In order to stop an infection caused by bacteria, which of the following molecules would you target to kill the bacteria, without harming the human cell which harbors the bacteria? - -a. RNA polymerase A research scientist is trying to create a new strain of bacteria that can produce a protein needed for her research. Which of the following molecules will act as a template in creating the protein? - -c. messenger RNA (mRNA) What is one direct effect of inhibiting translation? - -b. Producti...

Deedra's dad has Alzheimer's Disease (AD) which is caused by a change in ______ structure. - -d. protein Correct! AD is a manifestation of neuronal death and damage caused by malformed protein structures. Proteins are crucial molecules with various functions in the cells. The structure of a protein directly impacts its function. Deedra's father has Alzheimers which is caused by a disturbance in the protein structure of at least two proteins, amyloid beta and tau. Alzheimer's disease is...

DNA replication is ___________, which allows each of the two strands to serve as a _______ for the new strands. - -c. semiconservative, template CorrectCorrect! DNA replication is semiconservative, meaning that each new duplex has one original (parent) strand and one new strand. Because the two parent strands are separated during replication and the base pairing is predictable, each parent strand can serve as a template for the new strand synthesis. Which of the following enzymes does NOT a...

Myoglobin and hemoglobin each have different numbers of subunits and this affects their respective oxygen storage and delivery capabilities. How many subunits do myoglobin and hemoglobin each have? - -a. One, Four Myoglobin consist of one and hemoglobin consists of four subunits. The number of subunits affects their respective oxygen storage and delivery capabilities. Addition of ______________________alters the shape of the iron-heme complex, and therefore its absorption of light as indic...
