Answer:

C) 30,000

Explanation:

According to the given information, the bacterial mRNA consists of about 800 nucleotides. Three consecutive nucleotides together make one genetic codon which in turn codes for one specific amino acid in the protein encoded by this mRNA.

So, an mRNA with 800 nucleotides will have total 800/3 = 266.67 or 266 genetic codes. The protein encoded by this mRNA would have a total of 266 amino acids.

Given that one amino acid imparts 110 units to the molecular weight of the protein, the protein with 266 amino acids have the molecular weight= 266 x 110 = 29260, that is about 30,000.

Answer:

decomposers

Explanation:

These are heterotrophic organisms that feed on dead animals and plants, secretions, or discarded parts of living beings, that is, organic matter.

And they break it down into inorganic.

How do mass extinctions affect the rate of evolutionary change?

ANEK [815]

The role of mass extinction in evolution. At the most basic level, mass extinctions reduce diversity by killing off specific lineages, and with them, any descendant species they might have given rise to. ... But mass extinction can also play a creative role in evolution, stimulating the growth of other branches.
