There are many different types of diffusion that occur in the body however in general they all are the process of a substance moving from an area of high concentration of that substance to and area of low concentration of that substance across a semi-permeable membrane such as the plasma membrane of cells. An example of where this happens is where Oxygen diffuses out of the blood and into the cells of the body lining the capillaries to provide oxygen for respiration.<span />

Thymine in DNA occurs as the result of thymidylate synthase creating _______, which then undergoes _______ to _______, then to _
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

Thymine in DNA occurs as the result of thymidylate synthase creating deoxythymidine monophosphate (dTMP), which then undergoes phosphorylation to deoxythymidine diphosphate (dTDP), then to Deoxythymidine triphosphate (dTTP), and incorporated into DNA by the DNA polymerase (DNA pol). Thymine in tRNA arises post-transcriptionally, by S-adenosylmethionine-dependent methylation of a uridine 5'-monophosphate (UMP) residue in RNA.

Explanation:

Thymidylate synthase is an enzyme involved in <em>de novo</em> DNA synthesis. This enzyme (thymidylate synthase) catalyzes the transfer of the one-carbon group from 5,10-methylene-tetrahydrofolate (5,10-CH2-THF) to deoxyuridine monophosphate (dUMP) and subsequent methylation to produce deoxythymidine monophosphate (dTMP), which is then phosphorylated to deoxythymidine triphosphate (dTTP) by kinases and incorporated into DNA. On the other hand, specific tRNA methylases catalyze the methylation of transference RNA (tRNA) by using S-adenosylmethionine as a methyl donor. Since tRNA methylation is a post-transcriptional modification, this chemical reaction is considered an epitranscriptomic modification on the RNA molecule.
