Answer:

1. The central dogma of molecular biology is DNA >>transcription>> RNA >>translation>> protein

2. DNA replication refers to the genetic process of generating two identical DNA molecules from one DNA sequence. Recombination refers to the exchange of genetic material (DNA) between non-sister chromatids during cell division (meiosis)

Explanation:

Gene expression (also known as transcription) is the process by which a specific fragment of DNA called gene is used as template to synthesize an RNA molecule, usually a messenger RNA (mRNA), which is in turn used as template to create a protein. This final product (i.e., the protein) has an effect on the phenotype of the individual. The DNA template is a single-stranded ordered polynucleotide chain composed of four different types of nitrogenous bases: Adenine, Thymine, Guanine and Cytosine. In the complementary RNA molecule, Thymine bases are replaced by Uracil bases. Moreover, DNA replication refers to the process by which cells duplicate their genetic material before cell division (either mitosis or meiosis). During this process, both DNA strands are separated and each one is used as a template to synthesize a new DNA molecule. Finally, recombination or crossing over is a process where non-sister chromatids exchange genetic material during meiosis I (Prophase I). Recombination is known to increase genetic variation in resulting meiotic cells.

adell [148]

Answer:

B) cAMP

Explanation:

Phosphodiesterase is an enzyme that breaks a phosphodiester bond, for example in molecules such as cAMP and cGMP. So, phosphodiestarases are are regulators of signal transduction: regulate the duration of signaling pathway.

Caffeine is central-nervous-system stimulant and the mechanisms of its action usually are: mobilization of intracellular calcium or inhibition of specific phosphodiesterases.

How does human evolution or natural selection relate to the susceptibility of diseases?

deff fn [24]

This relates because at first the human species are vulnerable to the new disease but as natural selection in human evolution occurs the human species will be able to overcome the disease and become invulnerable.

If a cell contains 96 chromatids in metephase I of meiosis I, how many chromosomes will the daughter cells contain after meiosis

leva [86]

Answer:

After meiosis II each daughter cell contain 24 chromosomes.

Explanation:

Four daughter cells are produced in a single meiosis. so each cell recieve only 24 chromosomes.

What are the four criteria for life?

zavuch27 [327]

Planet earth is the only known region of the universe to host life and so the basic criteria for life is based on observations made here. For an entity to be considered a living organism it must contain DNA or some other means of storing genetic information. The second criteria is that it must have some way of extracting nutrients from its surroundings. The organism must be able to respond to environmental stimulus and last but not least it must be able to reproduce.

Answer:

There are lots of transitional organisms in the fossil record though it does take very specific and precise conditions for a fossil to be preserved, a deer that dies in a field will not end up in the fossil record so we are looking at a small sampling of the evidence (and a good thing too or there wouldn't be anywhere to walk with all the bones laying around)
