Eukaryote

contains half of the original DNA double helix. Uses the genes as templates to produce several functional forms of RNA Products One strand of DNA becomes 2 daughter strands. mRNA, tRNA, rRNA and non-coding RNA( like microRNA) Product processing In eukaryotes complementary base pair nucleotides bond with the sense or antisense strand. Thesre are then connected with phosphodiester bonds by DNA helix to create a complete strand.…

Genome Evolution Did you know that the Tasmanian Devil’s genome is rapidly evolving to resist a deadly disease that has killed eighty percent of their population since 1996? To most people that means little to nothing, because most people don’t know what a genome is let alone the process in which it takes to evolve or for Scientists to discover the evolution. In the following paragraphs we will discuss what genome evolution is, how genomes are able to be compared and how the size can…

The Fermi Paradox There’s an estimate of 100,00 intelligent civilizations in our galaxy, yet humans are experts on making everything about them. The Fermi Paradox establishes two different points of view where one may be correct and prove the other wrong: there’s life all through the universe or we are all by ourselves. Both are only speculations, but I believe the first one is closer to the truth. Though, most of us will rather ignore or not even accept the fact that human life and life…

In this stage numerous reactions can occur in the cell’s cytoplasm, and glycolysis will then take the molecule and break it down. The stage of cellular respiration is Krebs cycle, this cycle happens in mitochondria in eukaryotes and also in cytoplasm in prokaryotes. There are many steps to this cycle however enzymes, and catalysts have a big role in individual reactions. The pyruvic acid in created by reactions in glycolysis go through multiple reactions and create carbon…

Many endosymbiotic theories have figured in opinion about the differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. More than 20 different versions of Endosymbiotic theories have been presented in literature to explain the origin of eukaryotes and their mitochondria (Martin, Garg and Zimorski, 2015, p.1678). A Prokaryotic cell contains structural components such as: Cell wall is made of peptidoglycan. Gram-positive bacteria contain a thick cell wall with many layers of peptidoglycan…

Structure and function have always had a close relationship in biological, chemical and general terms. Often the functionality is dependent upon the structure, for example the villi on the epithelial cells increase the surface area and hence the rate of absorbance of molecules in to cells and the blood stream. DNAs function is highly specific to its structure as even the smallest change to this could cause a long term effect, or even death. Base sequence mutations, errors in replication and…

All About the Canada lynx Physical Traits The Canada lynx has long gray fur with long black tufts of fur around the face. It looks like a beard. It has long black hair tufts coming from the tips of its ears. The lynx has big paws that are covered with fur that help it run on deep snow. Its claws can retract which help when it needs to run or they can come out if the lynx needs to climb. Their front legs are shorter than their back legs and their tail is short with a black tip. They are medium…

Colorado! The coyote is a mammal, just like us! This being said, they are many similarities in the make up of this animal! Coyote They coyote comes from the classification of eukaryote. From the “root” of the branch, comes both animals and plants. Animals and plants are sister taxa, meaning that they branch off from eukaryote, at the same point. I find these two to be the most closely related, for this reason. Just like we have a reproductive, cardiovascular and digestive system, so does the…

DNA strand. This process is called transcription. When the RNA molecule exits the nucleus, it can be translated into a polypeptide sequence. This process is called translation. With some adjustments, these pathways happen in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Plasmids…

life of an animal, then what 'right' do we have to cease the life of a plant? Yet, removing both sources of food would lead to starvation. It just so happens that all food derives from biological sources. And given the similarities between all eukaryote life forms at the molecular and genetic level, how can we possibly come up with a logically coherent 'moral'/'ethical' framework that values one life form over the other without antropomorphic bias? Aren't the vegan values adopted as premises,…
