DNA polymerase has multiple mechanisms for editing and error correction whereas the capacity for error correction in RNA polymer
BigorU [14]

The given question is incomplete as the option are not provided however, the correct options are as follows:

Defective proteins are often degraded quickly, making their effects temporary.

Single amino acid substitutions caused by errors in mRNA transcription would not affect protein function.

Unlike DNA mutations, mRNA transcripts have short half-lives and are not inherited across many generations.

Degradation of defective proteins activates mRNA repair pathways RNA polymerases synthesize many transcripts per gene, so only a small fraction of RNA transcripts would have errors.

ch mRNA molecule is only translated once and then degraded

Answer:

The correct answer is - statements 1, 3, and 4.

Explanation:

DNA polymerase is the enzyme that is responsible for the production of the new DNA molecule and any mutation in this enzyme that will inhibit the DNA repair process which affects future generations.

RNA polymerase is an enzyme that is responsible for the transcription of DNA to mRNA and any error-prone mRNAs have chances of degradation. Error in DNA replication is from generation to generation as it is inherited

The process of transcription is quick.

Arrange according from largest to smallest in size:
Inessa [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is "Redwood tree; human being; Paramecium; White Blood Cell; Escherichia coli; Chickenpox virus; Ribosome; Prion fibril; Water molecule; Sulfur atom".

Explanation:

Redwood trees are gigantic trees, and its size can reach up to 90 meters.

The average size of a human being is 1.7 meters for males and 1.6 meters for females.

Paramecium are members of the protozoa genus, among the largest unicellular algae. Its average size is among 50 to 330 micrometers.

White Blood Cell are up to 17 micrometers in diameter.

Escherichia coli is a type of bacteria, as a prokaryotic organism is much more smaller than a eukaryotic cell such asa the white blood cell. Escherichia coli is up to 2 micrometers in diameter.

Chickenpox virus are among the largest viruses, they are from 150 to 200 nanometers in diameter.

Ribosomes vary on size depending if they are Prokaryotic or Eukaryotic, where the first are up to 20 nanometers and the second are up to 30 nanometers.

Prion fibrils are aggregates comprised of several protein units. It size varies depending on the number of proteins, but the ones containing around 200 units can reach up to 27 nanometers.

Water molecule is comprised of two atoms of oxygen and one atom of hydrogen, its size is measured with picometers (1 picometer is equal to 1000 nanometers). A water molecule has a size of 275 picometers.

Sulfur atom is the smallest in the list. Its size is around 100 picometers.

Le châtelier's principle states that if a stress is applied to a system in dynamic equilibrium, the system _____ to relieve the
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

Le châtelier's principle states that if a stress is applied to a system in dynamic equilibrium, the system changes to relieve the stress.

Explanation:

This principle shows that when we change a system in equilibrium, it will seek to acquire a new state that nullifies this disturbance. Thus, there is a displacement of equilibrium, that is, a search for a new equilibrium situation, favoring one of the senses of the reaction. If it favors the direct reaction, with formation of more product, we say that the equilibrium has shifted to the right. However, it is said that it shifted to the left if the reverse reaction was favored, with formation of reagents.
