Nady [450]

Answer:

Valine-Leucine-Proline-Lysine-Histidine

Explanation:

The central dogma of biology is the process by which DNA is used to synthesize RNA and subsequently amino acid sequence (PROTEIN). The processes of transcription and translation is used in gene expression. Transcription is the process whereby the information encoded in a DNA molecule is used to synthesize a mRNA molecule. Transcription is catalyzed by RNA polymerase enzyme, which uses complementary base pairing rule i.e Adenine(A)-Thymine(T), Guanine(G)-Cytosine(C) pairing.

N.B: Thymine is replaced by Uracil in the mRNA

For the above DNA sequence: CAC GAC GGA TTC GTA, the mRNA sequence will be: GUG CUG CCU AAG CAU

Translation is the second process of gene expression which involves the synthesis of an amino acid sequence from an mRNA molecule. The mRNA is read in a group of three nucleotides called CODON. Each codon specifies an amino acid (see attached image for genetic code)

Based on the attached genetic code, an mRNA sequence: GUG CUG CCU AAG CAU will encode an amino acid sequence: Valine(Val) - Leucine (Leu) -Proline (Pro) -Lysine (Lys) - Histidine (His).

GUG specifies Valine amino acid

CUG specifies Leucine amino acid

CCU specifies Proline amino acid

AAG specifies Lysine amino acid

CAU specifies Histidine amino acid

A patient has severe acne that has been refractory to treatment. The patient is taking tetracycline and using topical tretinoin
Degger [83]

Answer:

The correct answer is option c. "Tetracycline must be discontinued before beginning the isotretinoin".

Explanation:

Isotretinoin is a medication used to treat cases of severe acne, having dramatic positive effects since the patients start the treatment. However, the use isotretinoin should be monitored by a doctor because it is hard to process and could cause renal side effects. In this case, the patient must discontinue its treatment with tetracycline before start using isotretinoin.

In what phase does DNA coil up and chromosomes become visible while the nuclear membrane is breaking down?
sweet [91]
This is the Prophase. 

<span>1) The chromosomes coil up and become visible while the nuclear envelope disappears. 
2) Sister chromatids are appears.
3) A centriole forms at each pole and spindle fibers made of microtubules grow out of it.
4) Short microtubules stick out from the centriole in a star shape known as an aster.

WILL MARK BRAINLIEST. <br> How can PCR and gel electrophoresis be used to identify people?
Talja [164]

Answer: answer

Explanation: Using PCR, a DNA sequence can be amplified millions or billions of times, producing enough DNA copies to be analyzed using other techniques. For instance, the DNA may be visualized by gel electrophoresis, sent for sequencing, or digested with restriction enzymes and cloned into a plasmid.

Thalidomide was a druggiven to pregnant women in the early
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

Thalidomide may be defined as a type of the sedative drug that in the earlier time referred for the pregnant ladies. This drug causes the world wide tragedy and acts as a teratogen.

This drug causes mutation in the fetus. The Ames test is effective to understand the mutagenicity of the drug. In this test, if the auxotrophic strain of the bacteria is grown on the the deficient media containing thalidomide drug. The bacteria growth indicates the positive Ames test and the substance is considered as mutagen.
