Nady [450]

Answer:

Valine-Leucine-Proline-Lysine-Histidine

Explanation:

The central dogma of biology is the process by which DNA is used to synthesize RNA and subsequently amino acid sequence (PROTEIN). The processes of transcription and translation is used in gene expression. Transcription is the process whereby the information encoded in a DNA molecule is used to synthesize a mRNA molecule. Transcription is catalyzed by RNA polymerase enzyme, which uses complementary base pairing rule i.e Adenine(A)-Thymine(T), Guanine(G)-Cytosine(C) pairing.

N.B: Thymine is replaced by Uracil in the mRNA

For the above DNA sequence: CAC GAC GGA TTC GTA, the mRNA sequence will be: GUG CUG CCU AAG CAU

Translation is the second process of gene expression which involves the synthesis of an amino acid sequence from an mRNA molecule. The mRNA is read in a group of three nucleotides called CODON. Each codon specifies an amino acid (see attached image for genetic code)

Based on the attached genetic code, an mRNA sequence: GUG CUG CCU AAG CAU will encode an amino acid sequence: Valine(Val) - Leucine (Leu) -Proline (Pro) -Lysine (Lys) - Histidine (His).

GUG specifies Valine amino acid

CUG specifies Leucine amino acid

CCU specifies Proline amino acid

AAG specifies Lysine amino acid

CAU specifies Histidine amino acid

Sveta_85 [38]
I think the correct answer would be diarrhea. It is often a result of consumption of contaminated food and drinks. And each year, it was estimated that approximately 2 million children died due to this. It is a condition where bowel movements are frequent and is in liquid form which would lead to dehydration.

Bacteria from the soil absorb nitrogen from the air and convert it into ammonium. This is an example of _____.
True [87]
<span>Nitrogen fixation

This process creates organic compounds, including ammonium, that contribute to the growth of a plant in much the way fertilizer does. Many plants have evolved to facilitate nitrogen fixing bacteria in their roots as to promote production of these organic compounds when the soil quality is poor or lacking in these bacteria.</span>
