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.

Where are the three seismographs used to find the epicenter of this earthquake located?
8090 [49]

Scientists use triangulation to find the epicenter of an earthquake. When seismic data is collected from at least three different locations, it can be used to determine the epicenter by where it intersects. Every earthquake is recorded on numerous seismographs located in different directions. Each seismograph records the times when the first (P waves) and second (S waves) seismic waves arrive. From that information, scientists can determine how fast the waves are traveling. Knowing this helps them calculate the distance from the epicenter to each seismograph.

To determine the direction each wave traveled, scientists draw circles around the seismograph locations. The radius of each circle equals the known distance to the epicenter. Where these three circles intersect is the epicenter.

Which is the most atypical connective tissue since it does not connect things or provide structural support?
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

Blood

Explanation:

Connective tissue consists of extracellular matrix and cells. The main function of connective tissue is to bind the other tissues together, provide them support and strength. Blood is one of the liquid connective tissue that does not perform such functions. The presence of liquid extracellular matrix (plasma) and formed elements (blood cells) makes it a connective tissue. It serves in the transport of nutrients, gases, wastes, hormones, etc. It also takes part in immune responses but does not strength or support other body tissues.
