Please state the following :)
Answer:
a. True
Explanation:
Ribosomes are ribonucleoprotein complexes composed of RNA and proteins, which have two main roles 1-decode the message of the messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule and the formation of peptide bonds in the protein. For this purpose, each triplet of nucleotide bases or 'codon' in the mRNA sequence is used to assemble specific amino acids in the nascent polypeptide chain. Although different, both prokaryotic ribosomes and eukaryotic ribosomes are composed of two subunits: one small subunit that decodes the mRNA into a specific amino acid chain, and one large subunit that forms the peptide bonds in the polypeptide chain. Each ribosomal subunit is in turn composed of ribosomal RNAs and proteins. These ribosomal RNAs act as scaffolds by combining with proteins that assemble into ribosomes (i.e., small and large ribosome subunits).
Answer:
1. asexual, mitosis 2. sexual 3. gametes, meiosis 4. haploid 5. sex cells
Explanation:
Asexual reproduction is the form of reproduction that occurs whereby there is no fusion of gametes or a change in the number of chromosomes. The produced daughter cells are genetically similar to the parent. the form of cell division that occurs here is through a process of mitosis.
Different organisms adopt different type of asexual reproduction including binary fission, spore formation, fragmentation etc.
Sexual reproduction in contrast generates genetically unique organism through the fusion of two different organisms sex cells. To accomplish sexual reproduction, gametes that are haploid through a process of meiosis must be produced which are the egg cell and the sperm cells (the sex cells). These haploid cells are produced only in the germ cells to ensure the production of a diploid zygote.
