Answer:
mRNA: Carry genetic information from DNA to protein; serve as template for protein synthesis.
tRNA: Serves as adapter molecule and deliver specific amino acid from the cell pool to the mRNA-ribosome complex.
rRNA: Structural component of ribosomes.
Explanation:
There are three types of nongenetic RNAs: mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA.
1. The messenger RNA (mRNA) is formed by the process of transcription in the nucleus. Transcription uses template strand of DNA to specify the nucleotide sequence in mRNA. The mRNA enters cytoplasm to join ribosomes. The nucleotide sequence of mRNA serves as a template and specifies the amino acid sequence of proteins.
2. The transfer RNA (tRNA) serves as an adapter molecule during the process of protein synthesis and binds to the specific amino acids to deliver them to the protein-synthesizing machinery. The anticodon of tRNA binds to the complementary mRNA codons.
3. The ribosomal RNA (rRNA) serves as structural components for ribosomes. Each of the subunits of ribosomes is made up of rRNA and proteins.
No. The answer is C, 1/4.
Nucleic acids also typically contain phosphorous, and nitrogen plays an important structural role in nucleic acids and proteins. The proteins, being made up a diverse set of amino acids, have, in addition to carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen, the elements sulfur and selenium.
Answer: option B) Sympatric speciation is best described as a random event that disrupts the allele frequencies in a population.
Explanation:
Sympatric speciation is an event/situation whereby organisms of the same species:
- live in the same territory or nearby territories ( i.e do not live in geographical isolation)
- DO NOT interbreed, but select a sexual mate from a much diverse territory to yiels new species or offsprings that are genetically different from their parents, and causing uneven gene flow or disruption of alleles known to have been prevalent among the parent organisms
So, only option B is true
According to the theory of evolution, most of Earth's current species developed from distinctly different species which existed earlier in time.
