a.
hull fouling
b.
the aquarium trade in exotic, nonnative aquatic species
c.
intentional release
d.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: A

Explanation: Hull Fouling

Answer 2

The introduction of Caulerpa, also known as killer algae, into California was ultimately the result of the aquarium trade in exotic, nonnative aquatic species. The correct option is b.

What is exotic species?

Exotic species are those that have been introduced, either intentionally or unintentionally, by humans into an ecosystem where they did not evolve. Such introductions are most likely a natural occurrence.

Endemic species are those that are found only in one region and nowhere else on the planet.

Invasive species have the potential to extirpate native plants and animals, reduce biodiversity, compete with native organisms for limited resources, and alter habitats.

This has the potential to have significant economic consequences as well as fundamental disruptions to the coastal and Great Lakes ecosystems.

Caulerpa, also known as killer algae, was introduced into California as a result of the aquarium trade in exotic, nonnative aquatic species.

Thus, the correct option is b.

The role of the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) in RNA interference is to cleave tRNAs to slow the rate of translation. disrupt gene expression by cleaving mRNAs that are complementary to the guide strand of the RNA duplex that was introduced. cleave the introduced RNA duplex. disrupt gene expression by interfering with mRNA export to the cytoplasm. create a passenger strand to bind to the mRNA and keep the mRNA from being translated.

Answers

Answer:

disrupt gene expression by cleaving mRNAs that are complementary to the guide strand of the RNA duplex that was introduced

Explanation:

The RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) is a ribonucleoprotein complex composed of proteins that associate with regulatory small non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs) such as, for example, microRNAs (miRNAs) and small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) in order to regulate gene expression by the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway. These sncRNAs (around 18-30 nucleotides in length) are complementary or nearly complementary to messenger RNAs, thereby they can bind to target mRNA sequences in order to trigger RNAi via mRNA degradation, translational repression, etc. The core component of the RISC complex is an evolutionary conserved Argonaute (Ago) protein that cleaves target mRNAs.

Protein synthesis consumes four high-energy phosphate bonds per added amino acid. Transcription consumes two high energy phosphate bonds per added nucleotide. Calculate how many protein molecules will have been made from an individual mRNA at the point when the energy cost of translation is equal to the energy cost of transcription. Assume that the nucleotides in the coding portion of the mRNA constitute 5% of the total that are transcribed.

Answers

Answer:

30 protein molecules per mRNA molecule

Explanation:

In this problem, it is necessary to have into account that the transcriptional process requires six (6) phosphate bonds to synthesize one (1) codon (i.e, each three nucleotides), and also discards 95% more energy to make mRNA, it means 19 times this amount of energy >> 6 x 19 = 114 bonds. In consequence, transcription requires 120 phosphate bonds (6 + 114 = 120), while translation requires four (4) phosphate bonds per codon. From this deduction, it is possible to find the number of protein molecules synthesized with regard to the energy cost of the translation process and the transcriptional process >>> 120 bonds (transcription) /4 bonds (translation) = 30 protein molecules.
