The cellular process of creating two new DNA molecules from one original copy is called replication. Which statement is the BEST description of this process? A) DNA opens up and RNA copies it. B) DNA opens up and completely unwinds to make two new molecules. C) DNA opens up and each strand is used as a template for a new strand. D) RNA opens up the DNA and uses each strand as a template for a new strand.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:


The correct answer is C.

In replication, an initiator protein unwinds a short length of  the DNA double helix. Next, an enzyme known as helicase attaches itself  to the unwound helix and begins to break the hydrogen bonds  between the base pairs of the two DNA strands, thereby pulling them apart to form a Y  shape called a replication fork. The two separated strands act as  templates for making the new strands of DNA.

An enzyme DNA polymerase then binds to one of  the strands called the leading strand because it is the one oriented in the 3'  5' direction (towards the replication fork) and begins walking along it adding new complementary bases to it. After the new strand is proof read by DNA Polymerase, it is sealed  up by  DNA ligase, an enzyme specific for this task.

The other strand called the lagging strand because it faces way from the from the replication fork in 5' 3' direction also undergoes the same process with a few minor differences to produce the other new complementary strand.

The absorption and distribution of materials within an organism is a life function known as

Answers

Answer:

Transport

Explanation:

Living organisms are characterized by essential day-to-day activities which they undergo to sustain their life. One of these life processes is called TRANSPORT, which involves the circulation and absorption of nutrients.

Transportation is a life process where substances synthesized or absorbed in one part of the body are carried to other parts of the body. This life process is important in plant and animals as it leads to movement of nutrient, water, mineral, gases etc. In humans, circulatory system is responsible for this process of transportation.

I believe it would be called Transport 

The one-cell zygote, traveling slowly down the fallopian tube towards the uterus, begins to duplicate and multiply. At about the eight-cell stage, the process of differentiation begins, early cells take on distinct characteristics and move toward particular locations, foreshadowing the types of cells they will become. These early cells, capable of becoming any part of an organism, are known as:_______.

Answer:

Embryonic Stem cell

Explanation:

Stem cells are the multipotent cell which can give rise to a variety of other cells and can form different tissues. The stem cells are present in the embryo and the well-developed adult organism, therefore, is known as the embryonic stem cell and the adult stem cell.

In the given case, after the blastocyst stage of embryo is formed, the cells present in the inner side of the blastocyst possess the ability to form different organs and therefore are called embryonic stem cells.

Thus, embryonic stem cell is correct

Which of the following statements correctly describes the targeting of proteins to the mitochondrial matrix or the nucleus? A. Proteins targeted to the nucleus are unfolded while being inserted into the nucleus and are refolded within the nucleus. Proteins targeted to the mitochondrial matrix are completely folded into the cytoplasm and remain completed folded when they are transported into the mitochondrial matrix. B. Proteins targeted to the mitochondrial matrix are unfolded while being inserted into the mitochondria and are refolded within the matrix. Proteins targeted to the nucleus are completely folded into the cytoplasm before they are transported to the nucleus. C. Both mitochondrial matrix and nuclear proteins are folded only after they reach their destinations. D. Both mitochondrial matrix and nuclear proteins are co-translationally targeted to their destinations. E. None of these statements are correct.

Answers

Answer:

B.

Explanation:

Final Answer:

Proteins targeted to the mitochondrial matrix are unfolded during transport and refolded within the matrix, while proteins targeted to the nucleus are fully folded in the cytoplasm before nuclear transport. So, The correct statement is B.  

Explanation:

Proteins targeted to the mitochondrial matrix are unfolded while being inserted into the mitochondria and are refolded within the matrix. Proteins targeted to the nucleus are completely folded into the cytoplasm before they are transported to the nucleus.

- Proteins targeted to the mitochondrial matrix are indeed unfolded while being inserted into the mitochondria. This unfolding allows them to pass through the mitochondrial membranes. Once inside the mitochondrial matrix, they can be refolded into their functional conformation.

- Proteins targeted to the nucleus are typically completely folded into their functional conformation in the cytoplasm before they are transported to the nucleus. The nuclear pore complex allows folded proteins to pass through while excluding unfolded ones.

So, The correct statement is B.

Some proteins on the surface of a mammalian cell contain carbohydrates. These proteins are synthesized by _______ and the sugars are added in the _______.a) cytoplasmic ribosomes; smooth endoplasmic reticulum

b) the Golgi apparatus; rough endoplasmic reticulum

c) ribosomes on the rough endoplasmic reticulum; Golgi apparatus

d) mitochondrial ribosomes; smooth endoplasmic reticulum

e) cytoplasmic ribosomes; plasma membrane

Answers

Answer:

c) Ribosomes on the rough endoplasmic reticulum; Golgi apparatus

Explanation:

Endoplasmic reticulum, a member of endomembrane system. If it contains ribosomes on their surface, they are called Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER). RER is the site for protein synthesis.

Newly formed protein undergoes modification, one such modification is the addition of carbohydrate side chains to form glycoprotein. The protein then moves to the Golgi for modification.
