<span>The answer is cysteine. This is a half essential proteinogenic amino acid with the formulation of HO₂CCHCH₂SH. It is prearranged by the codons UGU and UGC. The thiol side chain in cysteine frequently partakes in enzymatic responses, as a nucleophile.</span>

Answer:

Theoretically, it will result in the formation of cysteine or cys. However, in living cell or practically it may not result in formation of cysteine as translation always begins with the formation of methionine which is coded by AUG (start codon) on mRNA.

If DNA contains ACG as the first triplet, then it will be coded as UGC in the mRNA. UGC codes for cysteine which is a semi-essential amino acid.

On the other hand, if ACT is kept as the first triplet in a DNA sequence, then it will be coded as UGA which is one of the three stop codons (UAA, UGA, and UAG).

How did the environment of Arabia serve as a form of protection during much of the region's history?
weeeeeb [17]

Answer: A: Its fertile oases enabled farmers to grow enough food for themselves and for sale.

Explanation: The Arabia region is a region located within the Arabian desert. A desert is an area of extreme heat, often dry weather condition with barren lands that cannot support agriculture and food production. An oases on the other hand is a region of luscious, cultivate-able land within a desert.

Food is one of the most important basic needs of man and hardly can anyone survive without food for more than twenty days. Hence, the presence of oases within the otherwise dry environment of the Arabia region is a major protection against death from hunger.

Taking a closer look at other options, none of them guarantees food supply and income to the Arabia region unlike food production in oases. Hence, the fertile oases is really the most important factor that serves as protection in the region's history.

Correct option: A
