Where in the cell does transcription take place? DNA is a double-stranded molecule. How are the adjacent nucleotides in a single strand of DNA joined together? A. Hydrogen bonds between adenine and thymine and
Cell Replication: Transcription and translation are important functions of the cell. Transcription is a function of RNA as it makes copies of the DNA units of adenine, thymine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil. Cell replication involves copying the DNA code for future daughter cells. The genetic cod...
This insight is useful for improved risk management in the case of unwanted health effects but also for developing novel medical therapies. The concepts that help us better understand particles’ and fibres’ risks include the fate of particles in the body; exposure, dosimetry and dose-metrics ...
Melanin then transfers to keratinocytes—the cell that produces keratin, an essential protein in the epidermis—where the melanin internally absorbs UV rays and reduces DNA damage. However, if the skin receives excessive exposure to UV radiation—without sun protection—the melanin will eventually fail...
We are rapidly entering an era of 'personal genomics' wherein '-omics' data (for example, RNA expression, methylation, histone acetylation and protein abundances) will be available for large numbers of cell lines, and ultimately individuals. Thus, GRNs will rapidly become annotated. Developing ...
Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, with a two- to fourfold increase in cardiovascular disease risk compared with non-diabetic individuals. Abnormalities in lipid metabolism that are observed in the context of type 2 diabetes ...
Particles and fibres affect human health as a function of their properties such as chemical composition, size and shape but also depending on complex interactions in an organism that occur at various levels between particle uptake and target organ respon
While it is generally accepted that the mammalian vagina contains a site-specific microbiota that plays relevant roles in genital and reproductive health, the existence of an extra-vaginal microbiota in the female reproductive tract (i.e. follicular fluid, oviduct, endometrium, and placenta) is, at...
The long-held promise of gene and cell therapies (GCTs) for Parkinson's disease (PD) is slowly starting to emerge as a realistic prospect. In the last decade, the first in vivo gene therapies (GTs) for non-neurological conditions have met regulatory approval initially in the form of Glyber...
Where in the cell does transcription take place? Where in the cell do transcription and translation occur in: a. prokaryotes? b. eukaryotes? What is the difference between transcription and translation? Where in the cell do they occur? Describe the basics of transcription and translation. Where ...
