Life forms on a newly discovered exo-planet (planet found outside of our solar system) are somewhat similar to those found on Ea

rth. Their proteins are made of 10 different amino acids and their DNA and RNA only contain two different nucleotide bases, instead of four. This observation suggests that the codons coding for the amino acids are likely to be at least how many bases long?

Answer:

2 base long codon

Explanation:

In the given question, the total number of amino acids is about 10 and the number of nucleotide bases is only two.

So these two nucleotides will be arranged in a maximum of 2^{2}  as there are only two nucleotides and either each nucleotide will code for a single amino acid or in pairs of two it will code for specific amino acids. Therefore the maximum amino acid chain will be formed by the four bases of amino acids.

Thus, 2 base long codon will be correct.

Answer:

Amount of DNA in a diploid G2 nucleus after S phase has already undergone DNA replication hence the amount of DNA in a diploid nucleus in G1 would be 200 ng. As the organism is diploid, 200 ng of DNA would be carried on 14 chromosomes.

Answer:

A.  Nuclear reactors increase thermal pollution

Explanation:

From the analogy provided in this context, we can vividly see that the author is suggesting that the use of nuclear energy causes thermal pollution.

  • Nuclear energy is an alternate energy source as identified in the text.
  • Since a huge amount of heat energy is generated and they are not all used up, they are released into the ecosystem.
  • The earth is usually depicted as heat reservoir.
  • Increased release of heat to the environment will cause thermal pollution.
  • This increases the ambient temperature of water and degrades it.

What is a organelle
bija089 [108]
<span>An organelle is a functional subunit enclosed by a membrane within a eukaryotic cell. The name "organelle" means little organ and the name comes from the analogy with organs: what an organ is to a body, an organelle is to a cell. So, the organelle is the organ of the cell. There are different types of organelles in cells, such as nucleus, mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, endoplasmic reticulum, chloroplasts, vacuoles, and they all have a different function. For example, the nucleus is the organelle which main function is control of cell activities. Mitochondria are organelles which main function is energy production. </span>

Xelga [282]

Answer:

I agree and disagree with his statement.

Explanation:

We all know that the blood type AB is the universal recipient, so we know that this bloodtype can recieve any kind of blood. AB-type blood doesn't fight off anything because it has all of the antibodies needed. We also know that type O is the universal donor, meaning that this blood can be donated to anyone. This bloodtype doesn't have antibodies, so nothing will go wrong. However, for the other bloodtypes, yes, things have to be matched carefully. Type B blood can't be given type A blood, and so on. Another thing you have to think about is the Rh factor, which is the +/- after blood types. Rh+ bloodtypes can recieve both Rh+ and Rh- bloodtypes, but Rh- bloodtypes can only recieve Rh- bloodtypes. There are also graphic tables that will help answer this question if you're a visual learner!

I hope this helps, sorry it was a bit late!
