A polypeptide contains 103 amino acids, what is the length of the base pairs?

Biology
1 answer:
guajiro [1.7K]3 years ago

Answer:

309 (+3 for stop codon)

Explanation:

  • The Genetic code is a scheme of 3 nucleotide base pair codons that code for different amino acids.
  • Each amino acid has a codon of 3 base pairs. Therefore, to calculate the size of the mRNA, we use the formula:
  • Total base pairs = Amino acids * 3
  • B.P = 103* 3 = 309
  • The length of the mRNA that codes for 103 amino acids is 309 base pairs plus a 3 base pair stop codon that terminates translation.

Which of the following properties of transposable elements allows them to contribute to the C-value paradox?A. Their copy number
frozen [14]

Answer:

All of these choices are correct.

Explanation:

Transposons are the DNA sequences that can move from one location to another in the genome. The transposon genes are also known as jumping genes.

The C value paradox of the transposable elements depends on the different factors. The transposons can increase their number by copy and paste mechanism. The genes can be controlled by the enzyme transposase and their copies may exist at the different site of the chromosome.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).
