Cytosine(C) binds with Guanine(C)

Adenine(A) binds with Thymine(T)

a.From here we can deduct that there are the same number of nucleotides of guanine that as cytosine=>G=45 base pairs

b.2A=100-G-C

   2A=100-90 2A=10 A=5 base pairs

The region of the transcript from the 5’ cap to the nucleode just upstream of the start codon is called the 5’ untranslated regi
nignag [31]

In prokaryotes the 5' UTR is 3-10 nucleotides.

In Eukaryotes the 5'UTR is 100 to many thousand nucleotides long.

Explanation:

Leader sequence or 5' UTR starts at transcription site and ends at the initiation codon just one nucleotide away from it.

It is present in mRNA.

These are GC rich and form secondary structure, helps in protein synthesis.

Shine Dalgarno sequence in prokaryotes is an example of 5'UTR.

It acts as an entry point of ribosome.

The disease diabetes mellitus is due to either destruction of the cells that produce insulin or a decrease in sensitivity of tar
jenyasd209 [6]

Explanation:

Diabetes mellitus results from a deficiency in the amount of insulin released from the pancreas in response to glucose (type I) or from a decrease in the ability of muscle and fat cells to respond to insulin (type II). In both types, the regulation of blood glucose is impaired, leading to persistent hyperglycemia and numerous other possible complications in untreated patients such as tissue damage, raises the risk of heart-attack, kidney disease and vision deterioration. Type I diabetes is caused by an autoimmune process that destroys the insulin-producing B cells in the pancreas. Also called insulin-dependent diabetes, this form of the disease is generally responsive to insulin therapy. Most Americans with diabetes mellitus have type II, but the underlying cause of this form of the disease is not well understood.
