Answer:

Large trees cannot grow in the polar regions, because the active layer (under the surface) is too thin, therefore the roots aren't able to grow.

Answer:

Permafrost areas have very cold air temperatures, thin topsoil, and most water is frozen during the winter. ... Tundra is found at high latitudes and at high altitudes, where the permafrost has a very thin active layer. The active layer of tundra is too thin for trees to grow, because it cannot support a tree's roots.

Which statements describe gene therapy? Check all that apply.

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

The correct answer would be

It cures all cases of cystic fibrosis.
It involves the modification of DNA.
It attempts to replace a mutated gene with normal DNA.
It does not always cure patients who use it.

Gene therapy is an experimental technique used to treat the genetic disorder by transplanting the normal gene into the cell in order to replace the missing or defective gene in a cell.

It helps in treating genetic disorders such as cystic fibrosis, hemophilia et cetera.

It can be of two types of somatic gene therapy and germline gene therapy.

Which step in translation initiation is unique to eukaryotes? which step in translation initiation is unique to eukaryotes? bind

Hitman42 [59]

The step in translation initiation that is unique to the eukaryotes is:

formation of the preinitiation complex ribosome assembly

Here are the processes involved in the Translation Initiation of Eukaryotes

1) 5'cap is used to position the mRNA on the 40S ribosomal subunit
2) ribosome scans down the mRNA looking for an AUG.
3) There is an initiator methionine-tRNA
4) The initiating AUG codon is often within a consensus sequence called the Kozak sequence (5'-ACCAUGG-3')
5) After binding the cap, ribosomes scan down the mRNA until the Kozak sequence is reached and translation begins
6)The poly (A) tail and 5'-cap binding proteins help the initiation complex form
