'RNA is transcribed and translated in the cytoplasm', 'transcription produces an mRNA ready for translation' and 'RNA is proofread for errors' occur in prokaryotes, whereas '5′ cap, 3' poly-(A) tail and RNA splicing' occur in eukaryotes.

The prokaryotic cells (e.g., bacterial cells) do not contain cell nuclei, thereby the messenger RNA (mRNA) must be transcribed and translated in the cytoplasm.

During prokaryotic transcription, the RNA transcript is proofread for errors. In bacteria, DNA polymerases proofread the transcript by using their 3’ → 5’ exonuclease activity.

In eukaryotic cells, RNA processing consists of several mechanisms:

  • A 7-methylguanosine cap (5′ cap) is added to the 5′ end of the precursor messenger RNA (pre-mRNA).

  • A 3' poly-Adenine (A) tail is added to the 3' end of the pre-mRNA.

  • Both the 5′ cap and 3' poly-(A) tail protect the RNA transcript from its degradation by exonucleases.

  • Eukaryotic RNA splicing consists of the removal of non-coding regions called 'introns' and subsequent splicing of the protein-coding regions called 'exons'.

What are the building blocks (subunits)of each biomolecule?
Mamont248 [21]
<span>The four biological macromolecules are carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acid. These macromolecules are known as polymers and are built when monomers join together by a process known as the dehydration reaction. The dehydration reaction is a chemical reaction that produces water (H2O) and the result is the covalent bonding of the two monomer molecules. The monomer molecules consist of nutrients found in the soil, as in the case of plants, and the intake of food as in the case of animals.

Biodiversity decreases the stability of an ecosystem and decreases the
Effectus [21]

Answer: false

because Biodiversity is the biological variety and variability of life on Earth. Biodiversity is a measure of variation at the genetic, species, and ecosystem level. Terrestrial biodiversity is usually greater near the equator, which is the result of the warm climate and high primary productivity.

Under what environmental conditions would a zygote not undergo meiosis
sashaice [31]

A zygote will not undergo meiosis in an environmental state that is not favorable for the zygote’s survival i.e. the chance of the zygote to survive is not certain. Take for example, chlamydomonas will form a zygote under normal asexual mitotic reproduction in a favorable environmental condition. However, under unfavorable environmental conditions the organism also reproduce sexually to form a zygote but will never proceed to meiotic division because of the unfavorable environmental state.
