Explanation:
COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) is caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. MERS is caused by MERS-CoV, SARS by SARS-CoV. Influenza is caused by influenza viruses.
Explanation:
RuBisCO (Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase) is the most abundant protein on Earth and the key enzyme in the Calvin cycle (C3 pathway). It catalyzes the fixation of CO2 by attaching it to Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) to form a 6-carbon intermediate that immediately splits into two molecules of 3-PGA.
Explanation:
Transcription is the synthesis of mRNA from the DNA template strand by RNA polymerase. It occurs in the nucleus (eukaryotes). Replication is DNA duplication. Translation is protein synthesis from mRNA. Transformation is the uptake of foreign DNA by bacteria. The central dogma: DNA → RNA → Protein. Transcription produces mRNA, tRNA, rRNA. The mRNA carries the codon sequence for protein assembly.
