How might you alter a trna so that it inserts an alanine into a polypeptide for which a lysine is coded?

TRNA stands for transfer-RNA which is used in the process of protein synthesis or translation. tRNA is a unique clover leaf like structure that has 4 arms- amino acid acceptor site (acceptor arm), D loop, T psi C loop and anticodon loop. It also has a small variable loop. The anticodon loop consists of a sequence of 3 bases that is complementary to the 3 bases present of mRNA to be translated. A tRNA for alanine will have an anticodon for alanine while a tRNA for lysine will have an anticodon for lysine. For a tRNA to insert an alanine in place of lysine in a forming peptide, the anticodon and the amino acid acceptor site should be altered so that it accepts lysine in place of alanine and add it to the growing polypeptide.

Answer:

Predator-prey relation.

Explanation:

A predator is defined as an organism that hunts another individual, whereas a prey refers to the organism that is eaten by the predator. They tend to co-evolve (evolve together). The prey is essential for the predator to survive, while the predator controls the prey populations by hunting some of the individuals.

Predator-prey relations are interactions that occur between two species where one species (prey) represents a food source for the other species (predator).

The turtle (prey) is essential for the survival of the jaguar (Panthera onca), while the jaguar controls the populations of turtles by preying upon them. Therefore, this is a predator-prey relation.

How do scientists use fossils to study climate? PLS HELP

faust18 [17]

Answer:

Many small organisms can be preserved within these layers of sediment through time. The changing abundances of these fossils through time can tell us whether a change in the environment or climate was gradual or abrupt. Studying fossil pollen and other fossils helps scientists to learn more about climate change.

Kryger [21]

Answer: Option a

Explanation:

Biotechnology is the branch which deals with the most advanced techniques which is required to make the life easy.

One of the most important application is Genetically modified crops. Genetically modified crops are pest resistant and have many advantages.

There are few disadvantages one of them is beneficial insects are also adversely affected. There are many useful insects that helps in pollination and they are also killed because of pest resistant plant.

hence the correct answer is option A
