The researcher could look for the presence of proteins, because viruses have a envelope (capsid) composed of proteins that involve their genetic material. The capsid may have a helical or icosahedral structure and is extremely regular. Viroids cannot synthesize any type of protein, so differentiation is possible.
Answer: Assuming you mean 'Which of the following is the correct complementary RNA strand?' The answer is D.
Explanation: This is because RNA is A=U G=C T=A
Answer:
Proteins
Explanation:
Proteins are macromolecules composed of amino acids that perform multiple and varied functions in the body. Proteins that act as chemical messengers are present in the form of hormones, ligands, neurotransmitters, regulatory proteins and enzymes.
Genes code for proteins that in turn control all life processes. The differences we witness in individuals such as weight, height, skin color, intelligence etc are all due to our unique genetic code and a unique combination of proteins that these genes encode. Furthermore, the levels to which our genetic code is expressed is also regulated at the molecular level by proteins.
The bacterial genes are usually found in operons. Each operon comprises regulatory sequences of DNA that function as binding sites for regulatory proteins, which inhibit or encourage transcription. The regulatory proteins usually combine with small molecules that can make the protein inactive or active by altering its tendency to combine with DNA.
The four combinations of active or inactive regulatory proteins, which could be observed at any time in the cell are:
1. Active repressor, active activator,
2. Active repressor, inactive activator
3. Inactive repressor, active activator
4. Inactive repressor, inactive activator
