Answer:

The protein produced by first mRNA will be shorter than the one produced by second mRNA.

Explanation:

A codon is a triplet of nucleotides i.e. a combination of three nucleotides is considered as a codon. Each codon specify a particular amino acid. But there are three stop codons UAA, UAG, UGA which do not specify any amino acid and lead to the termination of translation (protein synthesis). AUG is start codon which species an amino acid named as methionine.

The amino acid sequence for both of these mRNAs will be as follows:

AUGAUAGUGUAG -> methionine - isoleucine - valine

AUGAUAGUGUAC -> methionine - isoleucine - valine - tyrosine

So a protein synthesized by first mRNA has only 3 amino acids whereas  a protein synthesized by second mRNA has 4 amino acids. It means protein from first mRNA  is shorter than protein from second mRNA by one amino acid.

MRNa's are composed of codons. Codons are a sequence of three nucleotides that come together to be transcribed by an anti-codon to form units for genetic coding. For example, AUG is a codon and upon transcribing becomes the protein Methionine. In this case, they differ in the terminal codon. UAG is a stop codon while UAC is Tyrosine. The first sequence is complete,while the other one is not.

Most of the cells in the human body are diploid.

Diploid is a cell or organism that has paired chromosomes, one from each parent. In humans majority of the cells are diploid and have 23 pairs of chromosomes. The exception are the human sex cells (egg and sperm cells). These contain a single set of chromosomes and are known as haploid.

(a) What cell structures best reveal evolutionary unity?
xeze [42]

Answer:

The correct answer will be-

1. Evolutionary unity-  DNA

2. specialized cellular modifications- plant cells have chloroplasts and large central vacuole.

Explanation:

<u>Case I </u>

Evolutionary unity is a concept which explains that all the organisms possess some common structure or universal structure or molecules.

The best characterized evolutionary molecule is DNA molecule which took the role of genetic material in past and is passed on to the daughter cells and still is made up of the same components which are a five-carbon sugar, four types of nitrogenous bases and a phosphate group. This DNA molecule is present in almost every organism except for a few viruses.

<u>Case II </u>

The specialization of the cellular components depends on the function a cell has to perform which became established in the population. The plant cells depended on the sunlight to prepare food for themselves which was done by the chloroplast organelle which is absent in the animal kingdom.
