A) The discovery of ribozymes demonstrated that enzymes did not have to be proteins, and that RNA can store, transmit, and do biological work as an enzymatic molecule. B) The discovery of ribozymes helped us understand why RNA only stores and transmits biological data, but does not act as an enzymatic molecule. C) The discovery of ribozymes verified that enzymes had to be proteins. This discovery helped to eliminate other theories about the origin of life in RNA world. D) The discovery of ribozymes demonstrated definitively that ribozymes function only as an enzymatic molecule and therefore evolved before information carrier molecules.arrow_forward
- Pls help ASAParrow_forwardCan you please do question 15, and 16arrow_forwardA bacterial species was isolated from a stool sample given by a healthy human volunteer. Researchers purified and cultured large amounts of the bacteria and sequenced its genome. They ran a comparison between the bacterial genome and the entire NCBI Genbank database (which includes the human genome sequence) and found a gene in the bacteria that showed 90% sequence homology to a human adhesion protein gene, but only 35% homology to other bacterial adhesion protein genes including those of other common gut commensal bacterial species. What conclusions could the researchers make from their results? The bacteria may have picked up and incorporated the human adhesion gene by horizontal gene transfer, after engulfing cell parts or DNA from human cells within the gut. All bacterial species living in the human gut may have originally had the adhesion protein gene that is homologous to the human version, but the gene became mutated in all the species except the one, which…arrow_forward
- What observations are consistent with the conclusion that DNA serves as the genetic material in eukaryotes? Select the four correct statements. a. DNA content and ploidy in various cell types( sperm and somatic cells) are related b. DNA is found to be the only macromolecule in eukaryotes that has different subunits. c. Gene transfer is a direct evidence as it has been facilitated by recombinant DNA techniques. d. The correlation of the action and absorption spectra of ultraviolet light support the interpretation that DNA is a genetic material. e. DNA is shown to be present in ribosomes, matrix, and nucleus, where genetic function is performed. f. DNA is shown to be present in mitochondria, chloroplasts, and nucleus, where genetic function is performed.arrow_forwardWhat is the correct order of information flow in bacterial and eukaryotic cells?
