Answer:

The acronym mRNA means messenger ribonucleic acid, the nucleic acid responsible for transporting genetic information to the ribosome so that protein synthesis can occur.

Explanation:

Messenger ribonucleic acid or mRNA, is a nucleic acid responsible for containing the genetic code, organizing it into codons —depending on the specific sequence of nitrogenous bases— and taking it to the ribosome for translation and initiation of protein synthesis.

A codon is a sequence of three mRNA nucleotides, each of which encodes a specific amino acid, in addition to:

  • <em>Marking the start of protein synthesis, by means of the UAC start codon, which also encodes for amino acid methionine (MET). </em>
  • <em>Indicate the stop of protein synthesis, by means of the STOP codons </em>—<em>UAA, UAG and UGA</em>— <em>which do not code for amino acids. </em>

This can be seen in the table:

  1. The first line is the sequence of nitrogenous bases of one of the DNA strands.
  2. The second line should indicate the sequence of complementary bases of the other DNA strand, which will be transcribed. However, the presence of uracil indicates that it is the mRNA transcribed
  3. The third line is the sequence of nitrogenous bases in the mRNA strand, organized in triplets or codons.
  4. The fourth line expresses each of the amino acids and instructions found in the mRNA fragment that was transcribed methionine (start), lysine, tryptophan, proline and STOP (although GUU encodes the amino acid valine and is not a STOP codon).

The t cell receptor (tcr) type of antigen vs. ig (bcr) type of antigen
Tresset [83]
<span>T cells are a class of leukocytes that play a large role in the secondary immune response. "T" is the abbreviation of the thymus, the organ in which their development ends.
They are responsible for cellular immunity: cells infected with a virus, for example, or cancer cells are known to be foreign to the body (that is, distinct from the cells that T cells have learned to tolerate when maturation) is destroyed by a complex mechanism.
T-cell needs the antigen MHC I molecule (present in all the nucleated cells), to be activated.
While The B cell needs the antigen presented by MHC II molecule present in antigen presenting cells.

</span>T-cells bind 1 type of antigen (which is an endogenous antigen, as opposed to B cell which bind exogenous antigen) which must be presented by another cell.<span>

What is one role of ATP in the light-independent reaction of photosynthesis?
azamat
Adenosine Triphosphate is a compound used by the cell to store energy. Together with NADP, ATP is responsible for carbon dioxide reduction. Carbon dioxide is said to be reduced when it loses oxygen, reacts with hydrogen or gains electrons. Carbon dioxide becomes part of Glycerate 3-phosphate.
