Answer:
In the genetic code, a stop codon (or termination codon) is a nucleotide triplet within messenger RNA that signals a termination of translation into protein
Explanation:
Proteins are based on polypeptides, which are unique sequences of amino acids. Most codons in messenger RNA (from DNA) correspond to the addition of an amino acid to a growing polypeptide chain, which may ultimately become a protein. Stop codons signal the termination of this process by binding release factors, which cause the ribosomal subunits to disassociate, releasing the amino acid chain. While start codons need nearby sequences or initiation factors to start translation, a stop codon alone is sufficient to initiate termination.
Answer:
B
Explanation:
<em>The correct answer here would be that </em><em>it can be injected by a virus.</em>
Since a virus operates by taking over the genetic system of the host and uses its replication, transcription, and translation to make virions or viral particles through the lytic or lysogenic life cycle. In the process, if the virus is utilized as a vector to carry a foreign DNA, the DNA is introduced into the genome of the bacteria. This is exactly what happens during the process known as transduction.
<em>The correct option is, therefore, </em><em>B.</em>
Answer: A protein's specific shape determines its function.
Explanation: If the three-dimensional structure of the protein is altered because of a change in the structure of the amino acids, the protein becomes denatured and does not perform its function as expected.
Answer:
B (2nd Option): DNA is single-stranded
Explanation:
A is correct: DNA is indeed found in the nucleus of eukaryotes.
B is incorrect: Although there can be single strands of DNA (ssDNA), DNA is usually double-stranded which is how it forms its characteristic double-helix shape.
C is correct: Deoxyribose is indeed the sugar in DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid)
D is correct: The two single ringed nitrogenous bases in DNA are thymine and cytosine, while the other two (Adenine and Guanine are double ringed.

<span>If there is not enough carbohydrate available in cells to allow the acetyl-CoA to enter the citric acid cycle, it will be used to make ketones. Acetyl-CoA is a molecule that is important in some biochemical reactions involving protein lipid and carbohydrate metabolism. It function to transport an acetyl group to the citric acid cycle or the Krebs cycle for it to be oxidized for the production of energy. Ketone can be produced and is regulated from the acetyl-CoA. The rate of the production of this substance would increase during starvation or in other words there is less carbohydrates that is available in the body.</span>
