Answer: Electron transport chain is a final stage of aerobic cellular respiration that involves the formation of large amount of ATP ( adenosine triphosphate) that is the energy currency of the cell.

It takes place in the inner mitochondrial membrane. Electrons are passed through various protein complexes present in the inner mitochondrial membrane.

When this happens, protein complexes push protons from mitochondrial matrix to the inter-membrane space, creating a proton gradient outside. ATP synthase is a final protein complex that forms ATP using the concentration gradient of protons.

If an organism has high biological fitness in one environment, does that mean that it would also have high biological fitness in
Marina86 [1]

The answer is no, high biological fitness in one environment doesn’t have to be high in another environment.

Biological fitness is a term used in evolutionary biology and it is the quantitative representation of how a genotype (or phenotype) is successful (reproductively) in a certain environment. Fitness depends on environment so it changes if the environment changes. The fitness of a genotype is manifested through its phenotype, which is affected by the environment.

Which of the following statements about eukaryotic mRNA processing is not correct?
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-D.

Explanation:

In eukaryotes, the process of transcription takes place inside the nucleus whereas translation takes place in the cytosol. So, mRNA has to export to the cytosol from the nucleus.

Before export, the post-transcriptional modification takes place like 5' capping, 3' tailing and splicing mechanism.

The capping is done at 5' end by adding modified guanine (G) nucleotide which protects the mRNA from exonuclease activity and tailing is done at 3' end by adding adenine nucleotides which provides stability to the mRNA.Splicing removes the junk DNA called introns and joins the exons before export.

Thus, option-D is the correct answer.
