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.

Which of the following is the adaptation that allows animals to survive in high altitudes, which contain lower levels of oxygen?
yanalaym [24]

The best answer is B.

An animal like the Llama lives in high altitudes from 7,400 to 12,800 meters above sea level.

When compared to other animals, Llamas have a lot more red blood cells per unit than other animals. More red blood cells mean more hemoglobin.

When hemoglobin combines with oxygen, oxyhemoglobin is formed. Thus oxyhemoglobin in Llamas is greatly increased  than in most other animals and  the Llamas are able to thrive in high altitude  areas where oxygen is thinner.

Explain the specific mechanisms that have allowed for diversity in organisms
kirill115 [55]

There are five mechanisms involve in diversity of organisms:

genetic drift, mutation, natural selection, gene flow and non random mating.

Explanation:

Genetic drift: It is a mechanism in which frequency of the allele changes within a population due to random sampling. It causes decrease in diversity in organism and can result in new species.

Mutation: Mutation in the genes is the most important reason of diversity.the change in DNA causes introduction of new alleles. Harmful mutations do not le species evolve by delimiting them from reaching sexual maturity.

Gene flow: The allele flow happens when a new gene is introduced into a population either by immigration or random mating. when two populations of same species share genes, variation occurs.

Natural selection: The favourable traits for survival are transferred to the offspring. It allows them to adapt better to the environment.  It allows maintenance diversity of organism.

Non random mating: The mating between the individual with varied genotype will result in genetic variation.
