NISA [10]3 years ago

The best choice is A.

A gene is a specific sequence of nucleotides in DNA or RNA that is located usually on a chromosome and that specifies the structure of a particular polypeptide and especially a protein, or controls the function of other genetic material.

Information from the gene is copied (transcribed) on mRNA in the nucleus. mRNA then leaves the nucleus and enters the cytoplasm where it attaches to a ribosome. The information on the attached  mRNA is  decoded (translated) by tRNA  which then fetches the amino acids according to this information and brings them to the ribosome where they are linked together to form the specified protein.

Answer:

Hypotonic solution

Explanation:

hypertonic solution is the one you get when the solute concentration of the water is higher than that of the cells.

isotonic solution is the one you get when the solute concentration of the cell and the water are the same.

hypotonic is the one that you get when the solute  concentration of the cell is higher than that of the waters.

Solute concentration being low reminds me of water. Hypo kind of sounds like hippo and hippos love water. You can use this to memorize the difference between hypertonic and hypotonic solutions.

sorry if the grammer is bad i tried my best.

In E. coli, there is a mutation in a gene called dnaB that alters the helicase that normally acts at the origin of replication.
kvasek [131]

Answer:

When helicase mutations occur, problems in DNA replication are found. The helicases are proteins that open the 2 strands of DNA to initiate the duplication, they are responsible for breaking the hydrogen bonds between the two DNA chains, thus separating the chains, also they have the function of repairing DNA mutations, if there is mutation in the gene that encodes them, various functions will be absent in the cell.
