During the synthesis of messenger RNA (mRNA) from DNA, how many strands of DNA are copied to produce a single strand of mRNA

1 answer:

5 0

Woah this is middle school biology? I'm a college biochemistry major and this is something we only introduce at the end of the first semester. How wild???

Anyways, I believe that one of the two strands of the DNA helix is needed for mRNA to replicate the genetic code with DNA primerase. Other techniques require multiple strands but the transcription process only needs one so the answer is D. :)

What are some examples of metabolic processes in cells? (Choose all that apply)

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

Metabolism is a set of chemical reactions that they release energy for cellular processes.

Explanation:

Metabolic processes in cells are:

* Metabolism-the whole of all chemical processes, that is, the total turnover of matter and energy is called metabolism.

* Cellular respiration-a process in which organic matter is oxidized, whereby carbon dioxide, water, and energy in the form of ATP molecules are formed as end products of this oxidation.

You are carefully examining a living organism. Which of the following should convince you that the organism is acoelomate?

matrenka [14]

Muscular activity of its digestive system distorts the body wall should convince you that the organism is acoelomate.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

An animal that does not have body cavity refers to an acoelomate. It is in contrast with the eucoelomates which are the animals that have body cavity. The acoelomate will not have a cavity which is filled with fluid between the digestive tract and the body. Hence there will be a distortion of body wall by the muscular activity of the digestive system.

Some of the examples of acoelomate are Cnidaria,Porifera , Platyhelminthes, Placozoa ,Gnathostomulida.Nemertina and Mesozoa. The presence of pseudocoelom in which the body cavity will not be lined by the mesodermal cells are the Pseudocoelomate.
