There are $\boxed{{\text{two structures}}}$ that are possible for AHXYZ tetrahedral molecule. And these structures are non-superimposable mirror images of each other.

Further explanation:

A chiral carbon is referred to an atom which is attached to four different groups such that its mirror image is non-superimposable. The compound that contains a chiral carbon is known as a chiral compound. These two non-superimposable mirror images are known as enantiomers.

The absolute configuration given to the chiral center is R and S configuration. To identify any chiral center just look for the atom with 4 bonds with no lone pair and chiral center should be attached to four different groups.

The given configuration in the question is AHXYZ. Here the center atom is A and groups attached to the central atom are H, X, Y, Z. Since cental atom contains four different groups thus this is a chiral molecule. Therefore, the structure possible for this tetrahedral molecule is two, and both of them are non-superimposable mirror images of each other. (refer to the image)

Answer: Only 1 structure is possible for the formula having AHXYZ having tetrahederal geometry.

Explanation: A tetrahederal molecule contains in total of 5 atoms in which 4 atoms arrange themselves around a single atom which is considered as a central metal atom. The 4 substituents are present at the corners of a tetrahedron.

For a given formula AHXYZ, when we fix atom A as the central metal atom, then only 1 structure is possible for this molecule to have a tetrahederal geometry.

The structure is provided in the image below.

The nucleotide sequence of a DNA codon is TAG. In an mRNA molecule transcribed from this DNA, the codon has the sequence _______

inna [77]

Answer:

The nucleotide sequence of a DNA codon is TAG. In an mRNA molecule transcribed from this DNA, the codon has the sequence 5'-AUC-3'. In the process of protein synthesis, a transfer RNA pairs with the mRNA codon. The nucleotide sequence of the tRNA anticodon is 3'-UAG-5'. The amino acid attached to the tRNA is Isoleucine.

Explanation:

In the process of protein synthesis the mRNA contains the sequence of nucleotides —transcribed from the DNA— that defines the sequence of amino acids that a synthesized protein will have.

Codons are triplets of nitrogenous bases present in mRNA, which encode an amino acid, as well as the start and end of protein synthesis.

Anticodons correspond to triplets of bases present in transfer RNA (tRNA), which correspond with mRNA codons. tRNA is responsible for coupling amino acids to the polypeptide chain being synthesized. In view of this:

- DNA triplet: TAG

- Codon mRNA: 5'-AUC-3' 

- Anticodon tRNA: 3'-UAG-5'

- Amino acid: Isoleucine

1. Explain why neither cyclins not kinases alone can cause a cell to progress along in the cell cycle.

Degger [83]

1. Explain why neither cyclins nor kinases alone can cause a cell to progress through the cell cycle.

As cyclin accumulates, it activates their kinases that turn on the pathway to mitotic spindle formation, and so on.

2. How do controls of the cell cycle protect multi-cellular organisms from accumulating large numbers of damaged or defective cells?

The checkpoint control is responsible for multi-cellular organisms for not accumulating large numbers of damaged or defective cells. Checkpoint controls consist of proteins that detect mistakes and damage and quickly halt the cell cycle until repairs are made. When this occurs, the cell is said to be in cell-cycle arrest.

3. What is the difference between a cancerous tumor and metastasis?
Cancer is cause by mutations in the genes that encode these proteins can lead to uncontrolled growth. Cancer is when there is uncontrolled cell growth and reproduction. Metastasis is caused by tumors when they grow and interfere with the surrounding tissue or cells and break off and spread around the body. Cancerous tumors cause metastasis, and tumors are caused by mutations in genes that lead to uncontrolled growth.
4. What are the functions of tumor-suppressor genes and protoncogenes in noncancerous cells?
The genes that encode the checkpoint proteins are called tumor suppressors because they suppress the development of cells into tumors. If mutations inactivate these genes, the cell-cycle break is removed with or without a signal from the outside. Proto-oncogene’s are involved in promoting cell division, mutations can cause them to become oncogenes, or cancer genes which stimulate cells to leave G0 and divide whether or not it is a signal.

Which form of natural selection does the graph represent? A graph has trait value on the horizontal axis and proportion of indiv

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

directional selection

Explanation:

Directional selection is the most common type of natural selection and occurs when some individuals with characteristics favorable to the conditions of the environment in which they live, have survival advantages over individuals who do not have this advantage, who end up dying.

Imagine, for example, a graph showing the directional selection in the same species of moths. Moths of the same species have white and brown collations, in summer, brown moths can camouflage themselves on tree trunks, while white moths cannot and are easily captured by their predators, which means that the amount of white moths decrease. In this graph, the population of white moths would be at a minimum, at the same time that the population of brown moths would be at maximum.

However, with the arrival of the reverse, snow begins to cover the trees, allowing white moths to camouflage themselves more easily. The brown moths, then, are very exposed to predators, causing their population to reach the minimum while the population of white moths reaches the maximum.
