Answer:

When viruses attack cells, they release genetic material that is coded to multiply, then the cells divide and more viruses are spread, the viruses do not eat.

How does natural selection lead to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria?

choli [55]

Answer:

Antibiotic resistance is a consequence of evolution via natural selection. The antibiotic action is an environmental pressure; those bacteria which have a mutation allowing them to survive will live on to reproduce. They will then pass this trait to their offspring, which will be a fully resistant generation.

Survival of the Fittest (Natural Selection):

When bacteria are initially exposed to an antibiotic, those most susceptible to the antibiotic will die quickly, leaving any surviving bacteria to pass on their resistant features to succeeding generations.

Explain why an mRNA transcribed from the template strand of the SIRT3 gene in normal stomach ( NS ) cells is translated to produ

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Explanation:

The double-stranded DNA molecule has the potential to store genetic information in either strand, although in most organisms <u>only one strand is used to encode any particular gene</u>.

The template strand is the non-coding strand. The coding strand of DNA is the non-template (mRNA-like) strand (see attachment).

Thus, genetic information is expressed by transcription of the non-coding (template) strand of DNA, <u>which produces an mRNA molecule that has the same sequence as the coding strand of DNA</u>. Therefore, if a mRNA is transcribed from the non-template strand, the genetic information will not be contained in that strand and it would not produce a correct protein.
