Scientists have found mesosaurus fossils (a prehistoric reptile) on the
each coast of South America and the west coast of South Africa. These
areas are now an ocean apart! Even though we know this animal could
swim, does the presence of mesosaurus fossils in two places support
Wegener's theory of continental drift? Explain your answer.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

It does not support Wegener's theory of continental drift. Africa and South America were the part of a same land mass at one time, which then got separated into two different land forms called North America and South America and drifted to different locations other than the one from where they originated. This occurred due to continental drift. The evidence of this phenomena can be observed in fossils that were found to be same in both land forms. This depicts that same type of organisms were living in both land forms. Hence, gives the evidence that land forms were related.

Transcription is the process of mRNA synthesis. It occurs in the nucleus before translation. During transcription, RNA bases pair DNA bases, replacing Thymine with Uracyl. You will find the example in the explanation.

Note: The DNA sequence is missing, so I will provide a new sequence and explain the procedure. I suggest you perform the same steps with your molecule fragment and reach the correct mRNA.

Protein synthesis

Proteins synthesis is done in two stages: transcription and translation.

The whole process begins in the nucleus and finishes in the cytoplasm.

Protein synthesis initiates in the AUG start codon -Metionin-, and ends when reaching either of the stop codons UAA, UAG, UGA.  

Once the new molecule is completed, it is sent to its final destiny.

Transcription:

The first step before protein arrangement is to synthesize messenger RNA, mRNA.

This is the transcription process and occurs in the nucleus.

When the DNI molecule separates into two strands to form the transcription bubble, we can identify two separate segments: coding strand and template strand.

The coding strand goes in direction 5' to 3', while the complementary strand -template strand- grows in direction 3' to 5'.

This last segment is the one that is going to be complemented by the mRNA.  It is the template strand.

A template DNI strand is read in direction 3'→ 5' to build the mRNA molecule that grows in direction 5'→ 3'.

During transcription bases forms pairs. RNA replaces Thymine with Uracyl, so pairs are as follows,

          DNA            mRNA  

Adenine pairs Uracyl, Thymine pairs Adenine, Guanine pair Cytosine,  Cytosine pair Guanine.

Translation:  

Translation occurs in the cytoplasm.

During translation, rRNA reads mRNA in 5' to 3' direction, and tRNA adds the correct amino acid to the growing chain.

The first extreme to be translated carries the amino-terminal group, while the other extreme carries the carboxy-terminus group.

Example

We will consider for this example the following DNA template strand.

DNI strand  ⇒   5'-TAGAACGCCTCGAAATTTCATACT-3'

Transcription

template DNI strand  ⇒   5'-TAGAACGCCTCGAAATTTCATACT-3'

                      mRNA  ⇒  3´-AUCUUGCGGAGCUUUAAAGUAUGA- 5´

The new mRNA strand is

mRNA   ⇒  3´-AUCUUGCGGAGCUUUAAAGUAUGA- 5´

Once the mRNA synthesis is over, the molecule leaves the nucleus and proceeds with translation in the cytoplasm.

environmental pressure definition

Answers

Environmental pressures are factors that can cause environmental change in the marine environment

Environmental pressure, also known as selection pressure or ecological pressure, refers to the influence exerted by the environment on living organisms, driving the process of natural selection.

It encompasses various factors, such as climate, competition for resources, predation, and other ecological interactions.

Environmental pressure plays a pivotal role in shaping the characteristics and traits of organisms within a population.

Individuals possessing advantageous traits that align with the environmental conditions are more likely to survive, reproduce, and pass on these beneficial traits to the next generation.

Over time, this process leads to the adaptation and evolution of species, enhancing their ability to thrive and succeed in their specific ecological niches.

22. Why do you think the sea urchin was chosen to test the effect of changes in pH?

Answers

Answer:

as it settles deeper underwater ph tends to be higher and a sea urchin tends to be more resilient to change

Acidic seawater, at current pH levels found in the world's oceans, can have a negative impact on sea urchin larval development so it is taken to test the effect of changes in pH.

What is sea urchin?

Sea urchins are spiny, globular echinoderms of the Echinoidea class. The urchins were able to compensate for internal pH in modest acidification (pH 7.8) and not in higher acidification (pH 7.6).

The pH of coelomic fluid was lower at higher temperatures.

Thus, due to this, the sea urchin was chosen to test the effect of changes in pH.

Show different life cycle patterns with the help of near labelled diagram

Answers

Answer:

The life cycles of all sexually reproducing plants follow a pattern of alternation between a haploid, sexual generation called gametophyte with a diploid, asexual generation called sporophyte.

This phenomenon of alternation between gametophyte (n) and sporophyte (2n) in the life cycle of a plant is called alternation of generations (Hofmeister, 1851).

Alternation of generations is of two types- isomorphic and heteromorphy. In isomorphic (or homologous) type both the alternating generations are morphologically similar, while in heteromophic (or heterologous) type of alternation of generations both the generations of life cycle are morphologically dissimilar.
