The Pacific Plate, which drives much of the tectonic activity in the Ring of Fire, is cooling off. Scientists have discovered th

at the youngest parts (about 2 million years old) are cooling off, contracting faster than the older parts of the plate (about 100 million years old.) The younger parts of the plate are the most active parts of the Ring of Fire.
What idea is the BEST supported by this paragraph?
(a)Movement from the contraction of the cool plates is contributing to tectonic activity in the Ring of Fire.
(b)the youngest parts of the plates will stay very cool completely and stop their tectonic activity.
(c)Most older parts of the Ring of Fire have stopped and will soon cool completely and stop their tectonic activity.
(d)The pacific plate has both the oldest and the youngest active volcanoes in the entire world.

what are the drawbacks to only regulating at the transcriptional level and not the translational level or protein level?
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

Energy and Cellular Space

When gene Gene expression at( transnational level )  is regulated it ensures <u>energy and  cellular space conservation</u>, If a gene  were to be  regulated at each time  after transcription, then significant amount of ATPs beyond the synthetic capacity of the cells will be needed, the cells will  need large surface to accommodate the  mechanism s. Thus  regulation  saves more energy and space to regulate gene expression. by turning on  genes when needed to expressed and off when not needed.

Sequence of Gene

In addition,  for the  timely synthesis of  exact copies of protein needed  by the cells   for various cellular activities;  it is important  for cells to regulate and control how the DNA  is translated to the required proteins. If this mechanisms were not regulated  deletion ,  addition of  nitrogenous bases  in  gene sequence  during translation may lead to mutations and  therefore  wrong coding of the needed protein in the cells.

Protein Quantity

Furthermore, the need to know the quantity of protein to synthesize, when to stop the synthesis,  necessitated  regulation of the process.If required amount is not expressed wrong  amino acids units will be synthesized leading to abnormalities in hormones and enzymes.
