Hare population goes up which means more food for the lynx population. The lynx population then goes up as well.
Answer;
High-energy electrons pump hydrogen ions against the concentration gradient.
Explanation;
-The electron transport chain sets up a proton concentration gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane, with more protons outside the membrane.
-As a result of this gradient, the protons are waiting to get across the membrane. This happens through the transmembrane protein ATP synthase, which uses the energy moving protons through its pore to add a phosphate to ADP, thus producing ATP.
I am not sure if I am right but, I think it is called the desertification process.
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:
2 chromosomes
Explanation:
The cell of an eukaryotic organism like roundworm contains the Nucleus, which harbors the genetic material embedded in the chromosome. The number of chromosomes of that organism is contained in each cell.
Somatic cells, also called body cells, are all other cells asides sperm and eggs, that form the tissues and organs of an organism. Somatic cells are usually diploid i.e two sets of chromosomes from each parent. In this question, the roundworm has 4 chromosomes in its somatic cell.
The reproductive cells or sex cells (sperm and eggs) of an organism always result from meiotic division of specialized cells.
Since meiosis is a kind of division that results in cells with their chromosome number reduced by half (haploid), it therefore means that the ovum and sperm cell will be expected to contain 2 chromosomes each.
This way, when fertilization occurs (sperm and egg fusion), the resulting zygote, which will eventually develop into an adult organism, will have 4 chromosomes.
