The diagram below shows some of the steps in protein synthesis.

Biology
1 answer:
Zinaida [17]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

According to the diagram shown, the section of DNA used to make the mRNA strand is known as a gene (option 2).

Explanation:

Gene consists of a DNA fragment that codes for the synthesis of a specific protein that defines the structural or functional trait of a living being.

When DNA is transcribed into mRNA, each section of transcribed DNA is part of a gene. The information travels to ribosomes in the cytoplasm where protein synthesis occurs.

A complete DNA molecule forms a chromosome, which contains the genes with information to define specific traits of a species.

The other options are not correct because:

<em>     1.Carbohydrate is a biomolecule that is not involved in the genetic process. </em>

<em>     3. Ribosome is where protein synthesis occurs. </em>

<em>     4. Chromosome is the complete DNA molecule.</em>

Which characteristic of viruses prevents them from being used as evidence to support cell theory?
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Viruses replicate only inside host cells.

Explanation:

<u>Viruses are not used as evidence to support the cell theory because they are not considered a cell and cannot carry out vital life processes without getting into host cells. </u>

According to the cell theory, the cell is the basic unit of life, all living organisms are made up of cells and cells arose from preexisting cells. A virus that is not in a host cell is just a piece of DNA/RNA surrounded by a protein coat and is not capable of carrying out any life process for it to be considered living.

<em>Viruses are only able to reproduce and multiply when they get access to a living host. They use the genetic mechanisms of the host to replicate their DNA/RNA using the lytic or lysogenic cycle. Hence, they are not used to support the cell theory. </em>
