The propositions are:
a.alkylating agents
b.antimetabolites
c.topisomerase inhibitors
d.nucleoside analogs
e.<span>AZT

The right answer is A, 
An alkylating agent is a compound capable of adding alkyl groups to various electronegative groups under conditions present within the cells.

Antimetabolites are an anticancer drug but act differently than the alkylating agent. (interfere with folic acid)
Topoisomerase inhibitor acts by inhibiting isomerase, used in antibiotherapy (like quinolones).
Nucleoside analogs are analogs as their name says, it does not alkylate nucleotides.
AZT (</span><span>Zidovudine) is an antiretroviral drug that inhibits reverse transcriptase.</span>

DNA is found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells and the ribosomes, the location where proteins are made, are found out in the cy
Reika [66]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

<em>The DNA of eukaryotic organisms being present in the nucleus while the protein-synthesizing organelle, the ribosome being present in the cytoplasm poses a spatial problem. It means that transcribed DNAs (messenger RNA) in the nucleus would have to somehow be transported to the ribosome in order for the cell to successfully synthesize proteins.</em>

The problem of transporting the messenger RNA is solved by two features of the cell:

  • The presence of pores in the nuclear envelop
  • The presence of transport proteins in the nucleus

<u>The mRNA binds to the transport proteins to form mRNA-protein complexes and is transported through the nuclear pores, often with the assistance of ATP. </u>

Compare and contrast the evidence that supports the two hypotheses describing how long, complex molecules that carry information
Rudiy27

Oparin and Haldane's theory and Miller's experiment are the proof that long complex molecules that carry information such as DNA, might have formed on early earth.

Explanation:

Oparin and Haldane Hypothesis states that life on Early earth could have evolved by chemical evolution.

Oparin and Haldane said that the reducing atmosphere of the early earth caused simple inorganic molecules to react by using sunlight and formed molecules like amino acids and nucleotides.

These monomers combined to form polymers, they would have attained self-replicating tendency eventually these would have assembled into structures and these macromolecules had also made membrane-bound organelle.

Although this hypothesis is not fully accepted but part of it which talks about formation of molecules is accepted.

Millers and Urey in their experiment created an artificial reducing environment like that of early earth. They used a heated pool of water, atmospheric gases like H2O,CH4,N2, NH4 and sparks of electricity. After running the experiment for some days they found that amino acids, sugars, lipids and other organic molecules had formed.

Their hypothesis is not fully accepted but part of is evident that organic building block is formed from inorganic constituent on the earth.
