Answer:
<em>fragile X syndrome </em>
Explanation:
<em>FMR1 gene mutations</em><em> trigger fragile X syndrome.</em>The gene FMR1 offers instructions on how to make a protein called FMRP.
This gene helps to control the output of other proteins and plays a part in the growth of synapses that are specific nerve cell connections.
It creates a <em>variety of developmental issues including intellectual disabilities and cognitive impairment.</em> This disease usually affects males more significantly than women.
The correct answer is "C."
mRNA stands for messenger Ribonucleic acid. The role of mRNA is to carry genetic information for the synthesis of protein from the nucleus after transcription.
After the transcription process is over, the mRNA leaves the nucleus and heads to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm where translation of this information takes place.
The ribosomes are the work bench of the cell. They receive the mRNA with its coded information, read it and translate it and with the help of tRNA (transfer RNA), amino acids are fetched from the cytoplasm and linked together to form the exact protein that was coded for on the mRNA.
Answer: Vestigial structures
Explanation: Vestigial structures are an anatomical feature or behavior that no longer seem to have any purpose in the present form of an organism in the given species. Usually, they are often parts of the body that used to preform important functions in earlier forms of the organism.
Answer:
The purine ring is built onto ribose-5-phosphate of PRPP for its de-novo nucleotide biosynthesis, while the ring structure of the pyrimidine bases are synthesized separately and then coupled to ribose-5-phosphate via the C-N glycosidic bond.
Explanation:
In the de novo synthesis of nucleotides, their metabolic precursors such as aminoacids, ribose-5-phosphate, CO₂ and NH₃ are used as starting materials.
In purine nucleotide synthesis, the ring structure is built up on ribose-5-phosphate of PRPP by addition of one or a few atoms one at a time starting with the amino group donated by glutamine until the first intermediate inosinate is synthesized.
In pyrimidine ring synthesis, orotate is first synthesized from carbamoyl phosphate and aspartate, and then is attached to ribose-5-phosphate of PRPP, before it is then converted to the common pyrimidine nucleotides starting from uridylate.
