The amino acids of a growing polypeptide chain are held together by what kind of bond during the elongation stage of translation

Answer: Peptide bond

Explanation: A peptide bond is the covalent chemical bond  bond that holds together two amino acids which occurs when the carboxylic group of one molecule reacts with the amino group of the other molecule, linking the two molecules and releasing a water molecule catalyzed by peptidyl transferase, an RNA-based enzyme  integrated into the growing chain.

In the elongation stage ie when Long chain polypeptides are forming , peptide bonds  are formed by linking many amino acids to each other. These peptide bonds of amino acids are  relatively unstable, and  can break spontaneously in a slow process as can be seen especially  in enzymes of living organisms in the making and breaking of bonds.

In animals, the inability to make the pigment melanin results in albinism, a recessive autosomal condition. Two unaffected paren
Fittoniya [83]

Answer: 1/16, or approximately 6.25% (see explanation below)

Explanation:

Answering this question requires two steps.

First, we need to figure out the probability that this couple will have a child with albinism in the first place. We know the following:

- Both parents are unaffected.

- The couple has already had one affected child.

- Albinism follows an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern.

Let ( M = normal gene ) and ( m = mutated gene ). Since the condition is recessive, the affected child can be assumed to have a “mm” genotype. Barring the possibility of a de novo mutation (which are assumed to be rare), the affected child must have inherited one ”m” allele from each parent. Since both of them are unaffected, however, we can assume that they are both carriers (genotype “Mm”). In conclusion, 1/4 of their offspring (25%) <em>for any given pregnancy</em> may be expected to have albinism. See the resulting Punnett square:

<u>       |      M    |      m   </u>

<u>M    |    MM   |    Mm  </u>

<u>m    |    Mm   |    mm  </u>

Note that the question asks about the probability that not one but two consecutive births result in affected children. Since it can be assumed that both events are independent (meaning: the outcome of a pregnancy does not influence the outcome of following ones), we may apply the rule of multiplication for probabilities. The final answer is therefore 1/4 * 1/4 = 1/16.

Describe the path taken by water molecules from the soil until it reaches a mesophyll cell of a leaf to be made into sugar
pychu [463]

Answer:

Water is taken up through the xylem until it reaches a leaf, where it diffuses out into the surrounding mesophyll cells. Water diffuses from the mesophyll cells to the surrounding intercellular air spaces as water vapour, and finally, out of the leaf through the stomata.

Why is the weight of an object more on Earth than on the Moon?
MissTica

The correct answer is:

Gravitational pull is greater on earth . As weight = mass × g so we have more weights on earth than on moon.

Explanation:

This is because gravitational force is immediately proportional to the mass of an object. Greater the mass, greater will be the gravitational force exerted by it and thus, more will be our weight. As the moon has secondary mass than the earth, it has a lighter gravitational influence and hence, we weigh less on the moon.
