How is gene regulation in prokaryotes and eukaryotes similar how is it different?
Triss [41]
Prokaryotes are unicellular (single-celled) organisms and on the other hand Eukaryotes are multicellular organisms and more developed in organ and structure compared to prokaryotes. Gene regulation is key to both organisms as it determines growth and development and other process and activities performed by the organism. However, the two organisms differ in the way they regulate their genes. Prokaryotes cells lack nucleus while the eukaryotic cells have a well defined nucleus. In Prokaryotes RNA transcription and protein formation occur almost simultaneously while in the Eukaryotes RNA transcription occur before the protein formation in the nucleus and then protein formation occurs in the cytoplasm. In addition both organisms uses the same processes in gene regulation  and only differ in the manner the processes are undertaken. Lastly, gene expression in prokaryotes is regulated at transcriptional level whereas in eukaryotes regulation is at many levels.

Which statement correctly describes the nuclear envelope of a eukaryotic cell? See Concept 6.3 (Page 102) View Available Hint(s)
netineya [11]

The correct answer is: The nuclear envelope is continuous with the endoplasmic reticulum

The nuclear envelope or nuclear membrane is composed of two phospholipid bilayers (outer and inner) that surround the nucleus in the eukaryotic cell. The space between the outer and inner membranes is called the perinuclear space. The nuclear envelop has nuclear pores that are responsible for the transport between nucleus and cytoplasm (e.g. transport of mRNA).

Bacteriophage: A virus that infects bacteria.

Antibiotics: Medicines are used to treat bacterial infections by killing the bacteria, and do not work on viruses.

Pathogenic: capable of causing disease.

A key intermediate in the catabolism of fatty acids with uneven numbers of carbon atoms is
enyata [817]

Answer: Propionly CoA

Explanation:

During oxidation of odd chain fatty acids, the odd chain are oxidized exactly in the same manner as even chains. However, after successive removal of 2 carbon units, at the end, one 3-carbon unit, propionyl CoA is formed.

Propionyl CoA is a product of beta oxidation of odd chain fatty acids.

In three steps reaction propionyl-CoA can be converted to succinyl-CoA, an intermediate of the citric acid cycle which is converted to oxaloacetate, and is used for gluconeogenesis.
