Assuming that transcription and translation both proceed from left to right, which is the correct orientation of the DNA templat

aleksklad [387]

The correct answer is:

DNA template 3'– ……… –5'

RNA transcript 5'– ……… –3'

Protein product H2N– ……. –COOH

In nucleic acids, DNA and RNA 5’ end refers to phosphate group attached to the 5′ carbon of the ribose ring, while 3’ end refers to the ribose -OH substituent. Nucleic acids can only be synthesized in the 5′-to-3′ direction, which means that the DNA template is 3’—5’. Translation of the protein by the ribosome will also proceed in a 5′ to 3′ direction, which means that the mRNA template is 3’—5’.

The protein during the synthesis is extend from its N terminus toward its C terminus.

Which of these gymnosperms are known to be important in maintaining the balance of carbon in an ecosystem?

CaHeK987 [17]

The correct answer is: [D]:

___________________________________________________

→ " redwood tree forests " .

___________________________________________________

Note: Let us consider the other answer choices.

___________________________________________________

Choice: [A]: "garden flowering plants" ; is incorrect — since these are not generally considered to be part of a true or traditional "ecosystem" ; and especially since "garden flowering plants" are, in fact, "flowering plants" — which means that they are "angiosperms" — Not "gymnosperms ".

→ Rule out: " Choice: [A] " .

__________________________________________________

Choice: [B]: " ferns and liverworts " ; is incorrect — since both ferns — as well as liverworts — are Not "gymnosperms ".

Liverworts are "bryophytes" {which lack true vascular tissue] ; and ferns are "pterophytes" ["seedless vascular plants"].

→ Rule out: " Choice: [B] " .

___________________________________________________

Choice: [C]: " mosses and horsetails "; is incorrect ; since both mosses — as well as horsetails — are Not "gymnosperms ". Mosses are "bryophytes" (see aforementioned) ; and horsetails are "non-seed bearing plants" that spread vegetatively [underground; by asexual reproduction — and Not by seed .].

→ Rule out: " Choice: [C] " .

__________________________________________________

Choice: [D]: " redwood tree forests " ;

— is the only answer choice provided that is a "gymnosperm".

Furthermore, the "redwood tree" is a conifer (i.e. "coniferous; or, "cone-bearing" plant} that reproduces through seeds spread by "cone") — and all "conifers" are a type of "gymnosperm."

Furthermore, "redwood trees" grow large and tall, and redwood forest communities within an ecosystem; due to there size and presence, are: "known to be important in maintaining the balance of carbon in an ecosystem."

__________________________________________________

→ As such, the correct answer is:

__________________________________________________

→ Answer choice: [D]: " redwood tree forests " .
