A certain bacterial mRNA is known to represent only one gene and to contain about

Biology
1 answer:
Brut [27]3 years ago
4 0

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.

Which of Mendel's laws or principles states that gametes carry one allele for each trait?
Burka [1]
Law of segregation states that <span>gametes carry one allele for each trait
As it states that
</span>that during the production of gametes the two copies of each hereditary factor segregate<span> during the production of gametes</span>  so that offspring acquire one of the two allele  from each parent
so option C is correct
