Plants showing hydrotropism grow in response to water.
14: Operons allow prokaryotes to replicate DNA at the appropriate time.
Operons are specific regions of genes that are linked to a singular process. They ensure that the expression of these genes does not go unchecked and only occurs when necessary. Two key examples of this in humans are the lac operon and trp operon.
15. The central dogma of molecular biology is:
DNA to RNA to Proteins
Protein Synthesis occurs in 3 steps.
First our DNA is translated into RNA. Next the RNA is sequenced into Amino Acids by reading the corresponding 3-Base Codons. These Amino Acid sequences form various protein structures.
<u>Answer:</u>
The correct answer is Uracil which is nitrogen base found in RNA.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Uracil is a nitrogenous base which is located within an RNA molecule but not within a DNA molecule.
Uracil, represented by the letters A, G, C and U, is one of the four nucleobases that are found in the nucleic acid of RNA which binds to adenine.
While thymine is present in the DNA and binds to adenine.
The answer to this is passive hyperemia.
Answer:
here.
Explanation:
Due to the prevalence of malaria in Africa, the allele for sickle cell anemia (HbS) provides a selective advantage. That's why it remains in the population.
A normal African person (HbAHbA), with normal haemoglobin, will not die of anemia, but will die of malaria.
An African person with sickle cell anemia (HbSHbS), with abnormal haemoglobin, will die of anemia.
A heterozygous African person (HbAHbS), with half of his red blood cells (RBCs) being normal and the other half being sickle-shaped, will neither die from anemia, nor malaria since the plasmodium will be incapable of completing its life cycle in the abnormal RBCs.
Thus heterozygous African people will grow, reproduce and pass on the HbS allele to the next generations.
