Answer:

D

Explanation:

The mRNA sequence given is in the 5' to 3' direction, the anticodon on the tRNA is in the opposite direction to the mRNA so would be in the 3' to 5' direction.

First we have to find the stop codon in the mRNA which is UAA, UAG or UGA.

5′-CCGUUACCAGGCCUCAUUAUUGGUAACGGAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-3′.

Now that we have found the stop codon, we can determine what the anticodon is by using the complementary sequence to the stop codon. This will be 3'-AUU-5', because A is complementary to U and G is complementary to C. The answers are given in the 5' to 3' direction, therefore we turn it around so that it is 5'-UUA-3' and we have our answer.

Explain some of the ocean’s other benefits besides supplying us with water.
mojhsa [17]
The ocean moderates the Earth's climate. Most solar radiation occurs at the Equator, whereas the poles receive little radiation. The ocean<span> transport warm water from the Equator toward the poles and cold water from the poles back to the Equator. The oceans provide a habitat for much of the marine life exploited by humans, such as harvested fish. The oceans act as a massive carbon sink, as phytoplankton absorb carbon from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. The ocean also provides a medium for large scale transportation of goods through shipping. It is unlikely that vehicles as large as container ships could ever be transported over land.</span>

What is a covalent bond
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

hope it helps...

Explanation:

A covalent bond, also called a molecular bond, is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms. These electron pairs are known as shared pairs or bonding pairs, and the stable balance of attractive and repulsive forces between atoms, when they share electrons, is known as covalent bonding.
