Biology

Alla [95]2 years ago

  • Each alveolus is cup-shaped with very thin walls.
  • It’s surrounded by networks of blood vessels called capillaries that also have thin walls.
  • The oxygen you breathe in diffuses through the alveoli and the capillaries into the blood.
  • The carbon dioxide you breathe out is diffused from the capillaries to the alveoli, up the bronchial tree and out your mouth.
  • The alveoli are just one cell in thickness, which allows the gas exchange of respiration to take place rapidly.

Discuss the role played by transcription during replication. ​
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

Transcription is the process by which the information in a strand of DNA is copied into a new molecule of messenger RNA (mRNA). DNA safely and stably stores genetic material in the nuclei of cells as a reference, or template. Meanwhile, mRNA is comparable to a copy from a reference book because it carries the same information as DNA but is not used for long-term storage and can freely exit the nucleus. Although the mRNA contains the same information, it is not an identical copy of the DNA segment, because its sequence is complementary to the DNA template.
