Answer:

Options (C) and (D)

Explanation:

The oceanic crust is usually about 5-10 km thick and is comprised of rocks that are basaltic in nature. These rocks are primarily made of minerals such as iron (Mg) and magnesium (Mg) and a comparatively lesser amount of silicate materials. Much of the oceanic rocks are destroyed due to the constant plate tectonic movement. It has been found that the oldest oceanic rocks found on the earth's crust is about 180 million years old only. The new oceanic crust often forms along the mid-oceanic ridge in a divergent type of plate motion, where new materials are added to the crust. Those rocks that are present along the mid-oceanic ridge are the younger rocks and those that are away are the oldest rocks. These oceanic crust are comprised of the volcanoes that form adjacent to the convergent plate boundary.

Thus, the correct answer is options (C) and (D). Brainelst please

What can plant reproduction tell us about the evolution of plants?
Elenna [48]

Answer:

Reproduction is important in plants to produce their progeny and to maintain its population. Plant reproduction helps to maintain its birth rate and sustain the ecosystem. Reproduction helps to acquire new variations and adapt to the environment with the most desirable characters.

The chemical mechanisms used to avoid errors in protein synthesis are different from those used during DNA replication. DNA poly
Savatey [412]

Answer:

(C) Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases have an additional active site that binds to non-cognate tRNAs. The tRNAs that bind to this second active are hydrolyzed and released from the enzyme.

Explanation:

In case of translation, proof reading is done by aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases only. Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases have two mechanisms to avoid error during translation which are mentioned as under:

<u>(1) Chemical proof reading:</u> Incorrect amino acids rather than being hydrolyzed in catalytic pocket get hydrolyzed in editing pocket and thus they hardly get attached to tRNA.  

For example: For distinguishing similar amino acids like isoleucine and valine, isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase uses a second active site which is meant for only valine not for isoleucine. In this particular site, valine which had entered the enzyme is cleaved away with the help of editing reaction after which the enzyme is well prepared to process isoleucine which is the correct amino acid for this enzyme.

<u>(2) Kinetic proof reading: </u>Even if an incorrect amino acid has entered a particular aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase, it does not cause appropriate conformational change in the enzyme because of which the incorrect amino acid loosens from the enzyme and does not get incorporated.

Note: In this example, only chemical proof reading is mentioned not kinetic proof reading.
