Answer:
D. After a gene is transcribed, introns are removed from the pre-mRNA to form the mRNA that is translated.
Explanation:
According to this question, a gene was sequenced by scientists from an eukaryotic organism. Brendan claims he can conclude the resulting protein after the transcription and trans of the gene.
It is true that transcription and translation are the processes that a gene undergo in order to be expressed i.e. produce protein. However, a gene sequence contains both the coding and non-coding regions in it. The coding regions code for a protein and are called EXONS in the mRNA while the non-coding regions do not encode proteins and are called INTRONS in the mRNA.
These introns are removed from the mRNA molecule that results from the transcription of a gene. The mRNA undergoes a process called SPLICING, which removes the non-coding part of the mRNA (introns) and joins the coding parts (exons).
Hence, if this occurs, Brendan will not be able to accurately conclude the resulting protein from that gene sequence because a portion of that gene will still be removed during SPLICING of post-transcriptional processing.
Answer:
chloroplasts
Explanation:
In particular, organelles called chloroplasts allow plants to capture the energy of the Sun in energy-rich molecules; cell walls allow plants to have rigid structures as varied as wood trunks and supple leaves; and vacuoles allow plant cells to change size.
Answer:
The correct answer will be option B- cytosol.
Explanation:
Glycolysis is a series of reactions which breaks down the glucose (6C molecule) to pyruvates (3C molecule).
The reaction is the first stage of the aerobic respiration which proceeds in ten steps. The reactions take place in the "cytoplasm of the cell" of all organisms from micro-organisms to plant and animals.
Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.
Answer: A) changing the rate at which greenhouse gases are released from Earth's surface into the environment.
Explanation: Without vegetation (For example trees) the rate at which greenhouse gases, like carbon dioxide, are released from Earth's surface into the environment would skyrocket. Vegetation uses carbon dioxide in photosynthesis and converts it into oxygen, helping to absorb some of the greenhouse gases that would otherwise accumulate in our atmosphere. It essentially reduces the rate at which greenhouse gases are released into our atmosphere.
