA | UAC | UUU | CGG | CGC | CCC | AUG | UCG | AUU | UCU | CAU | UAA | CUU -3'

Normally, mRNA sequences start with "AUG" which is the start codon (and codes for Methionine), but I'll assume this is just for practice translating + transcribing in general. There's also a stop codon before the end but I'll assume the same again.

Translation involves three main steps - initiation, elongation, and termination. Initiation involves the translation ribosome assembling around the mRNA starting at the 5' end start codon, and tRNA carrying an amino acid binding to the complimentary section of the mRNA. As each tRNA attaches and the ribosome moves along the mRNA, the amino acids on each tRNA are bonded into a longer and longer peptide chain and the now amino acid-less tRNA are ejected (elongation). Termination occurs when a stop codon is reached, the ribosome will end elongation and help fold the protein into its final structure.

To translate the mRNA sequence here we'll need an amino acid/mRNA codon chart. I don't believe I can attach an image here, but looking up those exact words should yield the right results in images.

5'- GCU | AUU | CUA | AGA | CGG | UUA | UAC | UUU | CGG | CGC | CCC | AUG | UCG | AUU | UCU | CAU | UAA | CUU -3'

Ala - Ile - Leu - Arg - Arg - Leu - Tyr - Phe - Arg - Arg - Pro - Met - Ser - Ile - Ser - His - STOP - Leu

Amino acids are often abbreviated into three letters (Ala = alanine, Met = methionine, etc), and sometimes are abbreviated as single letters, though I've only seen that for sequencing databases.

In terms of locations for each of these processes, transcription occurs in the nucleus for eukaryotes and translation in the ribosomes/cytoplasm.

How are diffusion and osmosis different? A. Osmosis is the movement of proteins. Diffusion is the movement of water. B. Osmosis
stepladder [879]
The answer is B, osmosis is the movement of water. Diffusion is the movement to chemicals and molecules.

Both osmosis and diffusion are movement of molecules from a region of higher concentration of the substance moving to lower concentration down the concentration gradient. However, osmosis is only for the movement of water molecules, while diffusion is for any type of substances including liquid or gas. So we can also say osmosis is a type of diffusion actually.

And also, both of these movement of molecules does not require extra energy, they all happen due to natural tendency.

Which of these properties of water most directly contributes to capillary action?
ivolga24 [154]

Because of strong adhesion , a property of water which directly contributes to capillary action.

<h3>What is adhesion and what is capillary action?</h3>
  1. See in the plants there is always a need of cohesion and adhesion as we all know already which is the only way water can be up to the plants aerial parts.
  2. Though there are two more ways called transpiration pull and root pressure theory.
  3. Cohesion is the property of water which depicts its attraction properties.
  4. Adhesion is the property of the water which mean water molecules can stick to other particles or molecules.
  5. And is the same reason that is adhesion which gives a boost to capillary action.
