1) DNA Template strand: TACAATCGACCCATC. 2) Anticodon: AAU. 3) mRNA carries genetic information to build the protein. 4) 5 amino acids. 5) Amino acids: Met, Leu, Ala, Gly, Tyr.

1)

<h3>What is the template strand?</h3>

When the DNI molecule separates into two strands to form the transcription bubble, we can identify two separate segments:

  • The coding strand that goes in 5' to 3' direction
  • The complementary strand -template strand- that grows in 3' to 5' direction .

The template strand is the one that is going to be complemented by the mRNA.

mRNA ⇒ AUGUUAGCUGGGUAG

  DNA ⇒ TACAATCGACCCATC

Remember that pairs are as follows

<u>DNA    RNA</u>

T     →    A

A     →    U

G     →    C

<u>C     →    G   </u>

2)

<h3>What is an anticodon?</h3>

The anticodon is the sequence of three nucleotides that couples with the mRNA codon.

Each tRNA has two important sites. One of them is the anticodon that couples with the codon of the mRNA molecule. The other one carries the amino acid that is going to be addeded to the protein.

                              1st      2nd     3th     4th   5th

mRNA codons ⇒ AUG   UUA   GCU  GGG  UAG

tRNA anticodon ⇒         AAU

3)

<h3>What is translation?</h3>

Translation is the stage of protein synthesis during which mRNA carries genetic information needed to synthesize the new protein in the cytoplasm.

Steps,

1- The formed mRNA moves to the cytoplasm through the nucleus membrane pores.

2- Once in the cytoplasm, mRNA meets a ribosome, the primary structure for protein synthesis.

3- Ribosomes are organelles composed of the association of proteins with rRNA and tRNA. They can be found in the rough endoplasmic reticulum or floating in the cytosol.

4- While the ribosome reads mRNA strain from its 5' extreme to 3', tRNA adds the correct amino acids to build the polypeptide.

The function of mRNA during translation is to take genetic information needed to build the protein.

4)

<h3>How many amino acids are determined per codon?</h3>

Each codon codes for only one amino acid.

There are cases in which different codons code for the same amino acid, but a single codon always codes for one amino acid.

mRNA codons ⇒ AUG   UUA   GCU  GGG  UAG

Amino acids     ⇒ Met    Leu     Ala     Gly    Tyr

                                 1        2         3        4        5

This mRNA segment represents 5 amino acids.

5)

Amino acids     ⇒ Met    Leu     Ala     Gly    Tyr

slamgirl [31]

Answer: The correct answer to the question is option C

OSTEOARTHRITIS.

The client has a degenerative form of disease that is evidenced by osteoarthritis.

Explanation: Osteoporosis is otherwise known as degenerative joint disease.

In a healthy joint,a protective cartilage cushions the end of bones(articulating bones) and as well acting as a shock absorber.

In osteoarthritis,these cartilage that acts as a cushion to the bones wears down down or generates with time exposing the joint and the bones predisposing them to mild to moderate friction that occurs as a result of mobility of the bones/joint.

Osteoarthritis mostly affect joints of the hips, hands,spine and knees.

Some of the common symptoms of Osteoarthritis are;pain in the joints of the hands,knees,hips,lower back and neck with crackles,stiffness and tenderness of the joints which often results to difficulty in walking and deformity of the joint if left untreated.

Advocard [28]

Answer:

mitosis

Explanation:

Gametes are produced by mitosis (not meiosis) and after fertilization a diploid zygote is created. The single zygote cell never grows or divides my mitosis. It can only divide by meiosis to produce haploid cells once more, which then produce the main adult body.

The desert sand dunes seen here are created through the processes of ___________ and ____________. A) wind and water. B) erosion
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

C) Weathering and erosion

Explanation:

The completed sentence will be as follows -

The deserts and dunes seen here are created through the process of Weathering and Erosion.

Weathering is defined as the process of breakdown of rocks, soil and minerals into small particles under the influence of atmosphere, water and also biological organisms to some extent. The products of weathering are found at same place as the original rock with little or no movement.

In erosion, the materials such as rocks and soil or dissolved materials are transported from one place to the another place by the action of wind or water flow. So, here displacement of substances takes place.

Where were the earliest modern humans in australia, dating to 50 to 40,000 ybp, found?
vampirchik [111]
The earliest modern humans in Australia, dating to 50 - 40,000 yBP, were found at Lake Mungo. Early modern humans moved into North and South America because of population increase, competition for food and climate change. Modern humans likely migrated to the Americas via walking across the Being land bridge.
