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.

lesantik [10]

Answer:

Friend (endotherm) will need to eat more calories than snake (ectoderm) to maintain constant body temperature.

To generate heat endotherms convert the food they eat into energy through the process called metabolism. Most of the food that the endotherms eat is converted into fuel to maintain a constant body temperature. Endotherms need to eat more food than ectoderms of the same size to maintain their constant body temperature.
