... I have stumbled across one of the dumbest questions that I have ever read. And the worst part, I CANT ANSWER IT! Q: you are studying protein synthesis in a cell. You have been able to determine very little about the process but have been able to determine that transcription and translation ...

... sure if it means gene expression or DNA replication; the question talks about initiation and replication, and the first answer is about protein synthesis (=gene expression, not replication...) The question should either be "why there are several origins of replication?" or "why ...

... major reasons fo the multiple initiation sites for eukaryotic replication? A: REASON #1: I think that there are multiple initiation sites so that synthesis can take place rapidly and at multiple sites. Therefore rather than simply synthesizing one protein, it can synthesis many at one time? REASON ...

... use the sugar trehalose to prevent ice crystal formation, and thus they can survive even if they were throughly frozen and then thawn. Trehalose synthesis and other metabolic changes take some time, though, so your water bear will not survive if you simply drop it into liquid nitrogen.

... resistant to the antibiotic if the bacteria are in the presence of the antibiotic long enough. Most of these antibiotic work by inhibiting protein synthesis in bacterial cells, so any cell will ultimately die unless they are resistant to the antibiotic. Now the antibiotics that stop bacteria from ...
