The process of RNA editing is the alteration of the sequence of nucleotides in the RNA after it has been transcribed from DNA, but before it is translated into a protein. RNA editing occurs by two distinct mechanisms:<em><u /><u>Substitution</u> <u>editing </u></em>and <u><em>Insertion/</em></u><em></em><u><em>deletion</em></u><em> <u>editing</u></em>.
<u><em>Substitution editing</em></u> is the chemical alteration of individual nucleotides. These alterations are catalyzed by enzymes that recognize a specific target sequence of nucleotides:
*Cytidine Deaminases that convert a C in the RNA to uracil.
*<em />adenosine deaminases that convert an A to inosine,which the ribosome translates as a G.<span>Thus a CAG codon</span><span> (for Gln) can be converted to a CGG codon (for Arg).
<em><u>*Insertion/deletion editing</u></em><em><u /></em><u /> is the insertion or deletion of nucleotides in an RNA.
These alterations are mediated by guide RNA molecules that base-pair as best they can with the RNA to be edited and serve as a template for the addition( or removal) in the target.</span>
Answer:
Bio gas
Explanation:
Bio gas is gotten from the anaerobic breaking down of biomass especially animal waste.
PROS:
A. it is renewable: biogas is renewable and has an endless supply of material since animals are the main source when compared to fossil fuels.
B. It doesn't involve a rigorous mining exersice to get to like fossil fuels and it is in accessible abundance.
CON:
A. A lot of waste is needed for the product of biogas and the final waste (sludge) from the production process can be a huge problem to dispose off.
B. Some of the gases liberated in the manufacturing process are greenhouse gas, especially methane. These gases if let out, will contribute immensly to global warming.
Answer:
Plants absorb carbondioxide gas from atmosphere whereas respiration releases carbondioxide .
Explanation:
Carbon is present in the atmosphere in the form of carbondioxide gas which is used by the plants in the process of photosynthesis. Plants takes carbondioxide gas from the surrounding air through small openings called stomata and made their own food while on the other hand, carbondioxide gas is released from the body of living organisms in the process of cellular respiration. In cellular respiration, food is broken down with the help of oxygen forming water, carbondioxide gas and energy in the form of ATP molecules.
Answer: c. Part of an ecosystem
Explanation: the fish, crustaceans, molluscs and bacteria are part of a community, but sand is not. Each of those species is part of a population.
