Describe the genetic code and its relationship to polypeptides and proteins

Biology

The genetic code is directly related to polypeptides and proteins in the sense that genes are decoded to synthesize proteins.

What is the genetic code?

Genetic code is the set of rules by which the sequence of bases in DNA are translated into the amino acid sequence of proteins.

The genetic code is unique for living organisms and is used to synthesize the proteins that is responsible for various activities in living organisms.

The genes in the genetic code are first transcribed into mRNA, which is then translated into proteins (polypeptides).

Abiotic factors, like water, are critical to most food chains. True or False?
Ierofanga [76]
<span>That statement is true
Abiotic factors (such as weather and environment) will determine which organism will be superior compared to another. For example, Lion will be placed as the highest in the food chain if they're in Savanna environment. But, if we place that lion in the middle of the ocean, the lion will not has the superiority that it has on land.</span><span />

Hemophilia is an X-linked recessive condition in which blood does not clot properly. Queen Victoria of England had one allele fo
kondaur [170]

Answer:

Because hemophilia is an X-linked recessive condition.

Explanation:

As the problem states, hemophilia is an X-linked recessive condition.

  • Meaning that in Queen Victoria's female descendants (coded XX) which inherited the Queen's one allele, for hemophilia to appear in them it would be necessary to inherit another hemophillia-carrying allele from the father.
  • The Queen's male descendants (coded XY) would always manifest hemophilia if they inherited the Queen's hemophilia allele, as they possesed only one X gene.

Ø A large taxa, includes insects and a small group of wingless arthropods.

Ø Body plan: 3 parts, head, thorax and abdomen.

Ø Head with six segments.

Ø Thorax with three pairs of jointed legs (hence the name hexapoda)

Ø Head bears a presegmental acron.

Ø Acron bears compound eyes.

Why is it essential that the regulatory mechanisms that activate glycogen synthesis also deactivate glycogen phosphorylase?
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

There are two pathways occur in the same cellular compartment, and, if both are on at the same time, a futile ATP hydrolysis cycle results. Using the same mechanism to turn them on/off or off/on is highly efficient.

- "Glycogen Phosphorylase" activity can be allosterically controlled ATP and G6P allosteric inhibitors, AMP allosteric activator as well as, controlled through covalent modification, phosphorylation and via hormones.

- Reaction Catalyzed by Glycogen Synthase:

The activity of glycogen synthase is subject to the same type of covalent modification as glycogen phosphorylase, however, the response is opposite. Glycogen Synthase is activated by G6P. It is also controlled via hormones.
